Students of Darchei Menachem boys school in Crown Heights will now enjoy recess time in their brand new game room, recently renovated with updated equipment.
The newly refurbished game room was sponsored by businessman Yossi Popack and his wife Batsheva, who was dismayed to find that their “game room” consisted of a lone ping pong game mounted on a folding table when visiting the Yeshiva a few months ago.
During that visit he pledged to donate new equipment for a new and exciting play area for the boys to use during their breaks.
Popack not only donated the funds for the new equipment, he took part in choosing them as well, along with Rabbi Chaim Perl, the school’s director of development.
“Mr. Popack wanted to be sure that our children only have the best,” said Perl.
The children showed their gratitude for the new toys and games with a large thank-you card, presented to Mr. Popack by Rabbi Perl, which included photos and signatures of the students.
I’m sure #8 has some spare cash so,don’t sit there and be a couch potato but donate and do something and if my assumptions regarding you having money is incorrect and you cant afford it then start a funding project and if you Poshit just don’t have the time then don’t start giving your wise ideas. what Mr. Popack did was very generous and has helped fund many Frum institutions grow. next time be more considerate and realize what he has done for this community is much more then one could ever have brought to C.H.
What a great idea. And being that you are the one to come up with it, there could be no one better qualified than you to spearhead the project. When do you start?
What about making teachers happy also….. just fundraising to pay for their work…… all the schools are behind in paychecks mechanchim and mrchanchos with a smile continue working hard, leaving the stress of “how will i pay my bills” and giving the best education to the kids. its about time to ensure that paycheck are given when due and not only kids have nice games to enjoy.
big zechusim with YDM. those teachers and students all work hard and they are just amazing. YP invested wisely, its a win-win with this.
Yossi Popack ‘Kol HaKovod!’
