The boys and girls of P.S. 175 in Queens, NY, enjoyed their last “Released time” of the school year 2011/2012 last Wednesday.
Every Wednesday the boys and girls board two big school buses, to take them to the local Shul. The bus ride itself is a great experience, where the children sing their favorite Jewish songs. After arriving in Shul the boys and girls go to their respected classes.
Classes start every week with a very joyous Davening. After a full year of Davening, most of the children know the words by heart, being that Davening at “Released time” has many special songs and tunes. Following Davening, the children enjoy a very special class, every week on another topic, prepared beforehand by their teacher. The children receive special RT cards, raffle tickets, and special prizes. During class the children receive some Mezonois and a drink, and then say the Broches together with a lot of enthusiasm.
P.S. 175 has ka”h an average of seventy five children a week. The teachers and helpers include (in Alphabetical order): Arye Leib Pruss, Chaim Moshe Zirkind, Chaim Gajer, Dovid Rendler, Lazer Gajer, Levi Azulay, Mendel Schtroks, Mendy Kesselman, Nochum Greenwald, Sholom Boruch Lapidus, Shmaya Altein, Shmuly Rutman, Yankel Raskin, Yitzchok Katz, Yonasan Waller, Yosef Chaim Moskowitz, Yossel Serebryansky, and last but not least, Principal Yisroel Halon.
RT takes a lot of energy out of you, but every Wednesday, rain or shine, snow or a heat wave, the dedicated Bochurim of RT, hop in a van, and realize that they have a chance to light up the Neshomos and inspire the children.
