this is a story that especially here in
queens where i
am all of us and really
all over the world when you think about
it because i'm going to tell you
about a certain organization the hazak
organization
you see here in queens we have an
organization that was started by two
wonderful extraordinary people rabbi
ilan
and rabbi yanev and
they put together more than 300 shiorim
not only in queens now but in other
areas as well
and because of these two tardikim and
the kazakh organization
more than 600 buhari and children have
been taken out of public school
and now are in regular yeshivas and
basiaco's and day schools
different levels but they're not in
public school only because of hazak
so i remember two years ago i was
speaking at a paula meeting i
believe it was a wood mirror and rabbi
ilan
iroff told a story an amazing story
about his mother shashana
and he told this story he said that his
mother shashana and his father
moshe they came from bukharia they got
married
they were in israel and then they came
to america now
elon and his older brother were
ready to go to pre-180 ready to go to
school
and what happened was that some israelis
told them
they were living in forest hills they
were telling them that there was a
school in hillcrest
and they were taking some of the
children so
she went to the school in hillcrest and
she walked around the hallways
and she really wasn't impressed she
didn't feel like a yiddish at tom
in the school and then she met the
principal
and he was a man without a beard it's
pretty funny that's what he said in
front of me but
it's okay and what happened was she just
did not feel this was the place
that she would want to send her children
so she just said she would get back to
them
and then she went back to forest hills
and somebody told her that there was a
school called argeustrail
and rob yeshua geld seller rav shia gel
seller
who was a tremendous thomas he was the
menil he was the principal
he was a tall striking man with a long
flowing beard
she came into this school and she saw
pictures of godila hanging on the wall
and she heard kids singing in this room
they were singing missionaires and this
woman they were singing tomorrow and
this one they were darkening
of course she didn't know what it was
but it just felt very gishmak
and very beautiful and she wanted her
children to come there
and she came into the office of robert
gilceller and she began talking about
her sons
elon and janev was too small to
go to school at that point
and rabbi galtella began realizing that
with her background
these kids would fall back they would
fall behind and they would not be able
to keep up with the other kids in the
class
and so in all sincerity he began telling
her
that this is not the school they're
going to fall behind they're not going
to be able to make it
and you know something she began to
realize
that he did not want to accept him in
the school
and tears came down her cheeks
she was crying she didn't say anything
but she was crying
she was so brokenhearted that her
children were not going to be accepted
in the school that she felt they could
grow to be very special
and you know something rabbit guilt saw
those tears on her face
and he said to her three words they are
accepted
and you know something elon became
i believe the valedictorian of the
school yanev went there as well as
did
and look at that because they started in
orgies world they became as great as
they became
and it occurred to me when i was writing
this that when you think about it
those 600 bucharian children today
that are out of public school and in
yeshivas and basiaco's
in from day schools those are the the
way
in a way the spiritual grandchildren
of either shoshanna meyeroff if you want
to look at it that way or rabbi guild
cellar
how did it happen because that woman
that woman that felt the pain
that her children could not get to
what a lesson that is for all of us
of mothers in claudia israel how much
credit they deserve
for raising the children that they do
and for taking care
of all the children
you
