"The town [Lakewood] has now become the focus of all the distractions that Rav Aharon ztz”l did not want in his yeshivah"
We enjoyed the heartwarming article by Rabbi Dovid Cohen in this weekend’s Mishpacha about Yeshiva Bonim LaMokom.
Yeshiva Bonim LaMokom has a principal by the name of Rabbi Zev Horowitz. The only way fit to describe him is to say that he is a malach in human form.
Rabbi Paysach Krohn elaborated, during his speech at the pre-Chanukah party, that he has visited numerous mosdos worldwide over the years as a public speaker, but never has he encountered a person such as Rabbi Horowitz or a mosad such as Bonim LaMokom. Rabbi Krohn spent several hours visiting the yeshivah, watching it in action, and he was given sample learning booklets to take home. He was blown away by all that he observed.
Every single one of the more than 70 students with Down syndrome at YBL has his learning customized according to his level of understanding. There are English-speaking classes and Yiddish-speaking classes, with staff that adapts in every and all ways to the students’ myriad needs.
