“If we really would like see schoolwide change and professionalism in the teaching field, schools need to incentivize and reward those who do a better job”
Thank you for the beautiful tribute to Yankie Meyer a”h. Mr. Meyer, a.k.a. “Jack,” was a household name in my parents’ home.
My father, Mr. Chaim Schoenblum, was a member of the chevra kaddisha of Boro Park. Together with Rabbi Shulem Mermelstein, they took care of hundreds of niftarim. Many times there were complications with releasing the body, medical examiners, and the like. Yankie Meyer was always there.
He became a close friend of my father and at one point even offered him the reins of Misaskim. As I visited my father the day before Mr. Meyer’s petirah, I could see the pain in my father’s eyes as he spoke about him. We will all miss this giant of chesed.
Yehi zichro baruch.

I found your article “Changing of the Guard” on the late Queen Elizabeth II most interesting and informative. In it you mentioned the prayer recited in the shuls for the monarchy.
