Dear Governor Cuomo,
The education of New York’s children is essential, and our school system must be included in Phase 1 of New York’s reopening plan. All our school children are struggling, but none more so than special needs students, who have now been without necessary services for months. Special needs students are bearing the greatest burden for school closures with catastrophic, life-altering repercussions. As New York begins to re-open under the appropriate CDC and DOH safety guidelines, schools, including non-public schools, must be a priority. Education cannot and should not be delayed until Phase 4.

NEW! SHAVUOS GETAWAY at The Lakewood Residence


[COMMUNICATED]
Despite the challenges inherent to the current situation, the hanhala is moving forward on a vital mission to improve the yeshiva experience for our bochurim.
World news is moving in a more positive direction and Ohr Naftoli is performing important upgrades to make our Makom Torah ready for our talmidim to return.  
In light of current circumstances, we are unable to hold our annual dinner this year. Our capital Improvement Project will serve as our annual fundraiser.
The success of our online campaign can only be achieved when we join together. 
We have our eye on the future, anticipating the next z’man and beyond.
The yeshiva has launched an initiative to perform much needed renovations to the classrooms and dormitory.

New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo said New York followed the president’s agency guidance.

A renowned epidemiologist told the “The Ingraham Angle” that a video he posted on YouTube questioning the effectiveness of widespread lockdowns amid the coronavirus pandemic was removed for violating “community standards,” Fox News reports.
Host Laura Ingraham noted that his video was viewed nearly 1.5 million times and asked Dr. Knut Wittkowski why he thinks “there is so much pushback to your line of thinking?”

Bochurim and yungeleit from chutz laaretz will be allowed to return to their yeshivos in Eretz Yisroel as long as their yeshiva can confirm that they have a place to quarantine, as per an arrangement orchestrated by Interior Minister Aryeh Deri.
Each respective rosh yeshiva or rosh hamosad must submit the request for each non-Israeli talmid to the Interior Ministry, which will then review it and grant permission, requiring for each bochur to find private quarters, without roommates, as well as for the institutions to provide full meals for their students.
