The Julia Cohen Boulevard offers beautiful welcome to LEC. Hundreds gathered at LEC on Lag B’Omer to formally dedicate the street in front of the school building. Now named the Julia Cohen Boulevard, it honors the memory of the mother of one of the school’s prominent benefactors, Mr. Sonny Kahn. Rabbis Abraham and Benjy Korf and Mr. Russel Galbut, offered words of praise and gratitude to the Kahns. The dedication was followed by a program on LEC’s sports field, joined by the students from the Hebrew Academy of Margate. Entertainment by acrobats, the LEC boys choir, raffles, and reciting the 12 pesukim ensured that everyone had a great time. At the finale hundreds of colorful balloons were released into the air, and everyone enjoyed a BBQ lunch. |

Game attendees shout "Shabbos Rocks" when Goodman refuses to be interviewed with a microphone on Shabbos. "Always feel pride and confidence in displaying your Judaism,” said Tamir Goodman as he spoke at a special assembly to the Elementary School boys. Goodman, who gained national recognition and the nickname the “Jewish Jordan” while starring at Baltimore’s Talmudic Academy, says his message goes beyond basketball. He believes he was blessed with his skills on the court to better the world. One way of doing that was his steadfast commitment to keeping Shabbos—no matter what—and always playing with his yarmulka clipped to his head. Not only were his words inspiring, but he generously agreed to pose with all the classes and sign autographs before leaving. |

Students joined chassidim around the world to honor the day when the Rebbe became Rebbe. The day started with boys in grades 4-6 davening with a recording of the Rebbe from Yud Shevat. The assembly then sang the "Ma'amor Nigun," and boys who had prepared the famous chassidic discourse "Basi L'gani," took turns reciting portions of it. A special address by shliach Rabbi Yitzy Hecht of Kingston, NY, who spoke movingly of growing up in Crown Heights with the Rebbe, was followed by a Chinese auction for the winners of the Tzivos Hashem competition and class farbrengens. The highlight was a world-wide telephone hook-up with 10,000 children, at which 4th graders Mendel Mann recited one of the 12 pesukim and the gifted Yisroel Amar sang "Yehi Ratzon." |

Group of Chabad Rabbis Visits Historical Towns in Ukraine It was truly an eye-opening presentation, when Rabbi Pinny Andrusier, Shliach of Chabad of Cooper City, described his recent visit to the gravesites of the Chabad rebbeim in the former Soviet Union. A slide show presentation gave real life meaning to the special stories he told of his travels. Even more impressive was how the group prepared themselves spiritually for their visit to the holy sites, and the personal commitments they made while there. Rabbi Andrusier addressed the elementary school boys in honor of Chof Cheshvan, the birthday of the Rebbe Rashab. |
