Hi all, It is hoped that classes in Israel and elsewhere can spend some time writing letters in Hebrew or English to students on the East Coast going through difficult times; Here are some NY destinations. Please spread the word!

Snail mail would probably be the easiest for the schools/shuls to handle. HALB: Best if letters would be split between the Young Israel of Lawrence, where grades 6 through 8 are located now, and the girls' high school, which is the only division functioning in its own building. Indicate in a cover letter which grades the enclosed letters are for. HALB has separate classes (boys/girls) for all grades. Girlsâ high school: SKA 291 Meadowview Ave Hewlett Bay Park, NY 11557 Grades 6 through 8 are in the Young Israel now, and the younger grades are in a large neighborhood public school; someone at the Young Israel can get the letters over to the younger grades. In addition, letters can be sent to the shul to distribute to kids in the neighborhood who are not necessarily from HALB.
