Pele Yoetz Center’s Chinuch Department has assumed a place of honor in the world of charedi chinuch, becoming an important resource for mechanchim and parents. Many rebbeim and maggidei shiurim, school administrators and teachers in boys’ and girls’ schools are in frequent contact with Pele Yoetz regarding improving formal and informal instruction and reinforcing the academic and spiritual levels of their institutions and students.
Over the years, the Chinuch Department has become the go-to address for many serious chinuch issues plaguing the charedi sector, and it is here that these issues are reviewed, deliberated and successfully and responsibly resolved using a professional approach and daas Torah.
Rabbi Shimon Rechtshafer, a director at Pele Yoetz Center, expresses that “The work here in the Center’s Chinuch Department is year-round. When challenges strike our community, it can become round the clock, which is what happened during the panic that ensued following the outbreak of Covid and last year’s heartbreaking tragedy in Meron.
“During events like these, which call for a clear, consistent chinuch approach that follows our sacred mesorah, Pele Yoetz’s Rabbanim stand at the forefront of the community and are there to provide our children and adults with a pure chinuch perspective that accounts for the realities of life.
“During the first wave of Covid, which brought the world to an utter standstill and transformed life as we knew it, it was Pele Yoetz’s Chinuch Department that immediately arranged to broadcast shiurim and ran a free chinuch hotline that invited parents and chinuch professionals to receive clear answers and advice regarding virtually any topic related to education. The satisfaction we felt upon seeing how much relief and shalom the hotline brought to Jewish homes is truly indescribable.”
It’s no surprise that when ruling on matters related to public chinuch, Gedolei Yisrael shlit”a consult with Pele Yoetz to receive their professional opinion and hear what their modus operandi is regarding the issue before delivering their verdict as daas Torah.
As one chinuch professional so aptly expressed: “If a school is the place to go for a talmid or talmidah, Pele Yoetz’s Chinuch Department is the place where the schools go!”
