This past week RYNJ students had the privilege of having a visit from a special guest, Rabbi Menachem Genack. Rabbi Genack is not only Tani Genack’s grandfather, but is also the rav of Shomrei Emunah in Englewood and the CEO of OU Kosher. Rabbi Genack came to speak to the students of 2B about Abraham Lincoln. Rabbi Genack has studied the life of Abraham Lincoln and explained how he became such an important president.

Rabbi Genack showed the class a letter that was signed by Abraham Lincoln himself and an original picture of President Lincoln with his cabinet. All the RYNJ students had prepared interview cards and each child was able to ask a question. They were amazed by all that Abraham Lincoln did in his life and enjoyed the opportunity to meet Rabbi Genack.
