Rabbi Pesach Raymon Yeshiva welcomed back its students with open (and socially distant) arms last week! With so many students in the building, and a few joining remotely, the positive energy was palpable. Students were happy, learning and socializing. They met new classmates, renewed friendships, spent more time outdoors and had the proper time to adjust to all the new expectations. Some of the changes the school has implemented due to COVID-19 are foot operated faucets, outdoor classes and hand sanitizer stations outside each classroom. And the students are thriving! The reopening of the RPRY school building was the result of thousands of hours of work on the part of many people. The school would like to extend a huge hakarat hatov to their dedicated and enthusiastic faculty and staff, Medical Advisory Committee, Reopening Committee and subcommittees and the RPRY administrative team as well as the entire RPRY community for their dedication to making this return a success.
