Hikind commends students’ effort on geography projects
Assemblymember Dov Hikind (D-Brooklyn) visited with hundreds of students and educators from the Mevakshai Hashem yeshiva in Brooklyn Tuesday afternoon to view the students’ completed geography projects. Educators and principals in attendance included Rabbi Yitzchok Gluck, Fishel Schechter and Yehuda Gartenhaus.
With each class collaborating on a project of their own, the students made colorful 3-D projects of individual states, along with key historical information pertaining to that state. Hikind toured the school and observed the projects, commending the students’ efforts and hard work.
“First and foremost, I want to thank the Rabbeim, educators and principals for having the patience, dedication and devotion, because [the students] are the future,” said Hikind. “I have the utmost respect for the educators because they have one of the most difficult jobs, and also the most loving and rewarding job.”

While Brooklyn has become the epitome of ‘cool and hip’ in recent years, for those that were born here, raised families here and improved communities over the years, Brooklyn has never been ‘uncool’.
