The Rochelle Gemal A”H Educational Center would like to share a few messages that they received from their tutors.
“I’ve been working in collaboration with the RG Education Fund and get to see firsthand what a powerful impact they have for children in need of extra educational support. They make it possible to open windows of opportunity and access. Their motives are inspiring and the difference that is made because of the fund is invaluable.”
“Hi! I just wanted to let you know how the children I’ve been working with are doing. Especially their [a certain family’s] daughter. After break, I started informal assessments to track progress over the past year and she has made great, great strides! We will be continuing to get her through to the end of the program but, BH, to see such improvement with a student with her challenges is truly incredible. Thank you for making this journey possible. The difference this is making for her is invaluable.”

Councilwoman Inna Vernikov Introduces Resolution in Support of Statewide Mask Ban
Last month, Councilwoman Inna Vernikov introduced the Unmask the Hate resolution, calling upon on the New York State Legislature to pass and the governor to sign S.9867/A.10057 (Skoufis/Dinowitz), which would make it UNLAWFUL for one to conceal their identity [such as by wearing a mask] while participating in a lawful or unlawful assembly or riot. Criminals and bad actors have taken advantage of outdated COVID-era mask policies to protect themselves while participating in hateful acts and causing violence on the streets of New York City, especially in the wake of the October 7th attacks on the State of Israel that caused an explosion of anti-American and Anti-Semitic protests and riots. Similar laws were passed around the country in the 1950s to combat the rise of the Klu Klux Klan, and more recently a ban was made law in Nassau County – just outside of New York City – with great success.
“We’re facing an intense uptick in criminality coupled with anti-American and anti-Semitic hatred in New York City, and these sick individuals are emboldened by their anonymity to the point of openly spewing hatred and acting violently without worry of any consequences. We can no longer afford to allow those engaging in this behavior to protect themselves behind masks and face coverings,” said Councilwoman Inna Vernikov. “At every level of government, we should be doing everything we can to assist law enforcement in catching criminals. This legislation is bipartisan in nature, and I strongly urge my City Council colleagues – particularly those with Jewish constituencies who are feeling unheard and fearful – to pass this resolution and to strongly support the statewide legislation. We have to bring safety back to our streets. Unmask the Criminals – Unmask the Hate!”
