Since we recently read "My name is Asher Lev," I thought I'd share this interesting story from the NY Times about a Hasidic Jew becoming the principle of a failing school in the Bronx.
Talk about a tough job! Here is the link.
I'd love to hear your thoughts.

I love this story and I pray he continues to succeed, I think the world could use more principals like him. what an intersting article, thanks Melissa
I'm glad you enjoyed it, too. It's so great that he doesn't listen when people tell him "no, that's not the way its done." great example!
I really liked that article. An outsider is sometimes the most effective way to reach other outsiders. And I disagree with that one person who complained about him giving out a book instead of a math workbook. Instill some self respect will make the math workbook worth it. Just my 2 cents.
That was wonderful. It shows you that one person really can make a difference!
