FLATBUSH — There has been a lot of buzz lately about Rebbe and teacher salaries being not sufficient. Well one donor decided to take matters into his own hands.
In an extraordinary and inspiring act of generosity, one prominent businessman from Flatbush donated more than $300,000 to Masores Bais Yaakov in Flatbush, which his daughter attends. The moeny is to be used to give bonuses to the teachers ahead of Yom Tov.
The man explained that Rebbeim and teachers are probably getting hurt the most as there has not been a major increase in their salaries despite the skyrocketing inflation we are seeing lately.
While the man insisted on remaining anonymous, he allowed his story to be published.
Below is a letter he wrote to the teachers.
If you ever wondered if you made a difference in the lives of your students, the answer is absolutely YES!!
THANK YOU for all your hard work and dedication.
THANK YOU for doing the very best for each of your students.
THANK YOU for all the time and effort you put into your students at home.
THANK YOU for teaching your subject matter so well and even more important…
THANK YOU for imparting beautiful values and being a proper role model for Middos Tovos and proper Hashkafa.
THANK YOU for taking each student as far as she can go academically, socially and Hashkafically – both as an individual and as a Bas Yisroel.
With deep heartfelt Hakoras Hatov,
A Grateful Parent
