Jewish day schools and yeshivas remain open as NYC public schools close As New York City’s COVID test positivity rate hit 3%, public schools are set to close but Jewish day schools and yeshivas will remain open.
Jewish day schools open for the year with new safety precautions and plans for possible closures “No one knows what tomorrow’s going to bring,” one day school administrator said. “But we are very grateful to be open in person now.”
Marvin Schick, longtime advocate for Jewish day schools, dies at 85 Schick conducted a number of comprehensive studies of day schools on behalf of the Avi Chai Foundation, most recently in 2014.
