The practitioners of the religious teachings of the Jewish religion believe in the spiritual uplifting by living for others and helping the needy. With the sacred guidance of the doctrines of Torah and Talmud, a teacher or rabbi guides his students into the path of righteousness and well-being. In the locality of New Haven, Connecticut, such a great teacher resides in the earthly form of Rabbi Daniel Greer. With an education in the best-quality schools like Yale and Princeton, the rabbi strives to imprint the same excellence and quality of education into his students. Along with the study of the traditional Jewish scriptures, the school also teaches general studies in its curriculum.
Saving a desolate land
The school founded by Rabbi Daniel Greer in 1977 had to relocate in a new address after its inception. The new location was an office building which was vast and sat on a huge expanse of land, but the entire property was covered with uneven and cracked asphalt. There was a presence of vintage equipment which was used in the playgrounds of the 1950’s, but that’s about it. The total expanse of land was a barren field of concrete and rubble. However, the sight of this forest of concrete wasn’t off-putting for the senior rabbi. With a smile on his face, he transformed the grey expanse of asphalt into a calming and serene landscape.
Turning the negative into positive
The relocation of the school into a “concrete forest” could be perceived as negative by the general people. With the appropriate guidance from the rabbi, the students and helpers turned it into a positive event.
