WESLEY HILLS - A group of boys and teachers from a local Orthodox Jewish day school gathered yesterday for a prayer service in the Lime Kiln Elementary School cafeteria.
On Feb. 12, a blaze tore through the gym and synagogue of the Adolph Schreiber Hebrew Academy of Rockland, destroying part of the building and leaving a stench of smoke throughout it.
While the building is being cleaned, East Ramapo's administrators offered ASHAR space at Lime Kiln, just up the road from the school, all this week during February vacation.
"Any opportunity that we have to settle things, ease problems, ease pain, reach out, that's the most gratifying thing in life and we work very hard at that in East Ramapo," Schools Superintendent Mitchell Schwartz said.
So while Lime Kiln's students were enjoying their break, ASHAR's staff and 350 students found a temporary home
