Nation Of Islam Children Attend Jewish Charter School In Brooklyn

HEBREW-articleLarge

From The New York Times

Walking along Flatbush Avenue in Brooklyn, they make out the lettering on kosher food shops and yeshiva buses, showing off all they learn at the Hebrew Language Academy Charter School in Midwood, where they both attend kindergarten.

Aalim and Aalima are not Jewish. They worship at a mosque affiliated with the Nation of Islam. But at the Hebrew Language Academy, they fit right in.

But as the school’s first year draws to a close, its classrooms are filled with a broad range of students, all seeming confident enough to jabber away as if they were elbowing their way down Ben Yehuda Street in Jerusalem. Perhaps surprisingly, the school has become one of the most racially mixed charter schools in the city. About a third of the 150 students are black, and several are Hispanic.

    I think more non-Jewish people need to attend these jewish schools. I see a lot of orthodoxed jews in Catholic schools, all the time, so what’s good for the goose is good for the gander. People should attend these jewish schools, because legally you can, unless it’s private.

    That’s a good story. Jews and Blacks have a lot in common. Even if people on both sides of the aisle try to reject and ignore that.
