I would love to hear how the cheider runs , what's the hashkafa wise? And are English/ yiddish speaking together ? Not that it bothers me just asking . Does anyone send their and is happy ? Does it run like all the other established places? Feedback please appreciated.

I thought there's a new cheder that doesn't allow mothers to wax their eyebrows.

It's in a house all ages together. Mostly very very frum crowd. It's not run like a cheder at all.

Is this a joke? What is the issue with waxing? Is it some special minhag or mitzva to have a unibrow?

WHAT is an anti-waxing cheder? Does that mean that the mothers have to sign that they won't wax their eyebrows or upper lip?

We can assume she means anti vax.

No, it's not your eyebrows, it's down there!
How would they know? I hope the rabbi doesn't check!

Ok, so not appropriate for 9av, could not help myself.

Seriously though, is there really a cheder that is known as THE anti vaxx cheder? With the number of chassidim who are anti-vaxx, I would think there would be schools that are open to anti-vaxxers.

It's actually quite a minority that are anti vaxxers, they just make alot of noise. The cheder is basically just kids in a house with 1 or 2 melamdim for all ages. The school is in a shul, a bit more organized but not run like a school at all.

I thought it really was "down there." As in the cheder didn't wax their floors, so kids didn't slip.

Please don’t stereotype.
I’m part of the chassidish community of Monsey and most people do vaccinate. The anti vax crowd is very vocal and very defensive about their cause.

I know someone who sends there.

It’s an excellent well run cheder.

They have nice size classes, around 20.

They were in basements straight through corona. They have a regular building.

I hear the are many vaccinated kids asking to come next year.

They run a wholesome program. Excellent warm caring staff.

They have no govt funding. They even lowered their tuition price a few month after starting, because they were able to cover costs with less!
