Because He Cared - The Life and Impact of Rabbi Moshe Neuman

The Life and Impact of Rabbi Moshe Neuman, Beloved Principal of Bais Yaakov of Queens While still very young, Rabbi Moshe Neuman became the menahel of Bais Yaakov of Queens. He started with 27 girls in something that could hardly be called a school building. In his fifty years of leadership, as the school grew and grew and grew, thousands of girls received his chinuch -- and his caring. Caring? This menahel would bend over to tie a preschooler’s shoes. He’d discreetly help an impoverished seventh-grader with funds to buy a dress for yom tov, and give a surly sixth-grader a bowl of cereal when he learned she’d skipped breakfast. Discipline when needed? Absolutely. Leadership when necessary? For sure. But firmness was always coupled with love and respect for parents, teachers and, above all, students. Because He Cared is the story of a wealthy and privileged child in Germany ... who became a young and impoverished refugee in America ... who became a champion stickball player morphing into a masmid ... who did NOT become the tax lawyer he’d envisioned, instead dedicating his life to teaching Jewish children. Beautifully told by master storyteller Rabbi Yechiel Spero, this is the story – these are the countless stories – of the greatness that happens when someone really, truly cares.
