What people get wrong about Catholic schools

Turns out, a lot of what we hear about Catholic schools just isn’t true. For starters, teachers at St. Joseph School-Fullerton are not only certified but many hold advanced degrees, and the school’s been named a Top Workplace by The Baltimore Sun for nine years running. Academics? SJS-Fullerton students consistently outperform peers, with a 100% high school acceptance rate and $1.7 million in scholarships for the Class of 2025. And you don’t have to be Catholic to attend—families from all backgrounds are welcome. If you’re thinking about a new school for your child, maybe it’s time to look past the rumors and see what’s really happening inside these classrooms. #Religion #CatholicSchools #EducationMyths

Folks from all walks of life lined up to grab discounted seforim—especially the Alter Rebbe’s works—right in their own neighborhoods. The shelves emptied fast, showing just how much these teachings mean to the community. This mobile bookstore, organized by Ohr HaChassidus, is making it easier than ever for people to access chassidus, sparking new conversations and connections. How do you think bringing seforim directly to the streets impacts Jewish learning and unity? #Religion #Chassidus #JewishCommunity

Thursday night learning brings Shabbos clarity

Thursday nights in Crown Heights just got a lot more meaningful for anyone wanting to really understand the ins and outs of Shabbos. Rabbi Mendy Shneur’s new shiur at The New Beis Medrash dives into those everyday questions we all have—like what’s actually allowed when reheating food, or carrying packages in apartment buildings. It’s all about practical Halacha, explained in a way that connects to real life. The vibe is warm, focused, and open to anyone looking for serious learning in a flexible setting. Who else thinks this could spark some great community conversations? #Religion #CrownHeights #Shabbos
