I attended the United Hebrew School next door to the Bnai Moshe. Mr. Lockover was the school's principal. I remember studying my haftorah with Mr. Shector. The bus picked me up every day except fri from Roosevelt elem. school on the corner of Linwood and Burlingame and delivered meto the hebrew school. This process began for me at age nine and continued until I was 13 yrs. old. Four years four days a week and summer hebrew school to get ready for my bar mitzvah. I think the kids of today have it a lot easier. I use to love the choclate milk and the tam tam crackers they gave us. Don't forget the sour pickles you could buy for 5 cents from the market directly across the street from the UHS. I am glad my mom made me go to hebrew school. I am glad I had a bar mitzvah. It gave me a feeling for being jewish and taught me the wonderful culture of being jewish.I look back at all this with fond and thankful memories.

Bnai Moshe was my shul also. My father came from the Garfield shul. I remember going to Central Hish for hebrew after school until the school wing was built. Then we had 4;00 and 5:30 shifts. The bus pickups began at the corner of Linwood and Elmhurst and shifted to in front of Roosevelt. The steps leading up to the shul were incredibly long then, but now they are very short. My teachers were Mrt. Schecter, and Mr Mathis. We controlled the pre bar-mitzvah sessions On Shabbos in the Ressman Hall and had post bar-mitzvah sessions in the small chapedl behind the main sanctuary. Wold love the hear from some of my old friends. Have already met Rabbi Joel Roth and am friends with Mark Eichner. Cal Weiss died in a few weeks ago. But if anyone reads this, please contact me.

I went to Hebrew School at B'Nai Moshe in the mid 50s. Morris Lachover was head of school; Abraham Shechter was my teacher and maftir coach. We used the big shul to practice. I, too, remember buying pickles and 7-layer cake from the store across the street. It was walking distance to my house although we all took the bus. My heart aches for what has happened to the city.
