“It’s our honor to have you aboard”

United Lubavitch Yeshiva of Ocean Parkway participated in Fleet week’s Tallship OP-Sail, Students in grades 3rd-8th got exclusive tours to both French ETOILE & BELLE POULE and Mexican CUAUHTEMOC all military training vessels.

The tour had to be cut short due to inclement weather, but not before each crew member and guide exclaimed how enjoyable and respectful the Talmidim were.

While aboard the Mexican military ship, cadets asked “What are you?” when the students responded “We are Jewish” the faces of the cadets lit up saying “We have learned and read so much about you but never met someone Jewish in person, it’s our honor and pleasure to have you aboard”
