In accordance with the Rebbe’s clear directive, Ohr Menachem of Crown Heights held its first day of Cheder on 4 Elul. Following the joint “Prep & Training Day” on 3 Elul, teachers put their learning into practice the very next day, even as many camps are still in session.
Wednesday, Daled Elul, was a hot, rainy day in Crown Heights. Yet, on the streets of Crown Heights, one might have noticed a curious scene: children were wearing regular button-down dress shirts. Was that a new camp uniform?
The explanation was far simpler: the Rebbe wishes for Chadorim to open at the onset of Chodesh Elul!
After the talmidim had a chance to catch up on their summer experiences, they were welcomed by the Cheder’s Hanhala: Rabbi Zalman Goldsteinand Rabbi Yossef Overlander.
They were introduced to their new melamdim by the Menahel, Rabbi Mendel Yusewitz. At the end of the day, every melamed gave his talmidim a special treat – a taste of Torah’s sweetness. The sweet sounds of Torah and Avodah from the “front liners” bringing Moshiach once again rang through the hallways of Cheder.
The Rebbe’s Words:

מובן ופשוט אשר אין זה מספיק להכין תלמידים-ות אפילו במקצת לימי הסליחות והענינים דחודש תשרי, ולכן בודאי שבכל בתי הספר יתחילו הלימודים קודם לזה ומה טוב בתחילת חודש הרחמים הוא חודש אלול -אגרות קודש חי”א עמ’ שלא
