Pupa School to cheer the marathoners when they come through
People like Rabbi Joseph Weber in Williamsburg, Brooklyn, are providing other kinds of support. Because Sunday is a school day at Yeshiva Kehilath Yakov, where he is a director, the rabbi had to smooth over concerns in the largely Hasidic Jewish community about the intrusion of secular activities. Students will be released from classes long enough to cheer the marathoners when they come through.
''I don't know if there are any Hasidic runners -- though there might be -- but we applaud all of them,'' Weber said. http://www.bloomberg.com/apps/news?pid=20601103&sid=akNhJ4f3h3Tg&refer=us
