Senator Felcher took the 8th and 9th grade boys on a tour around various areas such as the Capitol’s museum, the Senate and Executive Chambers, the Hall of Governors and the Flag room.
The students also posed for a picture with the senator on the Million Dollar Staircase – a famous staircase made up of 444 steps.
The students were also educated in government processes as part of the tour and learned about the legislative process and how bills become laws, and had the opportunity to meet a few of the senator’s government colleagues.
“I was absolutely delighted to host the students from Bobover Yeshiva Bnei Zion,” said Senator Felder, who serves as Chair of both the New York City Education Subcommittee and the Children and Families Committee.
“This field trip gave these kids an opportunity they otherwise would not have had and a new appreciation for how their State government works to make a difference in their daily lives,” added Senator Felder.

Thank you Rebbeim for taking the time for this outing and thank you Mr. Felder.
Is it true that the bobov place strong emphasis on secular studies, unlike most other chasidish yeshivahs in bp?
This is such a nice thing. All schools should do this. (one at a time of course).
