ASHAR Day School Cancels Classes Until After Pesach

by Monsey.info

The Ashar Adolph Schreiber Hebrew Academy Of Rockland, commonly known as ASHAR, has canceled classes until after Pesach.

The cancellation comes as Rockland County sees the number of confirmed Coronavirus cases climb.

The school notified the parents with an emailed message, where they noted that “…things are moving rapidly, and thus we are making the difficult decision to close ASHAR until after Pesach.”

The best defense against the virus continues to be simple hand washing with soap, according to the CDC. Simple home hand sanitizer is also effective in killing the virus.

Those at highest risk are the elderly and those with preexisting medical conditions, while the young and healthy are at very low risk of the virus, mostly showing only minimal symptoms before returning to normal health.
