i, too was in hili back in ’61–i was in the other class so i never had the benefit of his chinuch but i will always remember him during recess always interacting and playing with ALL kids in the yard–he taught me how to swing upside down on the seesaw pole, among other things–i didn’t really know his children but frumie was in my class in 2nd grade(i still have the class picture)—i would concur with the person who commented on hili’s “open” policy–we had all kinds of kids in my class and we never gave much thought to who’s frummer than whom.

The first maspid was HaRav Avrohom Teichman, Shlita, the Rav of Agudas Yisroel of LA. The second maspid was HaRav Hillel Mandel, Shlita, a son of the niftar, Menahel of Torah Academy of Boston.

I was also in Rabbi Mandel’s class (or Rebbe as we called him even in a girl’s school) about 30 years ago. I learned to read in Rebbe’s class and still use his technique with my own children. I remember those stars. Our “five stars” were on a red background and I earned one by memorizing all the parshios. I don’t have my siddur anymore but I do have a bencher that has my name that I received for doing Rebbe’s summer homework! I used to go sit next to him in shul on Shabbos (Yes he let a girl sit next to him!) and He always told us to follow in the chumash with our finger on the place. I still do this today. When I went to visit him about 12 years ago, He not only remembered me, He also remembered my parents by name and some of my siblings too! He had a very positive influence on me!(and I came from a very frum home!) He was a very special person who will be sorely missed! May He be a Melitz Yosher for his whole family and for Gantz Klal Yisroel!
