The Following is VIA OnlySimchas.com
The Lakewood Cheder and Bais Faiga Executive Director, Rabbi Yosef Posen, recently sent out a letter to all faculty and staff members to let them know that the school has bought them each a lottery ticket.
The Powerball is currently at an estimated jackpot of $1.5 billion, hence the increased attention to the lottery and the resurgence of people buying tickets who normally wouldn’t.

4 Shevat 5776,
January 13, 2016
To the 477 Faculty and Staff Members of the Lakewood Cheder and Bais Faiga:
The ???? of a ????, and especially a ???? of ?????? ????? ???? ???? and their ??????, cannot be understated. As a person never knows hoe ???“? sends ??????, we have decided to purchase a lottery ticket for each member of the ???? as a group, to be shared by every Cheder and Bais Faiga faculty and staff member, with an additional share going to the Cheder itself. ???? ????? ?????, and this is simply ??????? on the Cheder’s part for our devoted employees.
Sincerely,
Rabbi Yosef Posen
Executive Director
PS: I have sent a copy of the tickets and their numbers to each school office.

It’s interesting that the date on the letter is a little off.The year is 5766 and the date says Daled shvat which is tomorrow. …
hishtadlus? are you serious?
It’s a good thing they didn’t win or the school would have had no faculty left the next day.
