Operation Understanding�s mission is to build a generation of African American and Jewish community leaders who promote respect, understanding and cooperation while working to eradicate racism, anti-Semitism, and all forms of discrimination. So when the ensemble of college-age, young adults hailing from Washington, DC, decided to visit Boro Park, Senator Simcha Felder�s staffers Judah Wohlgelernter and Herzka Grunfeld (pictured with the students) gave them the grand tour along with a greater understanding of what Boro Park is all about.

�Operation Understanding is doing important work and I�m happy that they include Boro Park each year in their quest for knowledge of diversity,� says Senator Felder. �This is a delightful group of open-minded young people eager to learn and we explained the unique identity of the Boro Park neighborhood, how Orthodox businesses work, and how the community works with government toward everyone�s mutual benefit.�
