No more stuff with the bus driver. Uh bag door. Do you want to put your bus driver the money through? Do you want to put your safety belt kids with a bag? We come here through. We come here through. This is in the money through. Unbelievable. Look what this guy can do. Amazing. Look what in the bus driver can do. Wow. I got out. Look what this guy can do. What we only elephant is not the bus. I'm a hot mess. No no no bag door. Look what this guy can do. The bus is pulling in over here. I'm going to give our day driver the money through. Let me put my bag. Put the money through. Who's that the bus administrator of Bais David? Where How many How many buses do you have in the road over here? 13 buses? 13 buses. 13 buses here. Basically, we have the dismissal that runs over here. You see all the different colors? All the children line up. All the all the colors. Oh, wow. child goes to his color and every bus line gets walked with a rebbe or a teacher front and back of the line. They walk to the buses. The buses are basically >> in a round circle. >> around a circle here. Every rebbe walks with his students. >> So, there's no such thing as a kid running to the bus. >> There's no such a thing as a kid running to the bus. There's no such a thing as a kid being on the driveway without a teacher or rebbe. They stay on the play area. The driveway gets sealed shut. >> So, all the buses here line up now. >> line up around, basically around the whole circle. And all the kids would come with the rebbe, with the teacher going on to the buses. >> On the sidewalk on to the buses. And over here we don't have enough in the circle. We do have people coming, buses coming over here. We have a crosswalk over here which we made on the driveway. And again, this is something that we took a long time to implement. But baruch Hashem, I can say that in these days it's a very, very mesivta d'Rabbanan dismissal. I learned a lot. We drove around, looked around, how other people do it. And we are basically taking the good from everybody. And we put together a dismissal system which baruch Hashem after many years >> the buses are now lining up over here. >> That's correct. The buses are lining up. They're getting ready for dismissal shortly. >> How many kids are going to the bus now? 200 kids? >> We have now close to 500 kids going on to the bus. >> And no kid goes unattended. >> No kid goes unattended. All the kids come down the yeshiva, come down the steps, walk across on the crosswalk, on to the lineup. And >> that lineup they're going to their colored bus. >> From the lineup they go to their colored bus. >> bunch of guys, 500 kids running to get to yeshiva now. >> There's no such a thing as a kid going to the bus. Now, if there's a kid that does not walk in the line and he was for holim, though he was playing or he did something else, there is no such a thing as him going to the bus. He has to go to the office and get picked up. There's nothing wrong. There's nothing wrong. >> on the bus that day. >> go on the bus. Why? Because once the bus door closes means that there is no running or catching the bus. >> So, if you missed your line going to the bus, you're not going to bus that day. >> That's correct. >> Unless I mean the tragedy in in the one of the moistures happened from kids chasing the bus. >> That's correct. That's correct. And I once saw many, many years ago over here. And this is what really got us to initiate some things in regarding to the When I saw when I saw a child running after a bus, it was a first grader going back about 7 or 8 years ago. It was a first grader that was running after a bus. He didn't mean bad. He just didn't know where his bus was. And that's when I said something has to be done. I'm not going to wait for something to happen and then turn over the world. I'd rather turn over the world before something happens and prevent something from happening. So, >> So, because of all of this Monsey took together as a whole of all of them and the COC and decided that we're going to launch it together this new initiative. >> That's correct. It's basically a joint effort between all different parts of our community, Hatzolah, Chaverim, community outreach and all the moistures, which represent tens of thousands of children here in Monsey. >> What do you say to that Mahalak if the symbol that the driver has to give the child before the kid comes over the sidewalk? >> Well, that's a It's number one, it's a univer It's called a universal signal. This goes on in entire New York State. I'm not even sure, maybe in entire America. But, this is a universal symbol which basically tells the driver tells the child, I see you >> and you see me. >> Exactly. >> So, there's no such thing as a mistake. When a kid runs after a bus, what happens is he didn't see the driver or the driver didn't see him and then chas v'shalom a tragedy happens. So, we have to do again, nobody's guaranteed, but we have to do everything we could to prevent something like this from happening. And the second thing is And the second thing is regarding the running after, the way that the kids understand and know that there's no such thing as running after a bus is when they know that the driver is not going to open the door. >> So there's no one to run after the bus. >> There's no reason. Why am I going to run after the bus? I know the driver is anyways not going to open the door for me. And this is in Yeshiva or even by his house in the morning. If a kid is in the middle of getting dressed or something and he starts running after the bus, no, it doesn't happen >> Not letting him >> anymore because the driver and the driver is not a bad person. The driver is actually following the rules and he cares about every single child and with Hashem they will show everyone right that this is what should continue in from a long time to come. >> And we need the parents not to be on board that when the kid stays home that day because he couldn't make the bus cuz they don't want to chase the bus, the parents should be in it as well. Yeah, you're going to stay home today and learn your lesson. >> Or if they stay home, the parent is going to take the kid to Yeshiva, but he's going to know that next time the kid will be ready and the driver is not a bad person for doing this. >> No, the no no, we both we in this campaign we're giving out to all the drivers nice Shabbos packages to show them. Drivers, we're here for you, with you. You guys are here to show and you keep on doing the good job. That's right. That that >> We're partners in this. I mean it's a really a joint effort of the Yeshivas, the administration, the bus drivers, the bus manager, the children, the parents, the Rabbis. Everybody has a part in this campaign because everybody is needed for this campaign to succeed. >> And and we're going to do our share. Hashem is going to help us. >> And Hashem will help everyone in the Yeshiva of Israel. It's nobody's guaranteed, but we always know we have to do our start list. >> Thank you administrator of Tolchik and thank you Monsey. Thank you everybody who's been part of this initiative. Kol tuv. >> Here we have Rabbi Shane, which is a bus driver boss for a number of years with Hashem. >> First of all, Rabbi Shane, I want to give you this bag. This is a Manhigut Show bag.

Now they're all about Yisroel. Manhigey Yisroel. >> Uh listen, you know, I remember when I was still living in Boro Park, I remember I had a bus driver and he used to say always, "There is a coil the whole day, but it start off the morning every single morning with two bus routes to take kids to yeshiva." And I want to start my day off driving kids to yeshiva. >> That's unbelievable. >> We have over here the bus manager. We have Sruly Schwartz, which put in a lot a lot of koachus to get this working and to make this a big big success. It takes a lot of time, a lot of effort, and a lot of focus on making sure this works because like I said before, this involves so many different departments, so many different people, and we have over here Sruly. We look at the stuff of the initiative of Sruly. >> We look at the stuff of the We look at the stuff of the bags and all the stuff of the koachus of the Manhigey Yisroel.
