Keep the pressure on us” and “the personal touch makes all the difference” were the comments the OU Advocacy-Teach NYS delegation from the Five Towns heard consistently from New York State legislators during their advocacy mission to Albany for Jewish day school education this week.
OU Advocacy-Teach NYS launched its series of mini advocacy missions to Albany with the delegation from the Five Towns.
