LEFT: Levi and Moshe must
cross busy Northwestern
Highway a few times on
their way to visit regulars
on their route. BELOW:
Some of the Friday Boys,
including Levi and Moshe,
share a quick ride in a
small bus to their routes;
meanwhile, other pairs
are bound for areas such
as Birmingham, Troy,
Royal Oak and Huntington
Woods. The school’s 84
students, all Friday Boys,
come to the boarding
school from across the
U.S. as well as from many
other countries. Most
travel home to their
families for major Jewish
holidays. Moshe has 10
siblings and Levi has nine.
After four years in Oak
Park, the students enter
yeshivahs, where they
will study to become
Chabad rabbis.
CLOCKWISE FROM BOTTOM
RIGHT: Moshe and Levi
wait for traffic to slow on
Northwestern Highway once
again. The teens, who are
good friends, relax in the
dorm room they shared this
summer. In the parking lot
between the main building
and their dorms, Friday
Boys engage in a pick-up
basketball game in the
parking lot. Students also
have bikes and other forms
of recreation open to them.
