There for all her kids

Brooklyn’s Orthodox Jewish community was hit hard by the coronavirus crisis, and Bais Rivkah teacher Alte Raskin was in the thick of it — while caring for her newborn son.

Raskin, 27, a member of the Chabad Hasidic sect, was expecting a lengthy maternity leave in an empty house with her three girls in school. But when she gave birth on March 18, just as the coronavirus crisis was sweeping New York, she knew that wouldn’t be possible.

Instead she took six short weeks off while another teacher taught her seventh-grade students. At first, she was nervous to get back to work.

“I just had a baby. I don’t have so much energy to put into trying to figure out a whole new module of learning and teaching,” Raskin (pictured) said.

“The first few days were totally overwhelming. I was like, ‘What am I doing? . . . Maybe this is just not a good idea.’ I have kids. My kids are [doing] online school . . . Plus, I’m postpartum, right. I’m exhausted. I could barely move.”

Still, as a Bible studies teacher, Raskin knew she had important lessons to teach, especially as many students lost relatives.

“If you don’t have faith during something like a pandemic, it’s absolutely frightening because the world’s turning on you. There’s no rhyme or reason,” Raskin said.

She implored her students to remember they were all put on this earth to make it a “better place.”

One of Raskin’s students, 13-year-old Rosa Majerczyk, nominated her for The Post’s column.

“Under these difficult circumstances, she has to cook and take care of her three kids under the age of 8 plus a newborn,” the teen wrote. “But the crazy thing is, only a few weeks later, she somehow found a quiet space and is teaching us on Zoom.”
