In Dr. Katina Manko’s exciting new senior interdisciplinary elective, “Street Law and Literature,” students will learn about legal responsibility and rights through the perspectives of U.S. History, Civics, and Literature. The course will be arranged as a series of case studies on topics such as Search and Seizure, Stop and Frisk, Fair Housing, Voting Rights, and Workplace Harassment. The class has begun the term with a quick review of the Constitution and Bill of Rights. They have begun to examine how the Supreme Court has interpreted the establishment of religion clause in our first amendment, which guarantees free expression of religion and the separation of church and state. 

It was an emotional and exciting return to school for students and teachers at Bnos Malka Academy. The school has been very busy preparing the classrooms, hallways, and dining room in anticipation of this day. Desk shields, sanitizing stations, and signage are just a few of the measures taken to protect the girls and staff.

We are off to an amazing start to the school year at HALB Lev Chana! The children have acclimated beautifully to being back at school. In each class/cohort, children are reconnecting with old friends and getting to know new ones, learning new routines, and enjoying many exciting activities. Of course, Rosh HaShanah is in the air, as well! With safety as our primary focus, it is truly great to be Back Home@Lev Chana!

This year’s opening day of school was certainly like no other. Throughout the first week of school, we welcomed faculty and students and the Class of 2024. The excitement was palpable throughout the building as we have not been together for so long.

The MTA Class of 2024 had an amazing time on their Freshman Hike! They explored the local community on a hike to the Little Red Lighthouse and also enjoyed sports and engaging activities designed to help them get to know one another. Their Cub2Lion Senior mentors joined the fun for a barbecue lunch and exciting games. It was the perfect way for Freshmen to bond together as a grade, make new friends, and spend time with their rebbeim outside the classroom. MTA is proud to offer an enhanced Freshman Experience, including fun events like this one, guidance sessions, and team-building workshops, which enable talmidim to bond cohesively as a grade and interact with boys with whom they may not share classes.
