The boys in the Early Childhood Program at YTM were treated to a fun, hands-on matzah baking experience. Together with their morahs, the boys came into the lunchroom, which had been converted into a Matzah Factory! The tables were lined with brown paper and each boy was given a special baker hat and apron to wear. Then the "work" began. They discussed what ingredients are needed for matzah, and compared the similarities and differences between matzah and bread.

YCQ has been deep in preparation for Pesach for weeks. Matzah covers were made, Kiddush cups created, classrooms cleaned, and model Seders were rehearsed. YCQ Early Childhood, Elementary School, and Junior High School students are ready to attend their family Sedarim with knowledge and understanding.

Exciting Pesach overtones permeated the school as our students participated in an Afikoman Scavenger Hunt. Each morning during breakfast, students clutched their phones waiting for the Afikoman Hunt clue to pop up in their inbox. Students taxed their brains then scoured the campus searching for the elusive Afikoman. Winners took home a $25 Amazon gift card.

On Shabbos HaGadol, MTA hosted its annual Yeshiva Fellowship Shabbaton at the Kartrite Resort in the Catskills. The event began with a fun Friday afternoon, where talmidim enjoyed the resort’s many amenities, including the indoor arcade.

Connecting Past, Present, and Future…

YSZ HS Girls prepared for Pesach with an inspiring yom iyun that focused on mesorah. We are a link in the chain. Each year, we sit down at the Seder and we connect generations to each other: grandparents, parents, and grandchildren. It is this tradition that connects the past to the present and the future.
