Last Sunday, ahead of Pesach, parents of the talmidim in Rabbi Lapp and Rabbi Pollack’s classes at Yeshiva Tiferes Moshe viewed the children’s makos projects. The boys have spent the last number of months studying the intricacies of ten plagues as part of the Chumash curriculum. In the culmination of their learning, the fourth grade students created a depiction of one makah learned. It was great seeing how each boy displayed the same makah from a different perspective.

 Last Thursday, the seventh and eighth graders at Yeshiva Tiferes Moshe had a special Rosh Chodesh breakfast to usher in the month of Nisan, Rosh Chodashim.

Shaarei Zedek of East Meadow, to the talmidim on the meaning of cheirus, freedom. The rav's divrei chizuk hit home for the junior high school boys. Rabbi Winter offered positive feedback on the boy's engagement in his presentation. Afterward, Rabbi Becker concluded the Ki Heim Chayeinu program with a raffle for exciting prizes.
