On the Tuesday and Wednesday before Chanukah, the Pre-1A boys at Yeshiva Tiferes Moshe eagerly awaited the arrival of their parents for a special, hands-on, Chanukah workshop! The program began with a fun game of Chanukah BINGO. Then, each boy participated in two very exciting Chanukah projects. The boys created a Chanukah caddy, which they collaged in their own unique style. They were also able to make a stuffed dreidel pillow, which they sewed on their own! Thank you to all the parents who rearranged their very busy schedules to join us. The boys and their parents really had a great time!

HALB’s Mission to Israel has begun. They brought several duffels filled with boots for soldiers, met with hero Baruch Cohen who saved his entire Kibbutz on October 7, met with displaced families, and volunteered on a garlic field. The experience was a powerful one for everyone involved.

Hadar Bet Yaakov students lit their school with Chanukah simchah this past week with a chagigah, dance time, beautiful gift-sharing, doughnut making, cookie decorating, teacher parties, Chanukah Jeopardy, and Chanukah ice-skating. The plethora of activities wove into the students’ week as girls had academic classes “enlightened” with a little extra fun during the Chanukah week.

Students at SINAI at YCQ celebrated Chanukah with tasty treats, art projects, and a carnival run by junior high school students!

It was a record-breaking year for the Ezra graduates of 2023 who were able to go spend a gap year in Eretz Yisrael this year.
