Yeshivah boys who attend Pirchei of Kew Gardens / Richmond Hill Shabbos afternoon programming were treated to an exciting ice-skating trip saluting their regular attendance to the weekly Torah-based innovative extracurricular programming aimed at engendering joy and pride in Yiddishkeit from youth. This past Motza’ei Shabbos, December 23, enthusiasm built as the school bus filled with energetic smiles at Khal Adas Yereim of Kew Gardens, where the branch, one of over a hundred nationally, meets since inception. Upon return, the talmidim thoroughly enjoyed fresh pizza at a terrific melaveh malkah at the long-standing Metropolitan Avenue beacon of Torah for all ages.
Joining the boys were local community leaders Rabbi Yitzchok Katz, and his son Reb Aaron of Tomchei Shabbos of Queens (pictured center-left); Reb Aaron Cyperstein (Co-President of Khal Adas Yereim of Kew Gardens and President of Chaverim of Queens & Great Neck), New York State Assemblymember Andrew Hevesi (event co-sponsor), Rabbi Daniel Pollack (Special Advisor and Community Liaison to Congress Member Grace Meng), Rabbi Avrohom Hecht (Executive Director of Project Lead, event co-sponsor), and Rabbi Moshe Fogel (Pirchei’s Director, and rebbi at Yeshiva Ketana of Queens, Yeshiva Ketana Zichron Chaim U’Bina Of Queens). Pirchei, the boys’ division of Agudath Israel of America, is poised to ensure that every talmid reaches his fullest potential.
