It was a week to remember at the Rambam Mesivta, packed with exciting events, treats, and meaningful learning experiences. The school finished off last week, Erev Shabbos, with National Hot Cocoa Day, a sweet treat initiative spearheaded by senior Gershon Brill and sponsored by the class of 2025. Students enjoyed a variety of hot cocoa flavors, including chocolate, vanilla, and marshmallows. Special thanks to Aaron Friedman, Director of Operations, for putting everything together, and senior Zachary Haironson for also helping to set up this fun treat.
This followed the Thursday night Senior Cholent-A-Thon, sponsored by Elazar Schwartz and family, which was a hit and sold out quickly. Proceeds from the event went to benefit senior scholarships, offering students a delicious treat for the way home from school and a way to support their peers.
The action continued on Sunday with the Varsity Flag Football team shutting out Magen David in a thrilling match. Meanwhile, Rabbi Ariel Rosensweig completed his Halachah Yomis on the brachos of Neiros Chanukah. The talmidim were treated to snacks in celebration of this achievement.
Throughout the week, Rambam’s Club Hour provided a variety of activities, including Mixed Martial Arts, Sports, World Culture, STEM, Knee Hockey, Chess and more. With students taking the lead in organizing these events, there truly was something for everyone.
In addition to the fun, Rabbi Ephraim Meth’s 10th grade Gemara Iyun Shiur saw impressive progress, with students being awarded certificates based on the number of Gemara lines they memorized, with some students reaching more than 60 lines.
It was a week that truly showcased Rambam’s blend of Torah learning, sports, and student driven initiatives.
