Asarah B’Teves became especially meaningful for the Stella K. Abraham High School for Girls students who voluntarily stayed after school to hear a shiur from Rabbi Shmuel Diamond about the significance of the fast day.

The students then packed Shabbos Bikur Cholim boxes for LIJ Hospital, making chesed one of their priorities for the day. The learning and chesed were dedicated for the z’chus for the r’fuah sh’leimah of Ruchamah Chanah bas Chavah.
