The eighth-grade boys of Yeshiva Har Torah recently participated in a meaningful event aimed at supporting the chayalim (soldiers) in Israel. In response to a request for tzitzis from the soldiers, and under the guidance of Rabbi Etan Ehrenfeld, Middle School Assistant Principal, the students engaged in the making of tzitzis. By crafting the garments, the eighth-grade boys of Yeshiva Har Torah hoped to provide the chayalim with an additional layer of protection as they fulfill their duties in protecting Medinat Yisrael.
The students were provided with all the necessary materials to create the tzitzis for this event. It served as a hands-on learning experience, allowing the boys to understand the significance of the mitzvah and the power tzitzis holds in the Jewish community, especially now.
Through this act of chesed, Yeshiva Har Torah’s eighth-grade boys have demonstrated the power of unity and the impact of collective mitzvos and the effect it can have all over the world, reaching our brothers in Israel. Their efforts serve as an inspiring example and should help merit the safe return of all of the hostages and chayalim back to their homes in Israel.
Special thanks to Mr. David Schwartz, grandfather of Sammy (second grade) and Zach (first grade), for making this possible.
