Seniors at Yeshiva University High School for Boys are engaging with Israel in a meaningful new way through a bi-weekly podcast assignment for their Contemporary Israel class. Every other week, students choose from a curated list of Israel-focused podcasts covering topics ranging from current events and politics to culture, history, and Jewish identity. After listening during their commutes or free time, students write brief summaries and engage in thoughtful online discussions with their classmates, asking questions, making connections to classroom learning, and exploring different perspectives. This innovative assignment helps talmidim build essential background knowledge about Israel while developing critical thinking and academic discussion skills that will serve them well beyond the classroom.

This week, MTA came together to mark Sharsheret Pink Week, dedicating meaningful time and energy to raising awareness and standing in support of those affected by breast and ovarian cancer.

On Thursday, February 12, Grade 2 students at YCQ had the incredible opportunity to write letters in a sefer Torah as part of the “Osiyos shel Ahavah” (“Letters of Love”) program by the Sulamot organization. Once complete, the Torah will be donated to Kibbutz Kfar Aza. Students learned that just like each letter joins together to create a sefer Torah, every member of am Yisrael truly makes a difference when we are united. Students also had the chance to practice their sofer skills by writing their names with a real quill and ink.

The halls of Bnos Malka Academy were buzzing with excitement at this year’s Education Fair, as students proudly presented the results of weeks of research and preparation.
