North Shore Hebrew Academy High School (NSHAHS) in Great Neck welcomed Elnatan Mori, an IDF commander and combat medic who served on the Gaza front lines after October 7, on Friday, January 30. Elnatan spoke about leadership in combat, caring for wounded soldiers, and maintaining moral clarity in difficult circumstances, drawing on his deep emunah.

Last week, kindergarten students at YCQ reached a special milestone by receiving their very own “starter siddurim.” The siddurim serve as a foundational introduction to tefillah readiness, equipping students with the skills needed as they transition toward using a formal siddur. These siddurim will follow the students into first grade, where they will use them until they receive their siddurim at the Chagigat HaSiddur.

Students in Lev Chana recreated K’rias Yam Suf by building models in their classrooms and then they actually reenacted K’rias Yam Suf as they walked and danced down the hallway with blue walls all around them!

The boys in Mrs. Borr’s first-grade class recently celebrated the completion of their first math workbook! What better way to celebrate during the cold winter months than with a fun, hot cocoa party! The boys enjoyed sipping their cocoa while Mrs. Borr read the funny story of “Sneezy the Snowman.”
