Seniors in MTA’s Names, Not Numbers elective course recently began filming their Holocaust documentary. They had the privilege of interviewing Holocaust survivors Ruth Gruener, Claire Grunwald, and Susan Charney in a safe and socially distant manner. Each woman shared her story in an effort to help MTA talmidim educate the world about the Holocaust and ensure that their stories of survival are never forgotten. Ruth Gruener described what it was like to be hidden by Righteous Gentiles in Poland during the War.

Purim was in the air at the Yeshiva of Central Queens this week. Students and staff dressed up in costumes and enjoyed a day of singing and sharing mishloach manos with their teachers and friends. The PTO volunteers packed beautiful bags with a full s’udah that were distributed to all of the staff in appreciation for all that they do, especially this year where they have gone above and beyond to keep the students in school learning and celebrating.
