Schools

On Wednesday, November 12, HANC High School’s Mashgiach Ruchani, Rabbi Daniel Mezei, brought members of the Photography Club on a meaningful and creative field trip to Hempstead Lake State Park. Their mission was both artistic and spiritual: to discover a love of Hashem through the lens by observing the wonders of nature.

Last week, the Yeshiva Primary seventh- and eighth-grade girls took a trip to Morah Sulymanov’s house to learn the importance of baking challah for Shabbos. Each girl kneaded her own challah dough and recited the proper brachah during the challah-making process.

Every week, Shabbos offers the Yeshiva University High School for Girls (Central) community a moment to slow down, reconnect, and refocus. During this year’s Shabbos Week, students brought that spirit into the hallways with a lineup of fun, meaningful events.

The excitement was palpable as families filled the beis midrash for MTA’s annual Open House, themed “Ahead of the Curve, Connected Across Community.” The evening began with inspiring remarks by Rabbi Daniel Konigsberg, Principal, Rabbi Dr. Ari Berman, President of Yeshiva University, Rabbi Michael Taubes, Rosh Yeshivah, and Rabbi Shimon Schenker, Menahel. Each shared the yeshivah’s vision of Torah excellence, academic growth, and personal development, reflecting MTA’s mission to provide education, uncompromised.

Bnos Malka Academy celebrated a meaningful milestone this week as its second-grade students participated in the annual Chumash Play, marking their formal introduction to learning Chumash. The girls impressed family and friends with beautifully sung songs, accompanied by Morah Rena Greenberg on keyboard, creating an atmosphere filled with pride and joy.

The seventh graders at Bnos Malka Academy enjoyed a lively and laughter-filled melaveh malkah this past Motza’ei Shabbos. The evening kicked off with an energetic Zumba session led by Irit Friedman, combining dance and exercise in a fun and upbeat way. The girls then took things up a notch, literally dancing in the dark with glow sticks lighting up the room.
