Schools

The past few weeks have been simply Falltastic at HAFTR Early Childhood! We had so much fun on our leaf hunt and saw how the leaves change from green to lively shades of red, orange, yellow, and brown. We also felt the bumpy brown trunk of the tree and saw the roots poking out of the ground, which we know the tree uses to drink the rainwater like a straw. Lastly, we opened our mouths and stretched our hands up like a tree to see if we could fill our bellies with sunshine like the trees!

Chesed opportunities took up much of Wednesday, October 20, and Thursday, October 21, when all the grades of the Stella K. Abraham High School for Girls experienced different ways of giving back to the Jewish community.

Prospective students and their families poured into YSZ High School on Sunday, October 31, to learn about the new high school. There was an excitement and energy in the air.

In conjunction with Rosh Chodesh, students at SINAI at YCQ found both a hands-on and delicious way to learn about the cycles of the moon – by using Oreo cookies to illustrate the various phases.

YTM talmidim enjoyed the annual Ki Heim Chayeinu Sukkos vacation learning and davening program barbecue!

“Oneg Shabbat at Yeshiva of Central Queens is an exceptional part of its Early Childhood Program,” relates Morah Michelle Bloom, YCQ Kindergarten Teacher. “All the Kindergarten students come together in the shul and daven. They sing Shabbat songs and listen to a story by Rabbi Landsman, Principal of YCQ. It’s so important for the yeladim to see and experience this sense of achdut.”
