In conjunction with learning the alef-beis letter hei, the kindergarten boys of Yeshiva Tiferes Moshe were treated to a visit from Hatzolah of Queens and Great Neck volunteer members Mr. Yehuda Benjamin (the brother-in-law of kindergarten student Yaakov Savetsky), Mr. Avi Stern (the father of two YTM boys), and Mr. Moshe Teicher (a dedicated community servant). Their visit coincided with Shabbos Hatzalah, which annually falls on Parshas VaYeitzei.

On Thanksgiving morning, MTA talmidim woke up for a day off from yeshivah. However, it was certainly not a day off from serious learning. MTA rebbeim gave shiurim on Thanksgiving morning in many of the communities in which talmidim reside. From West Hempstead to Monsey, Brooklyn to Bergenfield, and several more, MTA talmidim and parents were able to enjoy a morning of Torah and t’filah together to start off their day off on the right foot.

The sheer scope of the devastation was unlike anything they had ever seen. Houses were flattened. Giant trees were toppled, their exposed roots clawing the air. More than 80 people died in the Category 4 hurricane, the fifth-strongest ever in the US, and the 150-mph wind caused billions of dollars in damage. Thousands of people lost their homes.
