A Shabbos of growth, connection, and inspiration in Kew Gardens Hills! This past Shabbos, Parshas VaYeira, 21 seniors from Ezra Academy had the incredible opportunity to spend a beautiful Leadership Shabbaton in the warm and welcoming Kew Gardens Hills community. Our students were embraced with tremendous love and hospitality, with many graciously hosted by Ezra Academy alumni who opened their homes and hearts to the next generation of Ezra students.

One thousand bulletproof vests and 255 duffel bags of supplies were sent by the Young Israel of Forest Hills to Israeli soldiers.

The Young Professionals Minyan at the shul initiated the drive. They put out a need for assistance using WhatsApp, Facebook, Instagram, and email on Monday, October 9. More than 150 volunteers showed up to assist on October 10.

On Sunday, November 1, Yeshiva University High School for Girls (Central) welcomed prospective eighth graders and their families to the Holliswood campus for this year’s Open House event. Newcomers were greeted by current YUHSG student volunteers, staff, and faculty, as well as representatives from Yeshiva University, including YU Senior Vice President Mr. Andrew (Avi) Lauer and the Rosh Yeshiva of YU RIETS, Rabbi Aryeh Lebowitz. YUHSG thanks the community for an outstanding (and enthusiastic!) turnout.
