On Monday, May 23, the YCQ Debate Team competed in the 2022 Middle School Yeshiva Debate Society Championship, held at Joseph Kushner Hebrew Academy in Livingston, New Jersey, and won First Place School for the 2021-2022 school year.
Elementary school students at SINAI@YCQ celebrated the end of the school year with a siddur presentation. The event featured video clips of the children saying something that they are thankful to Hashem for, in connection with the Birchos HaShachar, the morning blessings.
The excitement was palpable as Yeshiva Tiferes Moshe’s Pre-1A talmidim celebrated the momentous occasion of receiving their first siddurim. Having spent the school year learning to read, the boys are now prepared to learn how to daven from a siddur.
HALB Lev Chana students went on trips to White Post Farm and Green Meadows Farm last week. The weather was perfect, as our children jockeyed for the best positions to see, feed, and touch the animals. Pony rides, parrots perched on children and moros, picnic lunches, gigantic wooden and plastic structures for climbing, and ginormous giraffes to feed and pet were just a few of “my favorite things to do at the farm!”
The young men at Metivta Tiferet Torah have always demonstrated great fortitude when it comes to their growth in Torah and yirat Shamayim. It is truly uplifting to see the great lengths they will go to improve their midot, Mitzvot, and learning.
Rabbi Shmuel Y. Levin, Rosh Yeshiva of Telshe Yeshiva of Chicago, visited Yeshiva Sha’arei Zion of Queens to share divrei chizuk. The rav was very impressed by the Torah knowledge, warmth, and sincerity of the bochurim.
