Extracurriculars in HAFTR High School are inclusive of everyone’s interests, and students are often encouraged to take charge by creating new clubs and teams that do not yet exist. HAFTR’s student body recently participated in its annual club fair, which was held on Thursday, September 22. This activity allowed students to research and choose from a large selection of student-run extracurriculars within the school. With over 40 choices to select from, students are able to cultivate their hobbies and passions with like-minded peers in a “non-academic” setting.

Parshas Noach was taught extensively in the classrooms at IVDU Five Towns, with our rebbe and teachers teaching the students across all classes about the animals that Noach brought onto the teivah. In order to bring that experience to life, IVDU Five Towns had a petting zoo come, where the students were able to feed and touch the animals. The children got to experience firsthand what Noach had to do, keeping busy and taking care of the animals’ needs. At IVDU Five Towns, the children gain a tremendous amount of learning in the classroom, but it is equally important for them to gain the knowledge while experiencing things hands-on outside of the classroom, as well.

Yet this month is infused with a special koach with a deep reservoir of all the t’filos of klal Yisrael from the month of Tishrei.
