 The fourth grade boys at HALB went on a meaningful trip to the Israel Chesed Center. They donated and decorated hand-held fans for the chayalim. Moshe Bodner, who runs the center, spoke to the students and showed them a video of chayalim thanking everyone for all the supplies we have sent them from the Five Towns since October 7. It was truly an incredible and meaningful experience.

As of this week, the Yeshiva University High School for Girls (Central) has given the world another stellar group of young women in the class of 2024. These seniors graduated on Wednesday, June 5, in Lamport Auditorium on the Main Campus of Yeshiva University, in Washington Heights.

On Tuesday, May 28, students in YCQ’s Elementary School marked Lag BaOmer with Color War and a fun-filled day at Flushing Meadows-Corona Park. Four teams in each grade participated in relay races, Kahoot trivia games, cheers, hakaras ha’tov speeches, divrei Torah, and other friendly competitions.

When North Shore Hebrew Academy High School students hit the basketball court for a game on a Sunday in May, the focus wasn’t on which team scored the most points. Instead, it was on unity. This was no ordinary game. The school hosted a delegation of about 20 players from Israel, all of whom had been impacted in some way by the horrific attacks of October 7.

MTA instituted the Yeshiva Fellowship program to encourage talmidim to take on extra learning and grow from the experience. This program requires real dedication and hasmadah to the talmid’s learning, and it is therefore not something that everyone feels comfortable taking on. The talmidim who commit to the learning do so on their own time, be it during lunch, night seder, Friday night learning in neighborhood shuls, or Shabbos day.

All educators want to make sure that their students leave their class or school armed with the tools they will need when they move on in life. On May 22, the faculty and administration at the Machon Sarah TAG High School gave a special gift to their seniors just a few weeks before graduation. This was not an external gift that they were given, but rather the gift of revealing treasures that lie within them.
