On Taanis Esther, a group of Shevach High School students went to visit The Boulevard ALP to deliver mishloach manos provided by Agudath Israel of America, and to bring the spirit of Purim to the residents. With fun costumes and lively music, the elderly residents and the Shevach students alike had a memorable and uplifting experience.

During this difficult time, the girls at the Bais Yaakov Academy of Queens were thinking of others and reaching out to them. Under the guidance of their teacher, Mrs. Shira Silber, the fifth graders decorated R’fuah Sh’leimah cards and posters conveying their good wishes and meaningful thoughts to those quarantined. The girls discussed how all Jews are one big family and care for each other.

In honor of Rosh Chodesh Adar, Shevach High School went on an overnight trip to the Mountain Laurel Resort in the Poconos. As the students boarded the buses, they were given sweet Danishes to snack on, provided by the Shevach PA. Shortly after leaving Shevach, one of the buses seemed to break down, conveniently at Flushing Meadow Park, forcing everyone to disembark and dance to Purim music. All enjoyed starting the trip with this surprise Purim shtick.
