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!”

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.

Throughout the year, the Back To The Future Rosh Chodesh Program at BYQ has been highlighting a famous woman each month. The girls have become familiar with these role models, learning about their outstanding midos and the mitzvos close to their hearts. Each month, they received a card with a picture of the woman on one side and important facts about her on the other. The girls have been collecting these cards and placing them in a plastic card sleeve.
