MTA celebrated Chanukah in style with LionsLight, an exciting week of events and activities! Talmidim enjoyed special treats from Broad Street Dough Co. and Rita’s, participated in NCSY’s Chanukah Box Challenge and Escape The Zoom, and had fun bonding with their friends and rebbeim at shiur lunches and COVID-friendly chagigos.

Recently the students of Rambam were treated to an interview between two noted Mid-East experts. The Principal of Rambam, Rabbi Yotav Eliach, who has taught Religious Zionism to thousands of students, has served and continues to serve in the IDF, and is the author of Judaism, Zionism, and the Land of Israel, interviewed Dr. Hillel Fradkin, the Director of the Center on Islam, Democracy, and the Future of the Muslim World at the Hudson Institute.

Chanukah is always a special week at Central. The building is decorated, students and faculty give and receive gifts through Mystery Maccabee, Chinese Auction offerings drape the walls, and Chanukah sweaters abound. This year was no exception!

“The idea of a real snow day has us all imagining roaring fireplaces and hot cocoa with marshmallows,” wrote Mrs. Kaminetsky and Mrs. Drebin in an email to SKAers explaining there would be no school, nor a regular day of online teaching, on Thursday, December 17.
