Schools

From Sunday to Tuesday, Mrs. Audi Hecht, History Department chair, led four students – sophomores Sarah Hamerman and Tamar Weiss, and seniors Orah Massihesraelian and Olivia Peller – on the AIPAC Policy Conferences.

The Shabbos of February 28-29 was an exciting one for MTA talmidim and rebbeim! Talmidim in Rabbi Cohn’s Freshman Shiur, Rabbi Kahn and Rabbi Stone’s Freshman Shiur, Rabbi Kerner’s Sophomore Shiur, Rabbi Mendelson’s Junior Shiur, and Rabbi Emerson’s Junior Bekius Shiur all enjoyed shiur Shabbatonim at the homes of their rebbeim, while Rabbi Konigsberg hosted the winners of the Woodmere Weekend prize from MTA’s annual Chanukah auction at his home.

The ACE team, Team 40, had the opportunity to tour the ongoing construction project at LaGuardia Airport last week. They heard from several professionals involved in the project.

On Tuesday, March 3, MTA talmidim in Rabbi Danto’s Freshman Shiur had the exciting opportunity to meet with Rabbi Dovid Newman, Founder of the V’Haarev Na learning program, which has revolutionized the way that yeshivah high school talmidim are learning. The program focuses on intense chazarah bir’tzifus – constant review of the material for an extended period of time with no interruptions.

Seniors at the Stella K. Abraham High School for Girls continued to contribute to the festive Adar atmosphere in the school!

…97, 98, 99, 100! The Pre-1A classes celebrated their 100th day of school, and boy did they have fun! In honor of this special day the boys did many exciting 100-day activities. First both classes released 100 colorful balloons into the sky from our rooftop play area! The boys watched in amazement as the balloons disappeared into the clouds. The boys strung 100 fruit loops on a necklace, made 100-day hats, and wrote about the number 100. They had a chance to create structures using 100 cups and they enjoyed 100 delicious snacks!
