Schools

It was a week to remember at the Rambam Mesivta, packed with exciting events, treats, and meaningful learning experiences. The school finished off last week, Erev Shabbos, with National Hot Cocoa Day, a sweet treat initiative spearheaded by senior Gershon Brill and sponsored by the class of 2025. Students enjoyed a variety of hot cocoa flavors, including chocolate, vanilla, and marshmallows. Special thanks to Aaron Friedman, Director of Operations, for putting everything together, and senior Zachary Haironson for also helping to set up this fun treat.

Mr. Jarrod Mittan joined the Yeshiva Har Torah family in February 2023 as Operations Manager. In this role, Mr. Mittan serves as a key support to the Executive Director, Mr. Ephi Strazynski, and helps to manage the institution’s growing operational needs, including all aspects of facilities management across both campuses. With extensive professional experience and a commitment to excellence, Mr. Mittan has quickly become an integral member of the internal team and, by extension, a valued part of the broader Yeshiva Har Torah community.

Rosh Chodesh Kislev was filled with energy and joy at Yeshiva Tiferes Moshe. The Early Childhood Program kicked off the celebration with an engaging Rosh Chodesh “Dreidel Dancing” activity.

As part of their recent introduction to the letter hei, the kindergarten boys at Yeshiva Tiferes Moshe enjoyed an exciting visit from Chevra Hatzolah of Queens and Great Neck. Rabbi Godick, a dedicated Hatzalah volunteer and father of student Aharon Yonah, brought the iconic bright yellow ambulance to the Yeshiva.

On Monday, December 9, and Thursday, December 12, the Grade 6 Boys and Girls visited the Metropolitan Museum of Art’s Ancient Egypt Exhibit. Students engaged with the material they are learning about in Mrs. Howitt’s Social Studies class and saw ancient artifacts first-hand.
