Kindergarten students at YCQ recently completed an exciting Science unit on the Five Senses with Morah Michali! Through hands-on activities, the students learned to observe, identify, and appreciate the unique ways we experience the world around us. Each sense – sight, hearing, taste, touch, and smell – was explored in fun, interactive lessons, sparking curiosity and a love of discovery. The students are eager to continue their journey of exploration, building foundational skills that encourage observation, inquiry, and critical thinking about the world around them.

At Yeshiva Har Torah, Hebrew is not simply a subject – it’s a living language that our students are immersed in from their earliest years at the school. Hebrew immersion is woven into the fabric of daily life, reflecting one of our core educational principles: the belief that fluency in our national language is key to building deep connections to am Yisrael, Medinat Yisrael, and our rich heritage.

Over Chol HaMoed, Mr. Altabe and his family presented the Rabbi and CEO of Beit Levenshtein Rehabilitation Hospital with photos of HALB students marching in the Salute to Israel Parade with the flag of the hospital. The patients appreciate the connection HALB has made with them, and how deeply the HALB community cares about our IDF heroes.

In a dramatic and groundbreaking new development designed to elevate students’ experiences at the Yeshiva University High School for Boys (MTA), Rabbi Shimon Schenker, Menahel, and Rabbi Daniel Konigsberg, Principal, recently announced the formation of four innovative programs in partnership with the undergraduate programs at YU.

It is great for MTA to be back in school after an extended break, but YUHSB had meaningful programming over Sukkos and Simchas Torah that brought their talmidim back together even outside of yeshivah. On Leil Hoshana Rabbah, Rabbi Balsam, MTA’s Rosh Beis Midrash, addressed talmidim and their fathers in Queens about simchas Yom Tov. Rabbi Konigsberg, MTA’s principal, discussed the sense of security each person feels from the sukkah to fathers and sons in West Hempstead. Rabbi Schenker, Menahel, joined a community event in Teaneck and addressed talmidim from several yeshivos and other schools. MTA talmidim appreciated the opportunity to come together and learn, while reuniting with friends.

This week, the Rambam Mesivta had its first week of Club Hour! Club Hour is a weekly time on Wednesdays allotted for students to join a club of their choice. Rabbi Yitz Milworn, Rambam’s new Director of Student Activities, offered students a menu comprised of close to 25 clubs to choose from. Everything from Music Appreciation to Skill-and-Tell, to Sofer Society, to Mixed Martial Arts was on the table.
