This past Shabbos, the MTA Class of 2027 experienced a Freshman retreat like no other. Themed “Shabbos Unites Us,” the entire program revolved around creating a greater sense of achdus within the grade, and a greater sense of connection to klal Yisrael in general. To that end, the MTA freshman, their senior Cubs2Lions mentors, and rebbeim joined together to share a special Shabbos at Camp Nageela.

HALB teachers Rabbi Steinberg, Rabbi Werner and Morah Wieder have opened their classrooms up to students in Modiin. This week, one mother joined the zoom to thank Rabbi Werner, HALB, and the students for having her son join every day. She said, “it strengthens us a lot... and it makes us feel so so loved”. Rabbi Werner responded saying “It’s us, we feel the hakarat hatov. Gavriel, you are no different than a Maccabee. You’re staying strong learning Torah.”

In the midst of ongoing conflict in Israel, YSZ High School stands together, working tirelessly to assist our Israeli brothers and sisters.

This past Sunday MTA welcomed parents and relatives of their freshmen, along with the freshman talmidim to a special breakfast. This event is usually a fun, light event that helps the new high schoolers bond with their classmates, and gives the opportunity for parents to meet as well.

Yeshiva Har Torah’s Parent-Teacher Association hosts an opening event every year, extending a warm welcome to new families and fostering a sense of unity within the school community. This year, the committee pivoted the program and invited parents, grandparents and teachers for an evening of solidarity in the wake of the tragedies that began in Israel over Shemini Atzeret.

During these trying times, the Yeshiva of Central Queens family is doing their best to help their brothers and sisters in Eretz Yisrael. Students and staff have been working on strengthening their connection with Hashem and fellow Jews, by davening with more kavanah and providing support to chayalim and all Israelis in need.
