Schools

In light of the situation in Eretz Yisrael, Yeshiva Sha’arei Zion has been organizing special prayer gatherings with the younger children and speaking with the middle school children about the current situation. To express their gratitude and offer chizuk, every grade in both divisions wrote a personal letter to a soldier, which they learned and saw proof of how much it means to those on the frontlines. The older girls raised funds, purchased supplies, and packed them to be transported to Israel for the direct benefit of soldiers.

Coloring books, crayons, personal letters, assemblies, care packages, T’hilim, individual and class-wide kabalos are all among the varied things the girls at Bnos Malka are doing in response to the horrific events in Israel.

On Tuesday, October 10, HANC Middle School held its Names, Not Numbers© program. Names, Not Numbers is a copyrighted oral history film project and curriculum that Mrs. Tova Fish-Rosenberg created, which takes the teaching of the Holocaust and its lessons well beyond many previous efforts. Through the Names, Not Numbers© program, HANC’s eighth-grade students had the opportunity to document the teachings of the Holocaust and address questions about an individual’s responsibility to humanity.

United in their support of Israel during these difficult times, SINAI@YCQ students wrote encouraging letters to the soldiers defending our homeland. Kol HaKavod!

It’s a moment of excitement and pride when the Central community welcomes newcomers into the building. On Sunday, October 15, Central faculty, staff, and students had a chance to do just that during the school’s annual Open House. Wildcats extended a warm welcome to prospective eighth-grade students and their families with a taste of life at YUHSG.

HALB students joined together, singing and davening to support our brothers and sisters in Israel.
