On Tuesday, October 24, the eighth grade at Yeshiva Tiferes Moshe was introduced to the Names, Not Numbers© program. One of the purposes of this program is for students to meet and interview Holocaust survivors. The Yeshiva has been part of this project for a number of years, and it is now the turn for this year’s eighth-grade talmidim to participate.

Shevach High School’s acclaimed chesed program was launched for this year on Wednesday, October 25.

Under the leadership of Shevach’s Assistant Principal, Rebbetzin Chani Grunblatt, the chesed committee introduced various opportunities and practical suggestions in how to make a difference in the lives of many families and wonderful institutions within our community.

MTA had the privilege of joining YU students and roshei yeshivah for a special program commemorating the Shloshim of the October 7 massacre in Eretz Yisrael. The program included divrei chizuk, communal recitation of T’hilim, and Minchah with Avinu Malkeinu. After everyone gathered in Lamport Auditorium, everyone heard a personal account from relatives of a few of the current hostages. It hit home especially hard to hear the first-hand account from family members waiting anxiously for news about their loved ones.
