Bais Yaakov of Queens is still “flying high” with the memories of the recent two-week El Al PRayerlines Tefilah Program. It was an intense two weeks, where the girls were “elevated” to new “heights” in their level of t’filah to Hashem, through song, dance, drama, interactive lessons, food, and visual displays. The school building was transformed into an “airport” with creative and meaningful bulletin boards, signs, door messages, and an entrance lobby displaying airplanes flying overhead straight to the Shaarei Shamayim!

This past Sunday, HALB sixth grade girls celebrated the milestone of becoming b’nos mitzvah with their parents and teachers. The program began with Rabbi Fogel, Middle School Principal of Limudei Kodesh, running a workshop on T’filah. Then they enjoyed a delicious breakfast, while hearing powerful words of Torah from HALB’s Head of School, Rabbi Englander, as well as from some of the b’nos mitzvah.

Purim spirit was definitely in the air at the Stella K. Abraham High School for Girls the week of February 21. With a hilarious costume contest on Tuesday and a Dress Up Decades Day on Wednesday, SKA students proved they are extraordinarily creative. Contributing to the lighthearted festive atmosphere, several SKA faculty members dressed as they did in high school while many girls continued wearing Purim garb the rest of the week!

Mrs. Rivki Morel was born with cystic fibrosis and has lived a life of struggle, hardship, transformation, and optimism all rolled into one. As a life’s mission, she has undertaken to take her message of emunah to the wider Jewish community and graciously came to Shevach High School on Monday, February13, to speak to its students and staff as part of that mission.

The challenge was clear, but the solution was not: Develop a technological answer to an African village’s poverty and lack of clean water.

This SINAI@YCQ student and his classmates made an edible flag for Presidents’ Day. Yum!
