On Motza’ei Shabbos, November 19, the Yeshiva of Central Queens faculty, Grade 3 students, and their families and friends celebrated an intergenerational melaveh malkah in a beautifully decorated YCQ auditorium. Rabbi Landsman, YCQ Principal, kicked off the event with an amazing d’var Torah.

Rabbi Yerucham Levovitz famously wrote that “chesed starts with seeing.” We must first see the needs of others and then seek to give them help. When we do chesed, we give to others and build empathy in ourselves. When we do chesed, we model the work of the Ribbono Shel Olam. Chesed programming is essential to YSZ HS for Girls.
