Connecting the Queens Jewish Community 
The Yeshiva of Central Queens (YCQ) campus was filled with a spirit of teshuvah and inspiration this past Motzaei Shabbos, September 13, as over 100 students, parents, and alumni gathered for a meaningful Family Selichot program.
The new school year began on a high note at Yeshiva Har Torah Early Childhood with the annual Early Childhood Kickoff event, welcoming pre-K and kindergarten students in the most joyful way!
The 2025-2026 school year is already off to a memorable start at the Yeshiva University High School for Girls (Central), with an eagerly anticipated highlight of the fall calendar: the first-ever YUHSG schoolwide retreat, held September 11 and 12 at Camp Kaylie. Anchored by this year’s school theme, B’Chol Levavcha “Uv’chol Nafshecha: Full Hearts, Full Souls,” the retreat united all four grades for two days of connection, spirit, and community-building.
A rainy morning gave way to a bright and joyful afternoon on Sunday, September 7, as the Yeshiva of Central Queens (YCQ) community gathered for an epic Back-to-School Carnival hosted by the Parent-Teacher Organization (PTO).
On Tuesday, September 2, HANC High School hosted its annual Freshman Orientation. Students were greeted on the lawn by administrators, directors, upperclassmen, music, and great vibes.
The energy was electric as the buses pulled up on the first day of school at Yeshiva University High School for Boys. Music filled the air as administrators lined the front entrance to greet each talmid with smiles and excitement.
