At our Early Learning Center (ELC), we combined our Rosh Chodesh festivities with our brand new “Strive for 5 Core Values” to introduce our students to two members of the “Strive for 5 family”: Compassionate Kalman and Connect-to-Hashem Keren!

If you want to get a sense for any school community, there’s only one place to get the real story: the students. At the Yeshiva University High School for Girls (Central), the array of extracurricular activities and special programming on offer enables students to design their own personalized high school experience, complete with learning in and out of the classroom.

HALB Middle School students had the honor of hearing from Dvir Dangur, a chayal in the Tzanchanim unit of the IDF. Dvir was injured from an explosion that went off in a house while he was there searching for tunnels. His friend Shalev was sadly killed in that same explosion. Dvir spent 11 months in the hospital and underwent 16 surgeries. His goal now is to spread a message of gratitude in honor of Shalev who lived his life that way. Dvir told the students to wake up, say Modeh Ani, and really appreciate being alive and being part of am Yisrael. He also shared that he felt the love and t’filos from America to Israel, and we should continue davening for our brothers and sisters in Israel. Am Yisrael Chai!

Kindergarten students at YCQ recently completed an exciting Science unit on the Five Senses with Morah Michali! Through hands-on activities, the students learned to observe, identify, and appreciate the unique ways we experience the world around us. Each sense – sight, hearing, taste, touch, and smell – was explored in fun, interactive lessons, sparking curiosity and a love of discovery. The students are eager to continue their journey of exploration, building foundational skills that encourage observation, inquiry, and critical thinking about the world around them.

Rambam Mesivta recently hosted two highly successful Open Houses this past Motzaei Shabbos and Monday evening, attracting large crowds of prospective students and their families eager to learn more about the Mesivta’s distinctive approach to Torah, midos, and excellence.

Over Chol HaMoed, Mr. Altabe and his family presented the Rabbi and CEO of Beit Levenshtein Rehabilitation Hospital with photos of HALB students marching in the Salute to Israel Parade with the flag of the hospital. The patients appreciate the connection HALB has made with them, and how deeply the HALB community cares about our IDF heroes.
