MTA held its annual Dinner of Tribute last week at Marina Del Rey, and it was a tremendously successful event! With a packed room and a meaningful program, the entire MTA community felt proud of their yeshivah. In these troubling times, it can be difficult to balance the celebratory mood of a dinner with the current situation in Eretz Yisrael. In order to maintain proper balance, MTA paid special tribute to their alumni who are currently serving in the IDF. Several of the soldiers’ parents were in attendance and appreciated the yeshivah’s efforts in davening for and highlighting their children at the event.

Throughout this month, the preschoolers at Yeshiva Sha’arei Zion have been exploring the unit of clothing.
