HALB students created hakaras ha’tov posters for local businesses that have shown their support for Israel. A few students and a teacher then went around town delivering them. Students went to Dunkin Donuts, Zoe & Co, Gifts and Crafts, and Jildor. The manager at Dunkin Donuts was so touched, he insisted on giving the girls doughnuts with an Israeli star!

The boys in Rabbi Pollak’s fourth grade class at Yeshiva Tiferes Moshe are learning up a storm. They almost finished Parshas Sh’mos and look forward to the siyum and starting the next parshah. They have completed the first perek of Mishnayos B’rachos and have moved on to the next perek.

Lev Chana has already begun their Chanukah workshops. Each morning, another class invites their parents in for a special presentation of songs followed by Chanukah crafts. The children and parents all have a great time singing and doing arts and crafts together!

It is no secret how much children love pizza. The mere mention that that’s what’s for dinner has them beaming. The BMA Children Helping Children campaign has delivered over 800 pizza pies to families living in Mitzpeh Yericho and to the 75 displaced families from the south now staying in that area. The stream of emails the school has received with pictures and letters shows how a small little effort means so much to others. This letter from the Hazan family of Sderot is just one example:

This past Thursday, the Kindergarten boys at Yeshiva Tiferes Moshe were very excited to welcome their mommies to Yeshiva for a special pre-Chanukah workshop. The program began with the boys and their mommies singing, clapping, and dancing along with their music teacher, Morah Rena Greenberg.

In a remarkable display of unity and commitment, members of the Yeshiva Sha’arei Zion Girls High School recently participated in the March for Israel held in Washington, DC.
