YSZ had the great z'chut of greeting HaRav HaGaon Nissim Ben Shimon Shlit"a recently. He is a renowned talmid chacham, mekubal, Rosh Av Bet Din of Tel Aviv, and member of the Moetzet Chachmei Torah.

On Wednesday, September 20, Central held its annual Great Round Challah Bake. The Challah Bake is an event that many at Central have come to eagerly anticipate - an opportunity for the school community to bond and daven during the Aseres Yimei Teshuva. "The Great Round Challah Bake is always a meaningful occasion for Central - a chance to be together at the beginning of the semester,” said Dean of Students Mrs. Aliza Gewirtz (‘06).

The class of 2027 took a break from their regular classes last Thursday and headed into the woods for their annual Freshman Hike. After shiur, the boys boarded the buses together with their rebbeim and enjoyed the challenging trail.

It’s a new school year at Central! Preparations for opening week began with a new faculty orientation on Tuesday, August 30. New Wildcat faculty members bonded over icebreakers, a tour of the Central facility, and training sessions on technology and school culture. The evening of the 30^th brought all faculty members together for a reunion with Central’s first annual Faculty Family Fun night, offering dinner, lawn games, and a popular bouncy castle for our faculty members’ children. The following day, faculty members used morning and afternoon development sessions to reflect on the past year and anticipate the year to come.

In preparation for the school year, the rebbeim, teachers, and staff at Yeshiva Tiferes Moshe came together for a day of workshops and conversations geared towards refining our approach in all areas.

While the beginning of a school year always brings new excitement, for Yeshiva Har Torah – a Centrist Orthodox Jewish day school serving students from around Nassau County and Queens – this year’s first day of school also meant opening a new, state-of-the-art Early Learning Center.
