The Third Grade Girls Purim Play was a fantastic reenactment of the Purim story. The girls had a great time on stage, and the audience enjoyed every minute of it.

On Monday, February 27, Yeshiva Sha’arei Zion celebrated 100 days of school, as grades kindergarten through fifth grade had exciting and challenging activities in their respective classrooms. Every teacher invested time, effort, and creativity, as students worked beautifully on the various challenges. Students enjoyed every minute as they laughed, learned, and engaged in the 100-day challenge! Not only did every class have a theme, but each also truly dived into the challenge with positive attitudes and a love for learning. Teachers and students took 100 days of celebration to the next level, as every class presented authenticity, dedication, and pure joy.

Lamplighter Hebrew Academy students got into the Purim spirit last week at a gala Purim carnival hosted by the seniors class at the Jewish Institute of Queens.

The month of Adar is always an exciting time of the year for both children and adults. Every year, the Adar ruach at Yeshiva Tiferes Moshe is amazing.

The Seniors of the Stella K. Abraham High School for Girls took a trip on Wednesday, March 1, to Be’er Hagolah Institute to share the joy of Adar with the children of the school. Enjoying an entertaining carnival and various art projects, the students at Be’er Hagolah were b’simchah throughout the SKA’s students’ entire visit.

Ezra Boys spent last Shabbos shteiging with the Traveling Chasidim in Monsey. Organized by Rabbi Eli Geller, Mashgiach Ruchani of Ezra Academy, Shabbos Shekalim counted in many significant ways for the Ezra Senior boys. The senior boys also members of the Kollel, contemplating spending a year in Israel were invited to Monsey, along with alumni, to really spend time pondering the benefits of taking a gap year in yeshiva. The Shabbaton was attended by a mix of current senior boys, recent alumni back from their years of learning in Israel, and married alumni beginning their own families. The warmth of the experience was a truly perfect environment to reflect on the numerous advantages of spending post-high-schools year(s) learning in Israel. The beauty of Shabbos with the traveling Chasidim only enhanced the idea that developing a frum household of their own, should be their priority.
