The Rambam Mesivta, which was chosen as a school of excellence, has historically been the only boys yeshivah high school in the country to have been so named.

At the Yeshiva of Central Queens (YCQ), preparing for Thanksgiving and Chanukah has been a school-wide extraordinary adventure. Morah Yaffi Salek, Grade 3 teacher, says, “This time of year is special for my students. The Chanukah spirit is felt when they play a nightly Hebrew interactive game that they’ve created. The game is played while the menorah is burning.”

The email sent to the students of the Stella K. Abraham High School for Girls on the second night of Chanukah read “Dress warmly.”

“Amazing!” “Incredible!” “Thanks so much!” These were just some of the reactions to Rambam’s 21st annual Alumni Shabbaton in Israel.
