A group of close to 40 MTA talmidim, accompanied by four faculty chaperones, headed to Capitol Hill recently on the annual MTAPAC Lobbying Mission to Washington, DC.

The term “Color War” usually brings to mind kids dressed in team colors and participating in activities like sports, banner making, and more. It certainly doesn’t connote a meeting about the school building’s plumbing – but at HANC High School on Wednesday, March 26, that’s exactly how Color War began. Late that morning, an announcement was made calling all students down to the gym for an update on an issue with the plumbing. That update turned out to be a Color War breakout – or so it seemed. Complete with colors, team themes, and scheduled activities, it was nothing more than a fakeout! Students had to wait until that afternoon for the real breakout and were thrilled to find out their real teams: Team Blue, representing T’filah, and Team Silver, symbolizing Torah.

Through his son’s story, Rabbi Perez emphasized the values of courage, sacrifice, and dedication to the Jewish people.

The Matzah Factory came to Lev Chana last week! The children learned all about how to make matzah, why we make matzah, and then had the chance to make their very own. They learned a lot and had a great time!
