Is there anything better than MTA Mishmar Madness? This past week, the yeshivah held its first of these highly anticipated events, which extend the regular Thursday night mishmar program through inspiring shiurim, beautiful singing, great food, and amazing activities.

Shevach High School brought in Aseres Y’mei T’shuvah with an inspiring and motivating yom iyun. Mrs. Shulamith Insel, Menaheles, opened the program by stressing that during the Yamim Nora’im, Hashem is not only our Judge, but He is our greatest Advocate as well. “Melech Chafetz BaChayim” – He wants us to merit life. He wants us to succeed.

Junior high school girls at SINAI at YCQ are all prepared for the rituals and significance of Yom Kippur.

Middle School STEM is off to a great start this year! Sixth graders learned about LEDs and made their own glow sticks. They were also challenged to build a tower of spaghetti that could hold a marshmallow on top. The tallest tower wins! In seventh grade, students had to design and build a case using minimal materials that would protect a balloon from popping when dropped from a high window. Looks like we have some future engineers here at HALB!

Lev Chana students are very busy making projects for Sukkos. They’re very proud of the decorations and flags they’re working on and can’t wait to bring them home!

Lev Chana was thrilled to welcome back farmer Shoshi Ehrenreich from Grow Torah. Children love working in the garden and learning Torah and brachos while growing flowers and vegetables. Over the summer, Farmer Shoshi harvested vegetables and herbs from the Lev Chana garden and brought them to the Hewlett Food Bank. Last week, Lev Chana children had the chance to pick their own vegetables and make the brachah before eating them fresh from the vine!
