Queens Jewish Link
Connecting the Queens Jewish Community 
Between Yom Kippur and Sukkos, the students of the Stella K. Abraham High School for Girls were inspired to actively participate in Simchas Torah by studying parshiyos of the Chumash and completing their learning in a siyum held on Simchas Torah.
On Thursday, October 3, MTA Juniors joined the Jewish Home Family’s Safely@Home program and built sukkos for those who were unable to build their own in the New Jersey Jewish community. Talmidim enjoyed participating in this program, which enables them to help community members fulfill this important mitzvah. The initiative is part of MTA’s Chesed program, which partners with local organizations to help Jewish communities in the tri-state area. MTA has worked with the Jewish Home Family for many years and was honored during the organization’s awards ceremony over the summer for devoting more than 100 hours of service to the Safely@Home program.
Continuing the Efforts to Bring Top Quality Pediatric Care to the Borough
NewYork-Presbyterian Medical Group Queens is pleased to introduce three highly-experienced board-certified pediatric specialists dedicated to enhancing pediatric care throughout the borough of Queens:
The middle school students at the Yeshiva of Central Queens (YCQ) recently participated in the school’s first Day of Chesed of the 2019-20 academic year. As part of the special program on Thursday, October 10, the students engaged in a number of activities, all of which spread a degree of warmth, love, and learning to different parts of the Queens Jewish community.
SKA’S Listen and Learn Program, launched last year, continued on Tuesday, September 24, with additional machzor screencasts added to the Yom Tov library.
Experience is the best way to learn. The fourth graders at the Bais Yaakov Academy of Queens started off the year with a science unit on matter. The girls explored triple-beam balances to understand mass. They learned about the three states of matter. The girls studied a solid ice cube and then a melting ice cube, noting properties of each state. One teacher commented, “It’s amazing to see the joy of learning light up my students’ faces! They love when the lessons become real, with a hands-on component!”
