It was a Sephardic Shabbat experience for this month's tisch.  Led by Rabbi Sharbat and the school's Sephardic students, all RKYHS students participated in a Sephardic tisch complete with divrei torah, Sephardic food and music, and more!



On Tuesday afternoon the freshman class had the opportunity spend time together outside the building
as a grade. Throughout the year, they have participated in freshman-specific programming to foster relationships and engender a sense of unity.  



Juniors and Seniors enjoyed nights out with their grade this week for some out of the classroom bonding.  Juniors took a trip to sky zone while the seniors enjoyed an evening of rollerskating together.
