Students, parents and alumni joined Rav Yair and Tanya HaLevi for an evening slichot program this past Saturday night. The program encouraged personal reflection and introspection. It also featured inspiration and spirited dancing. Thank you to all those who attended this beautiful slichot program.
Hodaya and Shilat, the shlichot at Ulpana, put together a beautiful program to get the girls ready for Yom Kippur and Sukkot. The school was divided into groups and they watched a movie about the last year's events and learned about the meaning of "Unetaneh Tokef." They were then given the opportunity for Cheshbon Hanefesh in preparation for their tefillah on Yom Kippur. That was followed by a chidon on Chag-related trivia. Congratulations to team Rimon and the Room 4 girls on their win! The program concluded with a beautiful presentation on Tefillah. Thank you Hodaya, Shilat and Morah Tanya for a beautiful and spiritually uplifting program!
YOC's grade 12 students built a significant number of sukkahs within our community over the past week. Working together in teams, they were thorough yet efficient. Thank you to Eli Woodrow, Zev Wiesenthal and Yishai Dishy for their behind-the-scenes organization.
