KAPPOROS AND ESROGIM IN THE LOWER ELEMENTARY
In preparation for Yom Kippur and Sukkos, lower elementary students participated in two special activities. Prior to Yom Kippur, Mrs Liora Rosen brought a live female hen to school for the girls to experience the minhag of Kapporos, as she has for the last twenty years. The hen is affectionately known as "Henrietta"! This annual event was started by Mrs. Leah Friedman and her late husband Reb Lipa z"l, over thirty years ago, to teach American children how Kapporos was done in the "alter heim" (lt. old home) in Europe, and is still practiced by many in Klal Yisroel today. This hands-on activity excites the students and truly brings yiddishkeit to life.
Mrs. Dorie Lauer, a second grade Morah, extended an invitation to her father, Mr. Darrell Zaslow, to come share his lifelong passion of growing Esrogim with the entire second grade. Our talmidos were able to see a beautiful Esrog while it was still attached to the limb of the tree and to learn more about how it grows. The highlight of the morning came when dozens of Esrog leaves were distributed to the girls. Mr. Zaslow asked all the girls to rip the leaves, make a bracha and smell the beautiful aroma that emerges from the leaves. It is
most amazing to see Hashem's fruit growing before our eyes!

THE MIDDLE SCHOOL MISASKIM TEHILIM ASIFA
BYMS participated in the annual Misaskim Tehillim Asifa (Gathering) during Aseres Yemai Teshuva, which was held on Thursday, October 6th. The Asifa was streamed live from the Bobov Beis Medrash in Boro Park, thanks to the efforts of Mr. Avrohom Klugman and Mrs. Miriam Schechter. The BYMS students joined thousands of young children reciting Tehillim for all those in need of a refuah or yeshuah. Through this program our girls were given the opportunity to see and feel that they are very much part of a greater whole. We were able to bring into our hallowed halls the resounding sounds of heartfelt Tehillim and tefillos led by great talmidei chachomim who are leaders in Klal Yisroel. It was an inspiring 60 minutes of davening and connecting with Hashem, as it is every year.
