Happy Hanukah From MDYHS!
As we prepare for Hanukah at MDYHS, Rabbi Joey Haber made sure that "before we make the holiday light for ourselves, we make it light for everyone else". So, in front of the entire school, and
Chai Lifeline Representative Mrs. Chaya Chana Max, in a Toy Drive organized by our
Philanthropy Club President, Grace Jammal, we presented all the gifts our students bought and wrapped for children involved in Chai Lifeline!
And continuing the theme of giving, we held our Bi-Annual Blood Drive, run by our student organizers,
Danielle Betesh, Rozie Shamah, Jacqueline Sasson, and Ezra Mann. It saw an amazing turnout of students, alumni, teachers, and neighbors. Tizku L'Mitzvot!
