Our first annual Yom Chesed took place on Sunday in honor and in memory of Rabbi Joseph Randinsky z"l. Over 170 people came out to volunteer for a community service day. Care packages were made for oncology patients, sandwiches for shelter, cookies were delivered to firehouses, volunteers cleaned up the cemetery, and others went to visit the elderly. A big thank you to Rabbi Aaron Levitt for organizing and coordinating the event. We hope you enjoy this slideshow from a very special and meaningful day.

The Verdict Is In
This past weekend, March 16th-19th, a team of RMBA students competed in Moot Beit Din. This competition was put on by Prizmah: Center for Jewish Day Schools, and was held right here in Houston! Students Sigal Melnik, Maya Wadler, Akiva Levy, and Dan Melnik, with advisor Rabbi Asher Block, studied halacha (Jewish law) and then presented their research to a panel of judges. They had to use halachic concepts to determine a Jewish court case involving self-driving cars. T
he team met students from other Jewish schools around the US and Canada and had a great time!

George Bush Library and Museum
Students Liviya Schlachter (l) and Maya Ashlag (r) had been studying the United States Presidents. They laid out all 45 President cards on a timeline in chronological order. After choosing the first few Presidents to research, they selected a special and a favorite leader about which to read and write. To continue their research they planned a "Going Out" to the George H. W. Bush Presidential Library and Museum. Here they are sitting in the Oval Office as it was decorated for President Bush, # 41. What a great opportunity!

A Special Guest!
Kindergarten student Sivan Melnik brought in her stuffed pony as last week's special kindergarten Shabbat guest! Each week a different student brings a stuffed animal/doll from home and the class then takes some time to "meet" the guest and find out why the toy is special to the child.
