Morah Eden and Morah Hadas visited the Elementary School classes and worked with the students to write a "message in a bottle" with their hopes and dreams for the new year. The bottles will be saved and reopened at the end of the school year.

Rabbi Yaakov Nadler brought Rashi to life while explaining why Yaakov, in Sefer Bereishit, is not afraid to return home despite his brother Esav being ready to take revenge.

Esav is compared to a mountain of hay: large and intimidating. To explore their own fears, the students each wrote a few sentences in Hebrew capturing their personal fears. 

Next the class went outside and experienced the analogy of hay. With one match the entire bale of hay went up in flames. The students also burnt their sentences about fears to signify that many of our own fears are like the hay, scary and intimidating, but able to be overcome.  May we all find the fire within us!

Dear Yeshivat Noam,
For my Bat Mitzvah project I am raising money for Renewal, a Jewish organization that helps people with kidney problems find kidney donors. I chose this particular organization because my father found a kidney donor in only three days after meeting with them. Renewal found an amazing man whose kidney was a great match for my dad. We were so grateful for this miracle. The surgery was a success, but unfortunately my dad passed away shortly after due to complications following the surgery. The money raised will be used to transport the donors if they live far away. It's also used to help promote awareness for kidney donation. Kidney donation saves lives and it is a huge mitzvah!  

 

Please click here to donate to this worthy cause that has such a special place in my heart. This mitzvah is in honor and  memory of my dad, Jordan Levy, z''l.  Thank you!  

 

Sincerely,
Mattea Levy 

Hi, my name is Sara Mirwis. I was born in Houston, Texas. I moved with my family to Teaneck 5 years ago (when my older siblings were headed to Yeshiva University). My family lived in Houston for 17 years. We lived in the Young Israel neighborhood. My dad still works there and commutes every week. I am SO SO SAD because of the hurricane. So many people and friends I know have been flooded and have lost all of their things : (

I decided that for my Bat Mitzvah I will collect as many children's books as possible and send them with my dad each week to the different neighborhoods and schools. That way all of the children of Houston can have books to read (and hopefully also keep them a little distracted from the sadness around them).
If you can donate a new or like new children's book you can help me with this project.

My mom said she can pick up from anyone's home if they need (her cell: 713-545-3684). OR, you can drop it on our front porch as well (1270 Fayette Street).

Thank you for reading this and thank you if you are able to help the children in Houston.
