Friday Candle-lighting: 8:10 PM ~ פרשת קרח

This past Tuesday evening was a special evening of celebration and recognition as we came together as one school and one voice to bid farewell to the Class of 2018! The graduates sung a beautiful cantata, followed by Rabbi Menchel who imparted words of chizuk to the students. His message was inspirational and will certainly be a guiding light for them for many years to come. It was a pleasure to hear from Ely Babayev and Talia Feldman, selected by their classmates from among the honor society inductees to speak on their behalf. They spoke about the valuable lessons they learned at YHT and the special friendships formed over the past 10 years. Lilly Baradarian and Nathaniel Nassir, selected by their classmates as the 2018 Keter Shem Tov awardees, spoke beautifully about the importance of loving each other and the many life lessons they learned during their years at YHT. The montage was a highlight of the evening which showcased the graduates' unforgettable journey at YHT, as well as their sage advice to their younger peers.
Mazal Tov to the Class of 2018! We look forward to their visiting often!

As you can see above, the success of the PTA depends on the assistance of parent volunteers like you.
Helping out the PTA, no matter how small the job, is tremendously important to Yeshiva Har Torah and our children's school experience.
The PTA provides everything from special holiday events, speakers and cultural arts programs to Rosh Chodesh treats, special lunches, and after school activities. Many of these programs would not be possible without our successful fundraisers, such as chocolate bar sales and the book fair. In addition, in a school like ours, which prides itself on bringing people together from different communities, volunteering also happens to be a great way to meet other parents.
With this school year winding down, we are already planning and gearing up for another amazing year of PTA activities!
The PTA volunteer form for next school year is available
here
.
You can choose to help out for a single program, or multiple programs, according to your availability and interest.
We are very fortunate to have had many committed parent volunteers this year, and we hope our numbers will grow next year!
Questions or concerns? Please reach out to PTA Co-Presidents Leah Fish & Lisa Schilowitz.
