PICTURE OF THE WEEK
ARTICLE OF THE WEEK
As everyone knows, on Tuesday we celebrated the holiday of Purim. Additionally, Yeshiva Har Torah is famous for the creativity, thought and effort put into our programming. Therefore, we decided to do something never done before and we took "V'nahafoch Hu" to the next level and turned our own houses into school! This idea was apparently so popular that other schools, and entire countries, went and copied us. 

Before #HarTorahHomeschool was a thing, we enjoyed a week filled with fun pre-purim activities. Various costume theme days included pajamas, dress like a teacher, decades, and others. Nursery and Kindergarten enjoyed interactive (and comedic) musical performances, and our 8th graders packed and delivered over 160 Mishloach Manot packages to all of our faculty and staff. The highlight of the week for grades 4-8 was our Goods & Services Auction on Monday, which raises thousands of dollars per year for Matanot L'evyonim. Between both auctions we had over 70 unique prizes donated by our staff, with more than 100 winners.

If you haven't already seen, we have a daily lineup of incredibly diverse programs for all ages on our "Conviviality" page! These programs include Chizuk from Rabbi Ehrenfeld, night activities for grades 5-8, bedtime stories from our administrators, a book club, social media contests, and more! Make sure to check back several times a day as we are constantly updating our content.


We hope to see you all back in school soon, but in the meantime, we will see you all on Zoom!
