1st graders received their Sifrei Ariyot and immediately jumped into learning the first three vowels. They learned that the sound of "Ahhhh," which we say when we go to the doctor, is actually a vowel. Doctor Morah checked that all the children are well and Baruch Hashem, they all were!

PTA HAPPENINGS



During these difficult times, it’s especially important for us to seize moments of festivity and joy when we can. To celebrate Rosh Chodesh Cheshvan, the PTA sponsored a special treat of chocolate chip cookies for all faculty and students. Yum!

In honor of Parshat Noach, the PTA sponsored a live animal show for our Pre-K and Kindergarten students. The children had a blast!

AN EVENING OF SOLIDARITY



On Tuesday evening, YHT parents and administration came together in a moving and meaningful night of solidarity with Israel. We united in tefilot and Torah, heard personal reflections from our Bnot Sherut, and shared for recommendations for chesed opportunities and self-care.

Thank you to all our speakers, especially the Bnot Sherut, who shared their grief and what it means to be away from home and their families during this time. Thank you to Rabbi Menchel and Rabbi Ehrenfeld for their words of inspiration and learning, and to Dr. Feinberg for her much-needed suggestions for how we can all take care of ourselves in times of difficulty.

Thanks to all of the parents who wrote messages to chayalim to provide words of chizuk, and to Mayor Adams and Congresswoman Grace Meng to express appreciation for their support. Thank you to Ephi Strazynski, Rafi Allman, Sam Krieger, Daniella Rafael, and maintenance and security crews for helping the evening to run smoothly, and to Avromi Gorokhuv for design work.
