פרשת תולדות

Erev Shabbat Candle Lighting: 4:17 PM

Motzaei Shabbat: 5:25PM

7th & 8th graders came together in unity with hundreds of thousands of others in Washington DC to show support for Israel and lobby for the safety of our brothers and sisters. Students back at school also showed their solidarity by watching some of the live stream in their classrooms.

In cleaning up our Grow Torah garden, we learned about keeping our plants healthy and removing any diseased or rotting material. This also helps prepare for next season's crops.

THE WEEK IN REVIEW

The PTA was busy this week extending some TLC to students at home and in our nation’s capital. The PTA was proud to sponsor a Rosh Chodesh Kislev kumsitz for students in grades 3-6. Thank you to Craig Resmovits for leading everyone in unified song. The PTA also provided bagels and cookies for our seventh and eighth graders, staff, and parent volunteers who represented YHT at the rally in Washington, DC.

Thank you to everyone who made the past weekend’s Yom Chesed such a wonderful success! Thank you to the committee co-chairs, Tina Adler, Marissa Fries, and Danielle Mizrahi; and to volunteers Adina Frank, Tzipi Hanina, Sahar Krihely, Terry Lowenstein, Davida Schlessel, Nini Slochowsky, Melissa Strazynski, Mira Wachstock, and Judy Yadgar.
