Heritage Day at YSZ HS for Girls began on Friday morning, April 4, with a heartfelt address from Mrs. Rina Zerykier, Menahelet of the school. The administration and faculty were honored to welcome the grandmothers of the student body. Mrs. Zerykier framed Pesach as the ultimate holiday of memory and hope—a time to reflect on where we’ve been and to envision where we’re going.

Rabbi Doron Perez delivered an inspiring and heartfelt speech to the MTA talmidim, sharing both personal reflections and professional insights. Rabbi Perez began by honoring the memory of his son, Daniel, a fallen soldier in the IDF, who heroically gave his life during the tragic events of October 7. Through his son’s story, Rabbi Perez emphasized the values of courage, sacrifice, and dedication to the Jewish people.
