This week, we marked one year since the tragic events of October 7, and the pain, suffering, and loss that have continued since then. To commemorate the day, HALB had various programs throughout the school day geared toward the different ages of students. HALB classes started the day United in Tefilah with other yeshivas over Zoom. Among other things, students participated in a balloon release, sang beautiful songs, watched a video of all the chesed and positivity they did for Israel over the year, and ended the day with a school-wide kumzitz. It was truly a beautiful and meaningful day. When the world is filled with darkness, we will stand proud as Jews and be the light.
