In the midst of ongoing conflict in Israel, YSZ High School stands together, working tirelessly to assist our Israeli brothers and sisters.
Turning To T’filah: When times are tough, t’filah becomes our guiding light. Mrs. Zerykier leads daily minchah gatherings, where our school community recites T’hilim, the misheberach l’chayalim, and other heartfelt t’filot. Not only that, but our girls have also compiled a beautiful T’hilim set and have already completed the entire Sefer T’hilim multiple times!
Sending Love To Our Soldiers: Our YSZ girls have gone the extra mile to show their unwavering support for Israeli soldiers. They’ve crafted heartwarming care packages filled with chocolates and hundreds of handwritten letters. These letters express our admiration for their bravery, heartfelt thanks, and well wishes for their hatzlachah. Together, we stand strong, united in prayer and support for our brothers and sisters in Israel.
The girls spent a few days writing letter after letter, and then creating a tremendous packaging line-up in the student center. After creating myriads of packages, the girls bundled them into boxes, and they were sent off to the soldiers!
Challah Bake: The next big project that the girls undertook was a school-wide challah bake. All day Thursday, the girls were busy whipping up challah dough during their classes.
After the challah rose, the entire school did hafrashat challah together. It was beautiful and moving, and an incredible z’chut! The girls then painstakingly braided their challot, forming hundreds of loaves. All the challot were then transferred to the ovens of the mechanchot, who graciously opened their homes to their students for a challah-baking party. Hundreds of fragrant loaves were then packaged and sold by the girls to the entire community! When the proceeds were totaled, it came out that baruch Hashem YSZ HS raised thousands of dollars for United Hatzalah of Israel!
