YTM Says Thank You To The IDFThis week, the boys in multiple classes at Yeshiva Tiferes Moshe had the opportunity to express their hakaras ha’tov to the IDF in Eretz Yisrael with a special arrangement led by Ms. Tova Friedman. After the boys wrote meaningful letters and drew encouraging pictures, the notes were sent on a flight straight to a special forces unit stationed in Gaza. The boys were excited to thank the soldiers, and to tell them that we are davening for them, and so thankful that they are on the front lines to protect us. We are davening and saying T’hilim, and should see only b’soros tovos.

Rabbi Hersh Kasirer’s Seventh Grade class is heavily involved, behind the scenes, earning many z’chuyos for klal Yisrael at this critical time. No question, the boys are upgrading their davening, saying T’hilim, learning Torah, and performing mitzvos bein adam l’chaveiro, and we know that it is making a big difference. The excellent test grades show everyone is reaching higher and higher. It helps that the class is in the middle of the exciting “Battle of the Big Brains,” a machlokes between Rav Yosef and Rabbah, with each Amora making several attempts to resolve this argument. It helps that we are in the middle of hilchos t’filin, very exciting halachos in preparation for the boys’ bar mitzvahs. The ruach in class is one of optimism and pride to be part of our amazing nation.
