On Tuesday morning, November 7, Shevach High School had an exciting morning with the initiation of their Mishmeres program. Under the guidance of Mishmeres coordinator Mrs. Bayla Tropper, a campaign was launched focusing on sh’miras ha’lashon and positive speech. With the recent tragedies in Eretz Yisrael, everyone understood that these trying times place an even greater importance on guarding our speech and treating others with respect and kindness, as a special z’chus for y’shuas Hashem.

MTA had the privilege of joining YU students and roshei yeshivah for a special program commemorating the Shloshim of the October 7 massacre in Eretz Yisrael. The program included divrei chizuk, communal recitation of T’hilim, and Minchah with Avinu Malkeinu. After everyone gathered in Lamport Auditorium, everyone heard a personal account from relatives of a few of the current hostages. It hit home especially hard to hear the first-hand account from family members waiting anxiously for news about their loved ones.
