Schools

The Yeshiva of Central Queens (YCQ) marked Yom HaZikaron with meaningful and age-appropriate ceremonies for our students in grades 3-8. Students honored the memory of fallen soldiers and victims of terrorism and were inspired by the heroic sacrifices they made to ensure the establishment and continuation of Medinat Yisrael. Students in grades 5-8 had the special opportunity to hear from Yehonatan Asayag, an IDF soldier who grew up in Queens.

At YSZ HS for Girls, we commemorated two significant days of reflection and celebration. On Yom HaZikaron, the girls watched a powerful and emotional video depicting the lives of chayalim in the aftermath of October 7. The program was both moving and meaningful: an opportunity to honor those we’ve lost and express deep gratitude to the soldiers who continue to fight for the Jewish nation.

At Yeshiva Har Torah, the days of Yom HaZikaron and Yom HaAtzmaut are brought to life through immersive, meaningful programming that reflects the school’s deep commitment to fostering a genuine connection to the State of Israel.

To the Esteemed Faculty of Yeshiva University High School for Boys:

Grades 5-8 at Yeshiva Tiferes Moshe marked Rosh Chodesh with lively celebrations, made even more special by the addition of the Ki Heim Chayeinu Pesach raffles. Mazal Tov to all the raffle winners, and yasher koach to every talmid who took part in the Pesach program!

The excitement was palpable all day at Lev Chana and HALB as students and teachers celebrated Israel’s 77^th birthday. At Lev Chana, the entire school building was transformed into different cities in Israel. Students made their very own passports, boarded their flight, and landed at Ben Gurion Airport!
