Schools

On a recent Monday afternoon, Rabbi Uri Sklar opened his home to his eighth-grade class at Yeshiva Tiferes Moshe for the talmidim to enjoy a special winter barbecue, albeit with fantastic weather! The boys got involved and helped prepare the barbecue delights. The close-knit peers enjoyed playing basketball, football, ping pong, Ga-ga, and Step It Up, the Jewish dance game.

A technology microgrant from the Jewish Education Project has enabled Mercaz Academy to create their first Media Lab in the form of a video recording studio, complete with a new iPad for recording and editing, a green screen, a teleprompter, and a drone for aerial recording.

The third-grade girls’ Purim Play was a success! Lower school students, teachers, and parents had the chance to watch the story of King Achashveirosh, Queen Esther, and Mordechai. The girls did a wonderful job!

Yeshiva Tiferes Moshe recently celebrated the completion of the V’Shinantam L’Vanecha chazarah program organized for the seventh and eighth grades. Sixty Junior High talmidim reviewed and memorized the shakla v’tarya of several blatt Gemara learned throughout the year. The boys have been earning tickets for each half an amud completed, that are redeemable at “The Store” for delicious treats. The project concluded this past week with an exhilarating trip to the Poconos for a day of snowtubing at Camelback Resort.

Rabbi Mendelson’s shiur had a meaningful, fun, and unique experience this past Shabbos in Brooklyn. The talmidim joined Rabbi Mendelson in his hometown of Marine Park, Brooklyn, joining him in his k’hilah, and seeing many of the unique attractions.

At the conclusion of a Junior High assembly on Thursday afternoon, students were genuinely shocked as Rabbi Landsman suddenly proclaimed breakout for CW (Color War) 5784. The students loudly cheered as the teams Tzafon/Bitachon (Green) vs. Darom/Emunah (Orange) and their respective leaders were announced.
