This past Motza’ei Shabbos, MTA held its annual MTA Family Melaveh Malkah, featuring Eitan Katz! This event is always a special time for families to come together to sing, dance, eat a delicious melaveh malkah, and enjoy time together. The gym was packed with talmidim and families who had an incredible time.

The month of February is one of positive awareness at Yeshiva University High School for Girls (Central), a time in which health and safety – how we can care for our own, and that of our community – takes precedence. On Wednesday, February 14, Central infused the day with meaning, participating in Sharsheret Pink Day, coordinated in part by Central’s Pink Club. Helmed by sophomore Ellie Gross and senior Gabi Zahavi, Pink Club is a beloved Central endeavor with a focus on breast cancer awareness and advocacy.

The notion that “Olam Chesed Yibaneh – This World is Built on Kindness” resonated deeply with the eighth-grade girls, who didn’t just understand it intellectually but wholeheartedly embraced it in their actions. Their commitment to providing acts of kindness for those in need was nothing short of remarkable. From eagerly opening boxes and efficiently stacking shelves to meticulously setting up produce and cheerfully checking out clients, their dedication knew no bounds.

Rabbi Wagner’s Sixth Grade talmidim at Yeshiva Tiferes Moshe enjoyed the snow storm this week and built a snowman in front of the yeshivah. It was great watching the teamwork by all to get the snowman together!

For many of the top students at yeshivah high schools all over the country, YU National Model United Nations (YUNMUN) is the climax of their year, a time to test their knowledge and skills against the best. Each school is assigned one or two countries, and its delegates are assigned each to one UN committee. The goal of the Model UN is to seriously address issues of concern in the world, work together with delegates from other countries, and pass resolutions designed to solve or at least mitigate the world’s problems.

The Bnos Malka Academy Annual Middle School Education Fair once again did not disappoint. The students showcased their research, knowledge, and creativity with elaborate Tri-Board displays. Covering the states, countries of the world, and fascinating scientific inquiry, the judges had a difficult time determining the best in each category.
