Schools

Fun is in the air at Yeshivah Primary, as our school prepares for Pesach with many fun and creative activities!

For Parshas Vayikra, Yeshivah Har Torah’s Early Childhood students learned that the Jewish people brought korbanos to say thank you to Hashem for the good in their lives. This important theme in the parshah led to a discussion about the people in YHT that the students are thankful for.

In preparation for Pesach, the Pre-1A classes at Bnos Malka Academy in Queens held a model Seder this week, giving the young students an opportunity to experience the sights, sounds, and traditions of the holiday in an age-appropriate and engaging way.

On Thursday, April 3, the cafe of the Yeshiva University High School for Girls (Central) was transformed into a winter wonderland for the Central Playhouse’s production of this year’s spring musical, Frozen. The 2013 animated film remains a childhood favorite for many Central students, and anticipation for the production was high. That Central’s spring musical is a time-honored second-semester tradition among students and faculty only added to the excitement.

In an extremely powerful and timely message before Pesach, Rabbi Yosef Mendelevitch spoke to Junior High School students at YCQ on Wednesday, April 3. He blew them away with his incredible story of m’sirus nefesh.

Last week, nine groups from HALB showcased their historical research and analytical skills at the Long Island History Day Competition, held at Hofstra University. Over the past five months, under the mentorship of social studies teacher Ms. Kristen Waterman, students meticulously crafted documentaries, websites, and museum exhibits, exploring topics related to this year’s National History Day theme: Rights and Responsibilities.
