Schools

Bnos Malka Academy has recently been host to some very important guests. Our eighth graders have been meeting with and interviewing survivors of the Holocaust. Set up in the multi-purpose room, using state-of-the-art video equipment, the girls have been videoing and recording our grandparents’ and great-grandparents’ important stories so that they are not forgotten.

Our eighth grade had an amazing experience this week. The grade was divided up into groups and had the opportunity to interview Holocaust survivors. The students prepared extensively for these interviews. The students studied their survivors’ biographies and used them to prepare questions that would discuss the survivors’ memories from before, during, and after the war.

To get everyone in the Purim spirit, the students and staff of IVDU LI were treated to a special Pre-Purim Chagigah, with amazing music and dancing! Special thank you to DJ Ezra Eliyahu and singers David and Yisrael for providing the best entertainment.

Students In New 2022 Music Video
‘Purim Crashers’

International singing sensation Gad Elbaz surprised the Yeshiva of Central Queens (YCQ) Junior High School (JHS) students with an epic surprise experience. On Tuesday, March 1, JHS students were asked to assemble in the gym, dressed in festive Purim costume, for a mystery activity. The students did not know what was planned and were shocked and thrilled to find out that they were to be included in international singing sensation Gad Elbaz’s new Purim video. Entitled “Purim Crashers,” the music video was released Monday, March 14.

This past week, HANC High School Principal Rabbi Slomnicki, along with Director of Israel Guidance Rabbi Avraham Ismach, visited our Alumni spending the year studying in various yeshivos and seminaries.

Juniors and Seniors of the Stella K. Abraham High School for Girls spent a fascinating and illuminating morning on Thursday, March 10, contemplating what goes into dressing modestly. Sponsored by SKA’s MACS (Modesty Awareness Committee by Students), part of the school’s LEV (Living Enhanced by Values) initiative, the program was a resounding success in many ways.
