The Bais Yaakov Academy of Queens is still on a high with the memories of the recent two-week Shabbos program, The Gift of Shabbos.

The school building was transformed into a Shabbos wonderland, with artistic Shabbos bulletin boards, signs, door messages, and an entrance lobby displaying a gorgeous Gift Boutique featuring the gifts of Shabbos!

The Kindergarten children at HALB’s Lev Chana Early Childhood Program hosted special guests this week.

It is always great to have SKA girls collaborate with Lev Chana children!
