Presenting Jewish students with their first siddurim is a momentous occasion, filled with anticipation, celebration, and ceremony. At the Yeshiva of Central Queens (YCQ), siddurim are presented as gifts to Grade 1 students with much fanfare. On January 9 and 16, Grade 1 classes performed songs and skits for their families, rebbeim, and moros. Rabbi Mark Landsman, YCQ Principal, led each class in davening from their own personalized siddurim. Rabbi Landsman and Rabbi Michael Ribalt (Elementary School Assistant Principal of Judaic Studies) took pictures with each student to mark the special occasion.
