Last week, Yeshiva University held its annual YUNMUN – Yeshiva University National Model United Nations – at which high school students from all over the United States and Canada – and even some from overseas – gathered to discuss the world’s problems and propose solutions. Each school was assigned one or two countries to represent, and each “delegate” was assigned to a particular UN committee.

There was a palpable sense of achdus, hakaras ha’tov, and heartfelt camaraderie at the 29th Annual Dinner of the Bnos Malka Academy. Held on Monday, March 3, at Da Mikelle Palazzo, the evening brought together parents, faculty, and supporters to celebrate the remarkable impact of the school and to honor outstanding individuals whose dedication continues to shape both the Bnos Malka family and the wider community.

At YSZ High School for Girls, learning is more than acquiring knowledge – it’s about becoming thoughtful, giving, and purpose-driven Jewish women. This year’s Book Day centered around Adam Grant’s Give and Take. It was an opportunity for students to explore how generosity and character shape success. Through engaging discussions, creative expression, and hands-on activities, they were challenged to think deeply and empowered to become lifelong learners and contributors to their communities.
