From Pre-1A and onward, the talmidim at Yeshiva Tiferes Moshe geared up for Sukkos. The boys in Morah Libby’s Pre-1A enjoyed science class and the special lesson that coincided with esrogim. During circle time, the class spoke about what an esrog is, how it looks, feels, and smells, and then compared it to a lemon as the boys discussed similarities and differences! The boys learned how an esrog tree grows, what makes it kosher, and Morah Libby shared photographs of a real esrog farm! They learned how the esrog shown in class was not kosher because the pitum broke off. They also got a close look at an esrog from last year and saw how Hashem makes it shrivel and turn dark orange. Using magnifying glasses, the boys got to take an up-close look at an esrog and lemon. Then, the boys cut open the esrog and lemon to look inside!

Twenty-one years: the number years since that dreadful day that has forever tainted the date of September 11. Twenty-one, the number of years since our world was shaken, and our feeling of security forever taken away. Our children have been growing up in a world with lockdowns and safety drills. However, they do not remember that day or the societal changes. They were not born, most of their parents just children themselves. As we have learned, when we do not learn from history, it repeats, making it imperative for us to teach our children about that day. Following the 21^st anniversary of 9/11, and just after Yom Kippur, our holiday to remember and strive to work on being better people, the eighth grade Yeshiva of Central Queens students headed out for their yearly trip to the National September 11 Memorial and Museum.
