The fourth-grade girls at HALB celebrated their history and connections to those who came before them at the M’dor L’dor dinner and performance last week. It was a beautiful night as daughters, mothers, grandmothers and great-grandmothers came to celebrate together. 

This past weekend, Ezra Academy students traveled to Camp Moshava for an unforgettable retreat filled with tremendous ruach, achdus, and meaningful experiences that strengthened friendships, school spirit, and community connections.

A new and meaningful chapter in the olam hachinuch is unfolding with the opening of Ateres Shoshana, a girls’ high school in Queens thoughtfully designed to meet the evolving needs of today’s talmidos. Rooted in warmth, excellence, and individualized attention, Ateres Shoshana aspires to be a true makom Torah—a place where every bas Yisroel is empowered to grow, learn, and thrive.

The countdown to the final days of school is on at the Yeshiva University High School for Girls (Central), and students are already looking toward their next chapters. The final AP exams took place this week, leadership sign-ups for next year’s clubs and organizations are underway, and the Class of 2026 is out of the building experiencing a rite of passage for YUHSG seniors: senior internships.

In celebration of Yom Yerushalayim, the Yeshiva of Central Queens (YCQ) hosted a thrilling and educational Color War for Junior High School students. Over the course of several days, students engaged in spirited competition, creative expression, and meaningful team-building activities.

For the past several years, there has been a growing interest in girls’ volleyball both within YHT and throughout the Queens yeshivah community. With the help of YHT student Sophia Lebovich, word began to spread that Coach Brian Miller was working to establish a school-based league for local yeshivah girls. Coach Miller reached out to athletic directors across Queens, Long Island, and Brooklyn. After many conversations, it became clear that building a successful league would require dedicated leadership, referees, structured rules, and, most importantly, committed schools.
