On Tuesday, October 10, HANC Middle School held its Names, Not Numbers© program. Names, Not Numbers is a copyrighted oral history film project and curriculum that Mrs. Tova Fish-Rosenberg created, which takes the teaching of the Holocaust and its lessons well beyond many previous efforts. Through the Names, Not Numbers© program, HANC’s eighth-grade students had the opportunity to document the teachings of the Holocaust and address questions about an individual’s responsibility to humanity.

It’s a moment of excitement and pride when the Central community welcomes newcomers into the building. On Sunday, October 15, Central faculty, staff, and students had a chance to do just that during the school’s annual Open House. Wildcats extended a warm welcome to prospective eighth-grade students and their families with a taste of life at YUHSG.

Coloring books, crayons, personal letters, assemblies, care packages, T’hilim, individual and class-wide kabalos are all among the varied things the girls at Bnos Malka are doing in response to the horrific events in Israel.

Yeshiva Har Torah’s eighth-grade girls participated in a communal challah bake, coordinated by their Director of Student Activities, Mr. Rafi Allman, and hosted by their dedicated teacher, Morah Tzippy Erblich, during the sacred week leading up to Yom Kippur, known as Aseres Y’mei T’shuvah. The event offered these young students the opportunity not only to acquire knowledge, but also to immerse themselves in the hands-on practice of the mitzvah of making and separating challah.
