This week, Kitah Gimel celebrated a special milestone: the beginning of learning Sh’moneh Esrei! To mark the occasion, the girls dressed in white shirts and Shabbos shoes and set off on a “royal trip.” Using their imagination, they journeyed through the school as if entering a grand palace, making their way into the throne room and standing before the King. They spoke about how each step of davening brings us closer to Hashem, until Sh’moneh Esrei, when we are standing directly before Him.

Ezra Academy kicked off the school year with an energetic and meaningful Theme Breakout centered on the timeless message of “Olam Chesed Yibaneh” – “The world is built on acts of kindness.” The event brought the entire student body together in a celebration that mixed spirit, service, and school-wide unity.

September is a month of beginnings at Yeshiva University High School for Girls (Central), and one of the highlights of the early semester is Back to School Night. This year’s event, which took place on Monday, September 15, gave parents the opportunity to step into their daughters’ shoes and walk through a full day of classes. Another sign of the new year was Club Fair, which took place on Thursday, September 18. From performing arts clubs to academic teams and everything in between, the event gave students the chance to recruit club members – and gave new and existing YUHSG students a chance to branch out and try something new.
