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 21st 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.
SINAI@YCQ students visited the Rebbishe store in Queens, where they learned about the arbaah minim firsthand by using their senses.

Although they have already graduated and are now learning in various yeshivos in Israel, MTA alumni reunited with their friends and rebbeim over Sukkos. Rabbi Netanel Danto hosted a Simchas Beis HaSho’eivah for MTA alumni in Jerusalem. The event was filled with simchas Yom Tov as friends caught up and shared reflections on Elul z’man and the beginning of the yeshivah year. Rabbi Dov Emerson, while attending Eitan Katz’s Live “In Jerusalem 3” concert, had the opportunity to see many former talmidim. The group gathered before the show for pictures and reminiscing, and then danced the night away together, enjoying a special evening.
