Today, we commemorated October 7th with meaningful, age-appropriate programming centered on achdus, tefillah, and ืื”ื‘ืช ื™ืฉืจืืœ.

Our younger students reflected on the tremendous achdus of Klal Yisrael, while our 4th and 5th graders gathered for Tehillim, Acheinu, and the ืžื™ ืฉื‘ืจืš ืœื—ื™ื™ืœื™ื, followed by learning in small chaburas about strengthening ืื”ื‘ืช ื™ืฉืจืืœ through our daily actions.

Every student also took on a mitzvah connected to ืื”ื‘ืช ื™ืฉืจืืœ and created a puzzle piece for our communal mitzvah projectโ€”a reminder that each of us plays a part in strengthening Klal Yisrael. ๐Ÿ‡ฎ๐Ÿ‡ฑ๐Ÿ’™

Our 3rdโ€“5th graders had the special opportunity, thanks to our JPO, to hear from Sam Salz, the first Orthodox Jewish Division I college football player! ๐Ÿˆ

Sam shared his inspiring story of perseverance, resilience, and staying proudly committed to Torah and mitzvos while pursuing his goals. As we head into Sukkos, his message reminded us that our true strength comes from Hashem and that we can make a Kiddush Hashem wherever we go.

Thank you, Sam and our JPO, for this meaningful experience! ๐Ÿ’™ Sam Salz

Our second graders are beginning a special unit on ืฉื•ืจืฉื™ื (roots) in Chumash! To bring the concept to life, the students planted their own seeds and will watch as the roots begin to growโ€”just as they begin growing their own Chumash skills and understanding.

We wish our second graders much hatzlacha as they embark on this exciting Chumash learning journey! ๐Ÿ“–๐ŸŒฑ
