Just thrilled
Just thrilled: to
have been present last Thursday evening for The Cooper Yeshiva High School for
Boys Night of learning. Fifteen young
men presented oral and written d’vrei Torah on topics that they have been
learning lishma – on their own, outside of class, just to fulfill their yearning
to learn Torah. They learned with
rabbis, community members, and members of the Yeshiva Gedola. They brought scholarship and fresh ideas to
their topics. Their printed booklet and
source sheets kept everyone involved. It
was a night to remember and to seek to replicate many times in the future. click on the link below to see what you missed!

Just thrilled: to
have been invited to the Early childhood’s Pesach party where children and their
parents and extended family had the opportunity to color, do crafts projects,
play games, snack, and generally interact in a wonderfully positive way. Kudos
to the teachers who designed and monitored the activities. This was in addition to the model seders
these children had early in the day.
Just thrilled: to
have watched the second grade Pesach play performed entirely in Hebrew. The
students were wonderful. They enunciated
their parts with dramatic flare, and danced and sung with delight. They were beautifully attired in bright costumes,
and the scenery visually recreated ancient Egypt. All in all a delightful event.
Just thrilled: to learn that Dovid Yehoshua Samuels has
had his sixth poem published this year. Here
