Yavneh Academy is excited to announce a new way for everyone to earn money for our school.

You can now shop at Amazon.com, BN.com (Barnes & Noble) and BestBuy.com through the new Yavneh Academy shopping website. Every dollar you spend will result in commission paid to the school. (On average Yavneh earns 5% of your purchase.)

It costs you nothing. Just by shopping at these sites, using Yavneh's links, the school earns commissions!

Trickle down economics at work!  The more you, your parents, your extended family, and friends use this shopping website, the more Yavneh earns. Spread the word! Again, it does not cost you anything!

It takes so little time to raise money for Yavneh and you can do it  anytime, anywhere. It's  that easy!

If there will be a change in a student's regular transportation on a particular day, a written note must be submitted to the Education Office in the morning. All notes must include the child's full name, class, bus number, and new method of transportation. Calls will NOT be accepted after 2:00 p.m. STUDENTS MAY NOT SWITCH BUSES.   

After learning about kashrut as part of the Chumash curriculum, the seventh grade students then had the opportunity to put their classroom learning into action and kasher chickens here at Yavneh. The day began with our students viewing a brief video prepared by the Empire corporation which detailed the entire process of making a chicken fit to eat.  From there, our students headed outside, where each student was given his or her own chicken to kasher.  The students then moved on to the process of hadacha (soaking the chickens for half an hour), melicha (salting the chickens), and hadacha shnia (a second rinse and soaking of the chickens).

Later in the day,

Rabbi Chaim Loike, rabbinic coordinator at the Orthodox Union and expert on birds and eggs, as well as instructor in practical shechitah at YU, addressed our 7th graders. Rabbi Loike explained kashrut issues of certain birds and the students were able to observe turtle doves, quail, a partridge, and finches.

Although the fields were wet, Lag B'Omer was celebrated Yavneh style with learning and lots of fun. 

SNOW WHITE.mp4

The Yavneh Acting club, led by director Shelli Sussman, performed Snow White and the Seven Dwarves at the Teaneck General Store for a group of senior citizens as well as family. The play put a modern spin on the well-known fairy tell, and it allowed for the girls' creative talents to shine. The girls were very positively received, with one woman even asking to join the group! Following the play, Mr. Bruce Prince, owner of the store - and grandfather of Talya Wimpfheimer, one of the stars of the play - led a very interesting discussion between the students and the senior citizens about the differences between growing up in Teaneck in the 1940s and 1950s compared to today. Our students eagerly asked questions, and were fascinated to hear about life in Bergen County from so long ago. A great time was had by our students, and they thoroughly enjoyed this chesed opportunity.
