Message from the Deans
 
As we reflect on the past year, we are inspired by the joint accomplishments  of our devoted faculty and dedicated parent body at Torah Academy. Together we are  creating a quality Judaic and secular studies academic program as well as a strong focus on the highest levels of Menchlichkeit that continue to make profound differences in the lives of our children.  
 
We are humbled by the many friends and volunteers who  partner with us in this sacred work.

Torah Academy's 3rd Annual Golf Tournament-
A Closer Look 

Not only is the golf tournament one of the major fundraisers of the year but it has also proven to be of the most enjoyable days as well. "It is truly a first class event," said Dr. Baruch Galbut, Golf committee chair. Along with Baruch Galbut, other members of the committee, including Avi Frohlich, Josh Herschberg , Yaakov (Jason) Lyons and Rabbi Ben Sugerman look forward to this event on a number of levels.  "I have played golf courses in the Florida area all my life and the Heron Bay Golf Club is one of the most beautiful. The course is challenging and calm. We are encouraging everyone to come out and bring friends, family and golf lovers. Sponsorships are coming in from throughout the business community and we are expecting a stellar event", he added.

The Golf Tournament will be held on Monday, October 19 at the Heron Bay Golf Club. For more information, please contact tabrgolf@gmail.com.  or  the Torah Academy office.
Pre -School Children Learn About the Shofar
 

 
Pre-K students got a head start on preparing for Rosh Hashanah. With a hands on creation of their very own Shofar, the students were able to develop their fine motor skills while appreciating the sounds of blowing the Shofar each day following Tefillah. "They learned that this is not only a school activity but a real way to celebrate the holiday at Shul," said Mrs. Gitta Guttman. 
Elementary Insights

 Mrs. Silver's third grade class was eager to start their new social studies topic -the world around them. "With a globe, maps and atlases throughout the classroom the students are excited to find their place in the world figuratively and literally," said Mrs. Silver.
Through creative play such as map games and geography the students love learning about it the world.
