Remembering 9-11
  

As the tenth anniversary of the terrorist attack of 9-11 approaches, the Torah Academy Middle School Division spoke about tragedy and loss. Rabbi Chaim Glazer told the boys, "It is important for us to fully appreciate how much Hashem loves us and how every event in our lives, happy and sad, is part of a great Divine Plan. We can't possibly fathom Hashem's reasons for these events, but we can rest assured that every Mitzva and act of chessed we do, and every word that we daven with kavana, has tremendous powers to protect K'lal Yisroel during these uncertain times."     

 
Middle School Milestones
  

The first of many Onegs took place last Shabbos as Rabbi Glazer and his Talmidim sang, ate and enjoyed learning and spending time together in a less formal environment. "It is so important to connect to the students on a number of levels," said Rabbi Glazer. The students especially had a great Shabbos learning and spending time outside of the classroom," he added.

"The Oneg was amazing. It was great being with my friends outside of the classroom. I hope we continue to have many more, said Elisha Burack." 

 
Elementary Insights

Mrs. Abramowitz shared her favorite book, "The Giving Tree," with the second grade during last week's show and tell. "Show and Tell is a special time for special announcements and a way for the children to express themselves and have a voice in the classroom," said Mrs. Abramowitz.   

 
Early Childhood Encounters

 

 

 

 

This week, the Early Childhood began a weekly program titled "Movement and Development". The classes took turns enjoying Morah Menucha's fun activities; including a balancing beam and bouncing on mini trampolines. "The activities are designed for younger children in order to help advance their gross motor development," said Mrs. Askotzky. "This program is exciting and perfect for developing these important skills and reaching these motor skills milestones," said Morah Hodaya.  

 
Overheard at Torah Academy

 

 

 

 

The fourth and fifth grade girls had a special opportunity to learn about the halachos and significance of the Mezuzah with Rabbi Baumann. From the inside and out, Rabbi Baumann shared the halachic details of the writing and proper hanging of the Mezuzah. 

 

 

 

 
Shofar Blowing at Torah Academy

 

 

Rabbi Elbaz shared his Shofar blowing skills with the entire school as he went from class to class to usher in the month of Elul. "It is a special way for me to contribute to the Torah learning at the school. I enjoy seeing the children engage in such a holy experience," added Rabbi Elbaz
