Today, Dr. Marvin Resmovits visited our 4th and 5t

Today, Dr. Marvin Resmovits visited our 4th and 5th graders to teach them about puberty and body safety. Dr. Resmovits a renowned pediatrician in Great Neck who also volunteers his time to teach students in community schools. He spoke about puberty, what it is and what the boys could expect during this time. Some topics covered were acne, growth plates, sweat glands, boys anatomy and how to stay safe and ask for help. Dr. Resmovits answered questions patiently and we are so grateful to have had this opportunity to learn and discuss these sensitive topics with a medical professional.

☔️ U is for umbrella ☔️ Morah Tzieti's Pr

☔️ U is for umbrella ☔️ Morah Tzieti's Pre-K had such fun using their umbrellas on Friday. Motzie Shabbat story time. 🌧 "The Rain Maker" 🌧
Published in The Story Teller by Nissan Mindel. Now that the rainy season has begun (in Eretz Yisroel the first rains called Yoreh begin to fall in the month of Mar-Cheshvan), let us tell you the story of Abba Chilkiah, the "Rain-maker," which the Talmud (Taanith 23 a-b) tells us. We call him the "Rain-maker," but, of course, he did not make rain, for only G‑d makes rain. Abba Chilkiah only brought the rain down when it was needed. You surely know that the most precious thing to a land, especially the Land of Israel, is not gold and silver, but water. If the rains do not come in their due season, the fields and woods become parched, the crops fail to grow, and the people are faced with a terrible famine. Man and beast have no water to drink. So, rain means both water and food, and a shortage of rain means a shortage of both food and drink. Rain makes all the difference between a year of plenty or of poverty, not only for the farmer, but for the whole country. In the days of the Tanaim, the great sages of the Mishnah, there lived in the Holy Land, saintly men to whom the sages and leaders of the people turned in time of distress to pray for G‑d's mercy. These saintly men, because of the saintliness of their lives and learning, could accomplish miracles with their prayers. One of these humble saints was Abba Chilkiah. He was a grandson of Choni HaM'agel, the "Circle-drawer", who was also a famed rain-maker through prayer. He was called the "Circle-drawer," because when rain was needed, he would draw a circle around him and pray to G‑d, saying he would not move out of the circle until rain came. Abba Chilkiah was a plain laborer, who would hire himself out by the day as a farm-hand. He and his family were content with the bare necessities of life, so he worked only as much as was necessary to provide for these necessities, and the rest of the time he studied the Torah.

Today our students visited The Queens Botanical Ga

Today our students visited The Queens Botanical Garden! Field trips are an important part of Elementary education. Students learn while experiencing and visiting interesting places. We learned about different plants that grow in our neighborhood and even planted seeds to take home! We also got to see robins and birds nests and even a bat's house that helps with mosquito control.

A mother’s love is unconditional and only grows

A mother’s love is unconditional and only grows stronger over a lifetime. These quotes about moms sum up the enormous amount of love they have for us and their eternal friendship. “A mother is your first friend, your best friend, your forever friend.” – Unknown “Mother is a verb. It’s something you do. Not just who you are.” – Dorothy Canfield Fisher “Moms are the people who know us the best and love us the most.” – Unknown “A mother’s love is the fuel that enables a normal human being to do the impossible” – Marion C. Garretty. “Mother’s love is peace. It need not be acquired, it need not be deserved.” – Erich Fromm “For a mother is the only person on earth who can divide her love among 10 children and each child still have all her love.” – Unknown “A mother is she who can take the place of all others but whose place no one else can take.” – Cardinal Mermillod

🎂 Happy Birthday Mimi and Lielle 🎂 What are

🎂 Happy Birthday Mimi and Lielle 🎂 What are Jewish birthday customs? The Ben Ish Chai (First Year, Parshat Re’eh, Halachah 17) says that some have the custom to make a YomTov every year on their birthday, as a propitious time, and that the Ben Ish Chai himself had such a practice in his household.
Based on the teachings of the Lubavitcher Rebbe 🎈1. The Shabbat before the Birthday get called up to the Torah (only for males over Bar Mitzvah). Fathers and Husbands can do this for their daughter's and wive's. 🎈 2. Celebrate with a Birthday Party. One has the very special apportunity of causing all the guests to do a Mitzvah in honor of ones birthday. 🎈 3. Have everyone make a Bracha on the food and drinks. If possible make a sehchiyanu (not during sefirat ha'omer.) 🎈 4. Share a Torah thought to the participants. 🎈 5. Recite one or more of the 12 verses of Torah 🎈 6. Give Tzedaka - charity in honor of ones birthday. 🎈 7. To take upon oneself a new resolution (another Mitzvah) that one will begin keeping from that day onwards. 🎈 8. To recite ones new chapter of the Tehillim corresponding to ones age.
Wishing you a wonderful year filled with revealed brachot from HK"BH. 🥳
