Rosh HaYeshiva’s Chinuch Haggadah Is Published TALMIDIM “ADOPT” HOLOCAUST SURVIVORS The Yeshiva’s eighth grade talmidim were addressed by Mr. Irving Roth this fall. Mr. Roth, a survivor of the Holocaust, is the founder of the Adopt-A-Survivor project. As in previous years, the talmidim are going to interview Holocaust survivors, whom they will “adopt” — researching and presenting their unique stories of heroism and survival. Each boy is also committed to perpetuating his adopted survivor’s story by retelling it to the next generation. The Chinuch Haggadah was published by ArtScroll/ Mesorah shortly before Pesach. Authored by the Rosh HaYeshiva, Rav Yaakov Bender, the Haggadah contains the full text of the Haggadah and translation, plus an extensive English peirush that features his illuminating explanations, a wealth of stories, and practical life lessons for every contemporary parent, educator, and member of Klal Yisrael that are relevant year-round. Containing 278 pages, it is available in hardcover at Judaica retailers or at Darchei.org/Shop, where the Rosh HaYeshiva’s other books, Chinuch with Chessed and Chinuch with Heart can also be purchased. A GADOL B’YISRAEL INSPIRES THE YESHIVA Shortly before Rosh Hashana, the Yeshiva was graced by a visit from Harav Reuven Feinstein, shlita, the revered Rosh Yeshiva of the Yeshiva of Staten Island. Rav Feinstein addressed the entire Yeshiva, from third grade through Beis Medrash, offering divrei chizuk in advance of the Yamim Noraim. All of the talmidim wore white shirts for the illustrious occasion. After his remarks, Rav Feinstein remained to greet every single rebbi and talmid. Parshas Noach Comes Alive at Preschool The talmidim of the Harriet Keilson Early Childhood Center got a glimpse of what the Teivah of Noach must have looked like when a delegation of farm animals arrived at the Yeshiva’s parking lot. The children were able to pet and feed the animals, including cows, sheep, goats, ducks, chickens, and a pheasant, making the parshas hashavua come to life. BEDARCHEI HATORAH WINTER 5780/2020 13
