NEW TECHNOLOGY
VIDEOS EMPOWER
PARENTS
With advances in the world of technology
arriving at a dizzying pace, parents and
mechanchim are being faced with an array of
new challenges. The Yeshiva recently introduced
a new project, “The Apples of Our Eyes,” to
empower the parent body with awareness,
inspiration, and practical guidance in the
responsible use of technology—by both parents
and children.
Comprised of a series of engaging videos, the
project has to date featured our Rosh HaYeshiva,
Rav Yaakov Bender; Rav Yisroel Reisman, Rosh
Yeshiva at Torah Vodaath; Rav Elya Brudny,
Rosh Yeshiva at the Mirrer Yeshiva; and Dr.
David Pelcovitz of the Azrieli School at Yeshiva
University.
The library of videos can be accessed at

'v Is for Hatzoloh
When the kindergarten talmidim of the Harriet Keilson Early Childhood Center
began to learn about the letter “Hay” in the Alef-Beis, they were treated to a
special visit: A real Hatzoloh ambulance, parked right in front of the Yeshiva,
along with volunteer members of Hatzoloh who patiently gave each group of
children a brief tour of the inside of the vehicle, providing the boys with an
educational and memorable experience.
THE ART AND THE SCIENCE
The fifth grade students of Ms. Esther Friedman collaborated to turn their
extensive research on biomes (large, naturally occurring communities of flora
and fauna occupying major habitats) into giant works of art. The boys created
full-color murals on the tundra, temperate, marine, and desert biomes that were
displayed in their hallway for all to see and enjoy.
The Yeshiva recently lost a beloved member of the Limudei
Kodesh faculty, Rav Shmuel Krasner zt”l, who was also the rav of
the Suburban Park Jewish Center in East Meadow, NY. A brilliant
talmid chacham who was familiar with all of Shas, he devoted his life
to learning and teaching Torah and improving the lives of others. He
lived very simply and dealt with numerous personal challenges, yet he
possessed a palpable simchas hachaim in every situation. His home in
East Meadow was open to all who needed a warm meal or a listening
ear. His legacy is perpetuated by his illustrious children, David and
Daniel (both Yeshiva alumni) and Rachel and Chana. lurc urfz hvh
