HAFTR fifth-graders celebrate Torah study

Posted

The Hebrew Academy of the Five Towns and Rockaway Elementary School lunchroom was rocking at the fifth grade Melave Malka, a post-Shabbos celebration of Torah learning buoyed by catered food, dancing and entertainment.

Rabbi Elisha Weiss, the school fifth grade rabbi, directed the students in their Talmudic study as they delved into the laws and ordinances that regulate religious observances and the daily lives and conduct of Jewish people. 

Benny Amar provided the musical fun. Each student received a mini-shtender (book stand) to encourage their continued Torah learning.

Earlier in the week, the entire fifth grade celebrated classmates Derke Green and Solly Lobell for their completion of the global Torah study program, Mishna Yomi.
