Yudavision

Rosh Hashana is in a relatively few moments. Your children have their projects, Divrei Torah, and lessons that they learned in school in preparation for this special Yom Tov. Nevertheless, there is always an added dimension that only parents can bring. Here is a video with some cool and meaningful ways you can help make Rosh Hashana relevant and special in your children’s life.

Wishing you a year of blessing and success,

Team Yavneh

In commemoration of 9/11, Rabbi Dear put together a most powerful assembly for Grades 6-8. Through the use of multimedia, Rabbi Dear gave a history and backdrop to the day and also focused on the theme of accepting difference. Certainly as we are just steps away from Rosh Hashana, this lesson in Bein Adam L’chaveiro (between man and fellow man) is critical. It is important as educators, parents, and influencers that we keep our child connected to what is happening in the global community. We don’t live in a vacuum.

Rabbi Dear presenting to students

Here attached is the audio of my words to the students:

Thank you,

Rabbi Shlomo Einhorn

Dean and Rav of Yavneh

Speakers included Rav Shlomo Einhorn, Rav and Dean of Yeshivat Yavneh, Rav Gershon Bess, Morah D’asra Kehillas Yaakov, and Rav Avrohom Ausband, Rosh Yeshiva Telshe Alumni of Riverdale.

A special thanks to Reuven Fauman for recording the event.
