HIGHLIGHTS
BUILT FOR LIFE
Shimon Berger, a talmid of Mesivta Chaim
Shlomo and its Weiss Vocational Center, with
a table-top shtender that he built. The Weiss
Vocational Center is a trailblazing program
where a select cadre of Mesivta students spend
part of their afternoons learning trades such as
carpentry, plumbing, electrical contracting
and home wiring—
in addition to a
core curriculum
that includes
mathematics,
sciences and
language arts.
Open-and-Shut Cases
Rav Dovid Bender, Rosh Kollel of the
Yeshiva’s Kollel Tirtza Devorah, teaching the
halachos of opening bottles and packages on
Shabbos, to the seventh grade talmidim of
Rav Dovid Frischman and Rav Mutty Zeiger.
SCIENCE IN EARLY
CHILDHOOD
The Franklin Institute of Science came
to make a presentation to the Pre-1A
classes. The boys learned all about
micro-gravity and space as the scientist
demonstrated Newton’s Law of action/
reaction. Among other things, he
launched a rocket ship and showed the
boys an astronaut’s spacesuit. The event
was sponsored by the Department of
Education’s Title I program.
