Rabbi Yosef Chaim Sonnenfeld, zt"l, Rav of Yerushalayim, would dance with hundreds of children as he celebrated the fesƟval of Simchas Torah. One Simchas Torah, a child approached the venerable sage and asked the following quesƟon: Toward the end of Musaf we recite Ein Kelokeinu, There is none like our G‐d, There is none like our Master, followed by Mi Kelokeinu, Who is like our G‐d? Who is like our Master? Should the prayer not be reversed? Shouldn't we first ask: “Who is like our G‐d" and then respond that "There is none like our G‐d!" The Rav responded with a smile, a compliment, and the following parable: A wise individual navigates a long, darkened cave by creaƟng various markings in order to find his way back to safety. The fool, however, rushes haphazardly into the cave, fails to create a path for himself and is therefore at risk of starvaƟon or worse. So, too, explained the Rav: We are required to establish signs and boundaries for ourselves lest we stray from the derech hachaim, the proper way of life and the path of our ancestors. Thus, first and foremost, we must acknowledge: "There is none like our G‐d, there is none like our Master!" Firm in our convicƟon, we are now on the correct path – the King's Road – ready to ask: Who is like our G‐d? (See reference in this week’s parsha to derech hamelech nelech, we will travel on the King’s Road). This child was soon to leave Yerushalayim for an extended period of Ɵme and Rabbi Sonnenfeld cauƟoned him to establish his own points of reference to remember his Jewish idenƟty and the path set forth by his ancestors who preceded him. Forty years later, the child – now an adult and a Holocaust survivor – returned to Yerushalayim tesƟfying that throughout the horrors and atrociƟes of World War II he was oŌen ready to give up but each Ɵme this happened he remembered the advice of Rabbi Sonnenfeld and he never forgot his message. Indeed, he endured pain and suffering but merited to emerge from the abyss because of the boundaries he established for himself. In our lives, any transiƟon requires a plan for success. As we enter a well deserved summer vacaƟon, we, too, ought to establish signs and points of reference for our children. Youngsters of all ages thrive on rouƟne and structure. VacaƟon is a welcomed Ɵme, but it can come at a steep cost if we fail to uƟlize it properly and reinforce the past year’s producƟve schedule of learning. If we set goals, objecƟves and boundaries for our children over the summer, we will prepare them for a win‐win opportunity: a reinforcement of the past year's academics and a chance to relax a bit and energize for the coming year as well. Let’s celebrate a year of fabulous growth, development and success! And let’s also uƟlize the vacaƟon period for conƟnued growth, mechayil el chayil, from strength to strength! Have a wonderful Shabbos!

End of Year Culmina ng 6th Grade STEM Ac vity”
To end off the year in sixth grade Science, the boys did an
EGGcellent experiment. The boys were asked to create a
packing that would hold a
raw egg which would
be dropped from the school’s
roof. The container was
limited in size, but not in
material. The boys had to
consider how far and fast
the egg would fall. The goal
was to build a container that
would prevent breakage. Many
boys were successful, while
others had "egg" on their
face. No ma er how
each drop ended, the students were "cracking" up with the
ac vity!

Early Childhood Division
Last Friday, Morah Chanie and Morah Bassy’s four year olds marched
up on stage, one child at a me, adorned in lovely blue capes and
gradua on hats. For an audience of extremely proud parents,
grandparents, rela ves, siblings, and friends, their gradua on began.
Mrs. Scho enstein expressed her hakoras hatov to Hashem for placing
her in such a special seviva, first as a morah, then as an administrator
for the last 37 years. She informed everyone that she would be re ring
at the end of July and that Mrs. Rivky Wolf would be taking over as
administrator. She then expressed her hakoras hatov to the talented
moros, to the parents, to the children, and to Mr. Yudi Silber and gave
divrei brocha. Then the real program began with a medley of wonderful songs by the children whose personali es
shown through as they came up to the microphone. Next, the children all stood up behind colored hoops and followed
the songs direc ons, walking inside and outside the circles, hopping, jumping, skipping, and it was evident to all that
they were having a great me. The audience really enjoyed watching these children in ac on. The program ended
with Morah Chanie invi ng all the parents to her classroom for a party.
Many of our classes have worked on an end‐of‐the‐year project to be taken home to enjoy. Some of our classes have
even had each child create a journal, a memory of this year in preschool and of how much each has grown.
Next year, IY”H, Morah Dina Platschek and Morah Chasi Rosner will be teaching a four year old class. Morah Naomi
Compton will be taking over their three year old class for the full day. In addi on, Morah Devorah Freund and Morah
Chanie Moseson will be working together in a four year old class.
The year has come to an end and it has flown by. B”H all of our children have grown in so many ways. Most of our
k’tan‐tan children have had their upsherin and are now wearing yarmulkes and tzitzis. All of our children have grown
physically, are taller, can navigate the stairs and our playground equipment with ease, are learning how to assemble
puzzles, to cut, to color, to draw, to paint. They now have preschool friends and have learned how to be an
appropriate part of a group, how to take turns, how to share, how to communicate clearly their needs and wants, how
to problem‐solve, and how to be pa ent. They have improved their language skills and can understand and respond
properly to ques ons. They have had the skill of “using their words” modeled for them constantly by their moros.
They have grown tremendously in their enthusiasm for learning Torah, knowledge of the mitzvos, and love for
Yiddishkeit. And all of this growth is due to the hard work, dedica on, crea vity, caring, love, and devo on of their
unbelievable moros who invested this year in accomplishing all of these goals. They have toiled endlessly on our
children’s behalf, deserve our extreme hakoras hatov, and can now sit back, relax, shep nachas, and then plan for the
coming year, for a new group of Yiddishe neshamos to be molded and shaped.
We wish all our families, parents and children, a safe and relaxing summer, a me to spend with one another, enjoying
the beauty and specialness of having families together.

Yavne High School
The Yavne High School gradua on was celebrated on Monday
evening at the Beatrice Stone Yavne High School building. It was a
beau ful culmina on of the girls’ educa on and an cipa on of the
wonderful adventures that await them. We were honored to hear
inspira onal words from our Limudei Kodesh Valedictorian, Tzippy
Ma a, the Limudei Kodesh Salutatorian and General Studies
Valedictorian, Devorah Goldbaum, and the General Studies
Salutatorian, Dasi Chafetz. The Beatrice Stone Middos Award and
Scholarship is presented to a
Yavne graduate who is judged
by her teachers to be most
exemplary in good middos and
service to the school. While
there were many candidates,
this year the award went
to Devora Goldbaum. We wish
all our well‐deserving graduates hatzlacha as they con nue to go m’chayil el
chayil.
Special thanks to our MC of the program, Dr. Shlomo Koyfman. Thank you to 11th grade parent volunteers, Mrs.
Milana Gofman, Mrs. Bassy Gutman, Mimi Solomon and Shoshana Vitebskiy and Mrs. Esther Keller for coordina ng
the recep on following the ceremony.
This past Sunday night, Yavne High School students took a break from their studies, and a ended a deluxe G.O.
closing banquet. G.O heads, Dena Freedman and Tammy Gutman worked hard to coordinate the event. Rabbi
Yitzchok Kahn addressed the girls. His message was powerful, charging the girls to “PLEASE” make their summer
produc ve and posi ve in all aspects. Menaheles Kohn then read a le er wri en by a student expressing “hakaras
hatov” for all that her teachers had done for her. The sen ments in the le er are definitely shared by most of our
students. There was music and some dancing and the very exci ng announcement who next year’s G.O., chessed,
and mishmeres heads will be. The evening was a fi ng finale to a wonderful year in Yavne!
