The
Yeshiva's children are taught that the human personality is the
most sacred and precious trust we possess. Throughout the year,
the students hear stories, sing songs, participate in skits, write
compositions, and create art projects that focus upon character
development as formulated in our Middos Tovos Program. As the
months and years pass and as the middos are revisited again and
again, the talmidim and talmidos begin to internalize these
middos.
They learn also that the development of fine character is a slow and
consistent process requiring constant effort. Our goal
is the development of children who are dedicated not only to Torah
learning but also to a Torah way of life.
We
recognize that adolescents often benefit from a special relationship
with an advisor within the school structure. Therefore, our Junior
High School program engages a mashgiach ruchani for boys and a
mashgicha
ruchanit for girls. These role models meet with each student individually
to discuss issues, lend support and give encouragement, all within
a Torah perspective. In addition, enjoyable and educational programs
are scheduled throughout the year in the form of lelei iyun, guest
speakers and songfests. We are very proud of the many special
chesed projects which provide for the experiential learning of
middos tovos. The students serve as pen pals to
residents in nursing homes, babysitters for needy families and "buddies"
for special needs children.
