In preparation for Yom Kippur, Rabbi Yaakov Glasser addressed the Yavneh Academy middle school students. Through stories, both from midrashim and his life, he demonstrated for the students that each individual student has the ability to be a leader. Just like Bnei Yisrael are referred to as “mamlechet kohanim”- a nation of kohanim – each person has the ability to lead and inspire others. Through respecting and believing in themselves, the Yavneh middle school students will be focusing on being respectful to peers, faculty, the building and themselves.
