Westchester Day School fourth graders proudly celebrated their Mesibat Navi, bringing their studies of Sefer Yehoshua to life through song and performance for family and friends. This momentous occasion was more than just a celebration—it was a reflection of deep learning and connection.

Rabbi Klinger shared the powerful message that appears three times in the first perek of Sefer Yehoshua: Chazak Ve’Ematz—be strong and courageous. Yehoshua’s leadership in guiding Bnei Yisrael into the Land of Israel is a lesson that continues to inspire Jewish people today. Just as Yehoshua led with bravery to secure the future of the Jewish people, WDS students learn about those who continue that mission today in Israel.

Through their studies,  fourth graders not only deepened their understanding of Jewish history but also made meaningful connections to the present, guided by their teachers who bring the lessons of Tanach to life.

It was a truly special event and WDS is proud of the fourth graders for their dedication and enthusiasm.
