The students and faculty of Yavneh Academy had the unique privilege of hosting the Bostoner Rebbe of Yerushalayim. The Rebbe spent the day meeting with one or two grades at a time, and ending each meeting by greeting each and every child individually. Displaying the warmth and sensitivity that is a hallmark of the Bostoner chassidim, the Rebbe shared different messages with each age group, each time connecting his words to what the students are currently learning. The Rebbe taught niggunim to many of the younger students, and the students quickly caught on and eagerly joined in to produce a beautiful ruach in the beit midrash. The older students were inspired and uplifted by the Rebbe’s divrei chizuk and bracha and by the opportunity to spend time with a world-renowned Torah luminary. Truly, today was a special day for Yavneh Academy and one that will hopefully be a sweet memory for its students.
