Bruriah students enjoyed a beautiful Shavuos mini-yom iyun to prepare themselves for the chag, entitled “Making Torah Real,” with its focus on how to Torah on a personal level. It began with an empowering speech by Bruriah’s Rabbi Judah Isaacs who spoke about what it means to take ownership of one’s Torah learning. Rabbi Isaacs’ words laid the foundation for the student-led panel that followed. Emceed by junior Shana Markowitz, freshman Dalia Hess, sophomore Shira Kaplitt and junior Tova Flint discussed their personal role models as well as sefarim from which they have gleaned inspiration and insight. “The yom iyun was a beautiful opportunity for students and faculty to join together to explore meaningful themes in preparation for our own Kabbalas HaTorah,” shared Dr. Bethany Strulowitz, Bruriah principal.
