This past week, Heichal talmidim took a break from their regular daily schedule to run a 5K to support Yad Leah, a tzedaka organization that provides clothing to needy families in Israel. The special Dash for Dignity event—which raises money to purchase and ship American clothing to Israel—took place at Overpeck Park and included over 180 of Heichal’s students, administrators, teachers and rabbeim. Heichal’s Chief Operating Officer Shimmie Katz, led the 5K along with several other faculty members. Congratulations to Hillel Jachter, 11th grader, for his first place win; Avi Gottleib, 10th grader, for placing second; and Abie Jacoby, 12th grader, for placing third. It was a great afternoon with exercise, camaraderie and chesed all rolled into one.
