On Thursday, November 11, MTA’s Arista Honors Society hosted a yeshiva-wide blood drive. MTA talmidim, rebbeim, faculty and alumni, aided patients in need of blood and donated life-saving pints. This is the first blood drive of the year, with more planned in order to give back to the community and make a positive impact on those in need—which is even more important now as we are facing an emergency blood shortage, according to the American Red Cross. Thank you to the Arista Honors Society for organizing this meaningful initiative. MTA is also grateful to the New York Blood Center for their continuous efforts to save lives.
