Pink Day is back!! TABC was a sea of pink, as the school raised money for and awareness of breast cancer. The day began with Director of Admissions and Marketing P’nina Seplowitz, describing the work of the non-profit organization Better Future For Israel (BFFIsrael), one of the recipients of the tzedaka raised for Pink Day. BFFIsrael supports a number of educational projects and social programs in Israel to spread awareness of cancer and the value of early detection among ultra-orthodox communities. She was followed by Shera Dubitsky, former director of navigation and support services for Sharsheret, who poignantly described how seemingly small actions can have a large impact.

After highlighting the stories of several teenagers who have made a huge impact on society such as Anne Frank and Louie Braille, she concluded with a message of hakarat hatov to TABC alumnus Tzvi Solomon ‘09, who, when he was a teenager, created the idea of Pink Day together with TABC Learning Specialist and Pink Day Coordinator Donna Hoenig. After the annual Pink Day picture and pink doughnuts, the entire yeshiva went to shiurim on topics related to health and halacha.

Thank you to seniors Mattias Csillag, Yonatan Sturm, Akiva Wieder and Yaakov Wieder; juniors Elli Spinowitz and Noah Miller; sophomores Sam Weinberg, Josh Miller, Menachem Kravetz and Daniel Jaffe and freshmen Daniel Dresdner, Yair Levie, Eitan Mermelstein, and Ashi Norman for all of their efforts, which resulted in raising over $4,000 for tzedaka!
