A Great Start

Midreshet Yeud 5776 has gotten off to a great start. On Wed Aug 26 all the girls landed safely, happily and with all the luggage. The girls arrived at their home and were greeted with pizza and salads. They unpacked and settled in. We all enjoyed a festive dinner and headed towards the Kotel. The girls heard Rav Ari speak about the meaning of being in Israel and how we can all use the wings that Hashem has given each individual. This year we hope to help the girls use their This past Shabbat we had a very enjoyable Shabbaton in Ramot Shapiro. The girls heard talks about Tshuva realted topics from Rav Zevi Reinetz and Rav Ari wings to fly and maximize on their potential. We ended the evening with Maariv at the Kotel. In addition to the incredible learning, the past three weeks has been filled with fun, meaningful and exciting activities. The girls went on a tiyul to the Sataf right outside Jerusalem with an amazing view,

and had lots of fun. They also had a evening of singing, music and inspiration the first night of Slichot. The Sherut Leumi jobs have been going very well. The girls are now getting a little taste of different options , and then after Succot we can get straight into the swing of things.

Some of this year's options are working in hydrotherapy in Shalva with down syndrome children. The food pantry of Ramot has asked for our help to pack weekly. We have a

lready visited the afterschool program for girls who come from battered homes where the girls play with them and just have fun. Another great place we visited was a kindergarten for mentally disabled children and being an extra pair of hands for the

teachers and to play and interact with the kids, We have had so many wonderful experiences thus far we cant wait to see what the rest of the year brings. We are looking forward to some inspiring weeks ahead with the chagim. We hope the girls will enjoy time with family, friends, teachers and one another. We wish the entire Midreshet Yeud family a wonderful healthy happy successful year ahead, We hope that we can all grow, learn and have experiences we can all remember forever.
