On Rosh Chodesh Adar II, 5771, the students at Seeach Sod’s Otzar Yerushalayim organized a fun-filled Purim carnival for the children in the community. The carnival, which was held for the third consecutive year, was intended mainly for the children of the Seeach Sod staff members as well as siblings of the students. However, news of the carnival quickly spread by word of mouth, bringing a flock of other children who finish their studies early on Rosh Chodesh and were thrilled to partake in the exciting event.

The Chabad “sheluchim” in Seeach Sod partook in activities at the Chabad Convention that took place in the International Convention Center in honor of 19 Kislev – the day marked in Chabad as “Chag Hageulah”.

One of the greatly anticipated traditions at Seeach Sod is the yearly Simchas Bais Hashoeva event, where Seeach Sod students get to interact with the community in a most meaningful and exciting way.

Tefillat Yaldah” (“A Girl’s Tefillah”) – An Inspiring Siddur Party

A moving siddur party was held for the first graders of Ma’oz Yerushalayim. The entire staff pitched in to help the play manager Mrs. S. Shneidman, the teacher Mrs. C. Steinberg, and her assistant H. Sheinfeld in their efforts to put together a party of distinction. The seven first graders outdid themselves by starring in an impressive performance that imparted a poignant message and made their families so proud!

Chumash Seudah for the First Graders of Otzar Yerushalayim

When Otzar Yerushalyim celebrated a Chumash Seudah for its first graders, the sight alone of the boys dressed in festive clothes with elaborate crowns perched on their heads was adequate proof of the momentousness of this occasion. This moving scene represented the merging of two paths: that of the special-needs child and a milestone that is eagerly celebrated by every Jewish child – entering the world of Torah. Answering questions on Chumash posed to them by their melamed Rabbi Pshitick, the children amazed the audience with their knowledge about the basics of Creation as written in Parshas Bereishis, which they had just begun to learn. The event, which was orchestrated with a lot of effort and creativity on the part of the devoted teacher S. Zaks, included video presentations of the boys involved in Torah and mitzvos and ended with a round of spirited dancing, with the young celebrities held aloft on their fathers’ shoulders.

May the merit of Torah stand them in good stead and help them achieve success in all areas!

Hundreds of women and children were drawn to Seeach Sod’s booth at the Health Fair and expressed interest in purchasing a plant as a symbol of recognition for the children of Seeach Sod and its staff members, who do such incredible work nurturing their students to grow and blossom. In exchange for buying a plant, participants were given the chance to join the circle of Seeach Sod friends and received a membership card entitling them to partake in Seeach Sod events.

We are proud to introduce Seeach Sod’s top-notch staff.
