HALB Bnot Akiva

Posted

HALB’s Bnot Akiva led an inspiring Asara B’Tevet program regarding the serious drought in Israel this year.

Responding to the call for tefila on Asara B’Tevet made by Minister of Agriculture Uri Ariel and the chief rabbis, Rabbi David Lau and HaRav Yitzchak Yosef, the Bnot Akiva led a program to bring awareness of this issue to  fourth and fifth grade boys and girls.

The children were given stickers of the special tefila to paste in their siddurim and decorated wall hangings that will be displayed in the school’s hallways to remind them of their commitment to improve their interpersonal relationships.

The program concluded with a recitation of the tefila led by Principal Richard Altabe.
