SKA: Father-daughter learning

Ninth Grade fathers joined their daughters for a wonderful morning at the Stella K. Abraham High School for Girls, on Dec. 25.

After davening in the gymnasium, the fathers posed with their daughters on the auditorium stage for a photo which was given out at the end of the event as a memento in a frame with a tefillah.

The program, facilitated by Rabbi Yosef Zakutinsky, began with Head of School Helen Spirn, who applied Rabbi Jonathan Sacks’ work on women leaders in Tanach to leadership and women in our time. Freshmen Elisheva Ismach, daughter of Dr. Malka Ismach, an alumna of SKA’s first graduating class, delivered a d’var Torah. The fathers-daughter pairs then learned from prepared handouts and heard a shiur from Rabbi Daniel Eisenbach, Mashgiach Ruchani.

The second half of the program divided participants into groups to play “Jeopardy.”
