Zachary Blumner's Artwork to Appear on NYC Jumbo-Tron

We are pleased to announce that senior Zachary Blumner’s artwork was selected for display on a large screen jumbo-tron in the heart of Midtown Manhattan.  Zach's Abstract painting depicts "Musicians in Motion."  The use of repetitive curved lines and vibrant color enhance the feeling of joy and movement.

Tomchei Shabbos

North Shore Hebrew Academy High School students ventured to Queens to package food for families in need through "Tomchei Shabbos".  The experience gives the students the opportunity to better understand how communities and local merchants combine their time, money and goods to help others.  These packaged groceries will be distributed to many families for Shabbos.
