From this very first day Heichal HaTorah's closed due to Corona every single shiur and class was in session. It is our honor to congratulate our yeshiva on not missing a beat. The learning of our high school and post-high school students both in shiur and with chavrusahs (student-to-student learning), has been strong, some would say stronger than in person. Our faculty is employing progressive strategies to keep distance learning exciting and informative. Yasher Koach (continued strength) to Rabbi Avishur, our Academic Dean, who began preparing to launch Virtual Heichal very early on during this pandemic and executed the transition flawlessly. Yasher Koach to our Rabbis and teachers who carried out the plan seamlessly and continue to improve the learning each and every day. It is so difficult to prepare for classes and teach at home, with family around, and they continue to do so with professionalism and true heroism. Critical to our yeshiva culture is the personal attention each talmid (student) receives from our guidance team. Rav Schwechter, Director of Religious Guidance, has continued to work with many talmidim on religious issues that are part of normal teenage life and specifically as a teenager during Corona. Dr. Klein, Director of Guidance, continues to monitor the pre-existing social and educational needs of our talmidim, as well as address new issues that have surfaced during life and yeshiva during Corona. Their dedication to the needs of each talmid has been truly heroic during this time. Rabbi Epsein and Shimmie Katz, Directors of Student Life, recognized the incredible challenge our talmidim would face being away from friends and cooped up in their homes. He has planned and executed numerous fun and social activities for our talmidim to enjoy at home. These heroic efforts of RavAv and Shimmie are truly appreciated.
