Yavneh Academy Middle School students had a special opportunity to hear from Rabbi Elliot Schreier, Rabbi of Congregation Bnai Yeshurun. Rabbi Schreier shared a powerful story about his grandmother's escape from the Nazis and with words of inspiration for the time period of the Aseret Yemei Teshuva. He encouraged us all to think about what kind of people we want to be and what actions we will take upon ourselves to get there. He reminded us that now is the time to take upon ourselves some sort of change for the upcoming year to ultimately better ourselves. It was a beautiful way for us to start the new year!
