Boys Learn from Mountain Trip

United Lubavitcher Yeshiva of Ocean Parkway, along with the Shmuel Shrage Middos program and MBP enjoyed a frosty morning mountain hike at Delaware Water Gap national recreation area.

A full day and night of davening learning and skiing was spent at Montage Mountain resort.

The Talmidim, many of whom had never been on skis in their lives, with the help of their peers took to it “like a duck to water.”

The trip rewarded students who showed growth and advancement in areas of Middos, Torah by heart, limudei kodesh studies and excellence in secular studies.

“We feel a Yeshiva should make a child comfortable, safe, and at home. It should inspire while providing a venue for academic growth in both Torah and secular studies for each individual’s needs,” said Rabbi S. Dechter, principal.

The kids reported they had a great time, along with learning some life lessons, such as when we work together we can accomplish great things, and when you think about another yid and help them, all your problems go away.

“I see we can do and learn anything when we stick together as a team,” said Yossi Goodman.

“Normaly I fall a lot,” said Tzvi Strauss, “but this time I was helping my friend Shragi (it was his first time) and I didn’t fall once.”

“Never give up, when you fall you have to get up and try again,” said Dvir Dovid Hasis.
