How sweet!
Students from Rabbi Michoel Harari‘s 8th grade class at United Lubavitcher Yeshiva of Ocean Parkway in Brooklyn got to witness Hashem’s intricacies up close.
This past week they traveled to Cranbury, NJ, to visit the BeeHive Barn, a supplier of honey bees that are made or grown onsite, with 25 of beehives located on the farm.
The students participated in age-old skills of calming the bees, hive inspecting and by doing so figured out what Hashem has the bee’s doing. “I cant believe I got so close them, I’m usually scared of bees,” said Benny, a student.
Although non of the students participating were allergic to bees, an EMT was on hand for any emergencies. “We were all handling bees and no one got stung,” noted Yitzchok, a student.
After their work was done, they got to taste some of the delicious fresh honey. “If we look at the smallest details we can see Hashem’s greatness, we just have to look,” said their teacher.
Another out of the box fun filled trip care of Rabbi Harari. He makes learning, fun interesting hands on and relative.
Keep up the great work ULY and Rabbi Dechter.
An alumni parent missing my son in this class……
Your welcome : ) They are a great class, it’s my pleasure
Tzivos Hashem Toronto developed a honeybee workshop for Rosh Hashana with tools needed to harvest and extract the honey. The entire workshop can be transported (including the live beehive) to the school.
A lot more exciting than the same same annual trip to the aquarium that my kids had when they were in elementary school.
Go ULU-OP – you are truly connecting with the boys, may they all stay connected to Torah and mitzvos.
Thank you Rabbi Harari for giving the boys an enriching trip.
