Fathers, Sons Join for Learning

This past Sunday, the fathers of the students in Rabbi Y. Menkes’ first grade class of YTTL – Montreal visited Yeshivah to spend quality time together with their sons.

The fathers witnessed, first hand, the content and the methods used daily in class.

The students demonstrated for their fathers how well they are able to dissect a new Pasuk by recognizing various prefixes, suffixes and shorashim. Next, father and son worked together to fill out a worksheet which covered all the Chumash learned (in first grade) so far this year.

This was followed by an exciting Chumash game on the projector. Finally, a delicious pizza lunch was enjoyed by all.

A big thank you to all of the parents who helped sponsor the pizza! Overall, it was a heartwarming program. It was so beautiful to see fathers take time from their busy schedules and spend quality time with their son. It gave the students (and fathers) a great sense of pride in all of the hard work they have invested throughout the year.

Feedback from some parents:

“While the rest of his siblings were playing at the children’s museum, my son was so thrilled to have me in the classroom with him that it didn’t bother him at all to be missing out. As far as he was concerned he had the best day possible. Thanks for the nachas.” – Rabbi N. Labkowsky

“As a parent I really enjoyed seeing in person how the תלמידים learn so well, I got a feeling that the whole class is advancing together, in learning how to analyze the translation of each word in חומש, identifying what letters are שרשים, ect.. I’m sure they will not only learn a lot this year but will also pick up the skills to learn on their own.” – Rabbi M. Cohen​
