Machon L’Yahadus is hosting a Melave Malka this Motzei Shabbos, open to all women and girls in the community.
The evening is in honor of Rebbetzin Chana on the occasion of her 58th yartzeit. Machon L’Yahadus looks to Rebbetzin Chana, mother of the Rebbe, as the paradigm of Jewish womanhood and aims to educate its students in the spirit of her life.
The celebration begins with refreshments at 9:00 p.m. and features Mrs. Esther Sternberg, whose stories of personal encounters always inspire and invigorate her audience. Rabbi Shloma Majeski, principal of Machon L’Yahadus will share an opening Dvar Torah. Current student Chana Rumann from Texas will share her journey to Machon L’Yahadus. Alumna Esther Carbonera will share her thoughts and Sofa Geula Yoffe from Moscow will sing.
“We are happy to share with the community the good news that Machon L’Yahadus is thriving. Before the opening of school this year we renovated the student kitchen in the dorm and refinished the beautiful parquet floors. We also painted our classrooms at school and added to our already impressive library. Most importantly a new enthusiastic group of students have joined us this year as well as a full cadre of returning second year students,” notes Rabbi Majeski. “This growth is thanks to our teaching and support staff at Machon L’Yahadus who are all passionate about what they teach and devoted to the students.
“Just this week we received a message from a student who attended Machon L’Yahadus two years ago. ‘Thank you so much for changing my life. I will remember all of you forever! Continue inspiring and strengthening young women in the ways of the Rebbe in such a stunning manner!’”
This year’s students hail from across the United States and Canada, as well as Israel, Brazil, Argentina, Russia, Ukraine and Hungary.
