Well done to the 5th Grade of Bnos Menachem from Morah Avtzon’s class for winning the school’s raffle. They had 100% class participation in this contest and a fantastic experience watching the Mikdash VR, exploring the Beis Hamikdash and getting a deeper understanding and yearning for the third Beis Hamikdash.
“We are so proud of all the kids that participated in this contest. Each created beautiful projects with creativity and originality!” says Rochel Baila Wolffe, school coordinator of Tut Altz Kids. “The kids took the information from Live With The Geulah Now and formulated it in various ways, showing how they have internalized the ideas of living Geulah today.”
“We are so happy to have included the Moshiach Contest in our school. The fact that the kids were spending their time creating Moshiach content, and not all the kids are Shomer Shabbos, was so beautiful to see. It is a program that is so needed,” shares Mrs. Tuvel, Judaic Studies Principal at Magen Israel Elementary School.
All projects can be viewed on the contest website TutAltz.com/contest.
“A project like this gives us much hope and Nachas,” says Rabbi Mendy Kotlarsky, Executive Director of Merkos 302. “When we see how the children aren’t just learning and absorbing but creating projects of their own and teaching the Rebbe’s words.”
