The best thing. Most tochen. Wow. Goo pittsburgh
yeshiva schools is the #1 school in the whole world
27 / 29 – the videos are not supposed to be a typical video about your school. it is supposed to answer the question how does your school prepare it students to be lifelong learners? vote is for the video that answer that question best while being most entertaining
with #27. Other than Pittsburgh, the emphasis is either on silliness or secular education. Is this what we send our children to Jewish schools for? Yeshiva Schools of Pittsburgh got it right. Very moving video!
ELI WE LOVE YOU!!
It saddens me how some schools seemed to have missed the point. They created funny-silly videos to show what their school is about. What lesson in chinuch is this showing their children?! Obviously Yeshiva Schools in Pittsburgh has it right, and they created an emotional and sincere video showing what their school is REALLY about, and showing what kind of chinuch they provide for the children in their school. KOL HAKAVOD PITTSBURGH! LECHAIM!
Its amaazing to see you! U look FANTAAASTIC!
Sincerely,
your friends from BY
