Yavneh Boys is always delighted to greet and share again with former students and we had the wonderful opportunity to hear from former Head Boy, Ari Cohen and hear of his experiences in Israel this last year at Yeshivat HaKotel. Afterwards the boys had a mini-address from 6th Form Rav, Rabbi Schwalbe and then enjoyed dancing and pizza to finish the year.
We wish everyone in the YBs community a settled and happy summer break.

Following an exciting table tennis tournament, we celebrated our final Leil Shishi of the year. The evening featured inspiring short addresses from Mr. Leventhall and each of our Rabbanim - Rabbi Cohen, Rabbi Schwarz, Rabbi Rickman and Rabbi Simmonds - who left us with uplifting words of chizuk. We also took time to reflect on some of our achievements this year, focusing on the importance of making space for others and being prepared to receive in order to properly grow. It was a memorable conclusion to the year, filled with encouragement and reflection.
The Year 9 and 10 Yavneh Boys have just returned from an incredible trip they will remember for years to come.
They spent Shabbos in Birmingham, where the boys led the davening and leining, bringing ruach to the Singer's Hill community. We extend our heartfelt thanks to the legendary Rabbi and Rebbetzin Jacobs for hosting us, and to Rabbi Arkush for his inspiring words. In London, the boys had the privilege of meeting Rabbi Dovid Tugendhaft, Dayan Zobin, Rabbi Yoinosson Roodyn, and a number of alumni. The trip was filled with unforgettable highlights, including go-karting, witnessing the Changing of the Guard, experiencing the London Eye, visiting Tower Bridge, and enjoying some lovely food throughout. The trip was expertly led by Rabbi Chaim Cohen and Mr. Leventhall, together with Chaim Greenhouse, ensuring a memorable and enriching experience for all. We joyously celebrated Yom Yerushalayim with an uplifting Hallel and dancing, led by the inspiring Rav Elad Eshel. Our guest speaker, Rabbi Marc Glass, an esteemed KD/Yavneh alumnus and current Rabbi in Kansas City, delivered an insightful talk on the religious significance of the day. Drawing on the teachings of Rav Herschel Schachter, he emphasized Jerusalem's deep spiritual meaning and its importance in Jewish thought. We enjoyed delicious refreshments as we reflected on the historical and contemporary relevance of Jerusalem.
Over the examination period Year 11 are no longer in the framework of the regular school day. Rabbi Schwarz arranged a Tefilin Davening initiative to make sure standards are kept up even during this time. Class celebration with a lunch at Mozzarella!
Years 7, 8 and 9 of Yavneh Boys enjoyed a wonderful day out on a pre Lag B'Omer Outing.
The day started with a delicious breakfast followed by an inspirational learning programme, kindly hosted by Heaton Park Shul. R' Sholom Cohen opened the mornings learning program with a beautiful idea on what we can accomplish on Lag B'Omer and the real reason behind Lag B'Omer outings! Students then had the opportunity to learn through different Lag B'Omer topics, with their chavrusah. This was then followed by Adventure activities in Heaton park together with a tasty Pizza & Chips lunch and a football match. A big thank you to all the generous sponsors who contributed to the day as well as to rabbi Wulwick and all staff who organised and led the day. The boys revelled in the exhilarating final activities of the day, from conquering the mechanical bull to perfecting their aim at the hoop toss, and bouncing with joy in the jumping castle. The blend of excitement and camaraderie made it a memorable end to an unforgettable day of fun-filled adventures.
Many thanks to Rabbi Schwartz for organising. Yes! You read that correctly. the YBs had a dance competition. Organised by Rav Elad and Rabbi Cohen, each year group followed interactive instructions from the big screen and worked together to present a routine.
Lots of laughter, lots of movement. An mazing close competition saw the Y10s awarded winners [for this year]. Chag Sameach |
