Yavneh Activity Day

Students from Years 7-10YB enjoyed a productive and enjoyable activity day, packed with engaging team-building exercises and thought-provoking learning experiences.  

The day began with Shacharis followed by breakfast. Afterward, the boys watched an introduction video explaining the exciting team-building activities ahead. They then headed outdoors, where they worked in groups to complete challenges designed to foster teamwork, planning, and communication. Each activity required strategic thinking and collaboration, with teams being scored in these key areas.  

Following a full morning of activities, the boys enjoyed a well-deserved lunch break before regrouping in the Beis Hamedrash for the afternoon session. This session featured a fascinating and interactive learning experience led by the Manchester Kollel L’Dayonus. Students were presented with a case study and then split into groups, each assigned a different role: defendants, prosecutors, or Dayonim (judges). Each group studied the halachic aspects of their arguments together with a Kollel Member before presenting their cases.  

The event concluded with a Beis Din presentation, held in a specially arranged courtroom setting, complete with a gavel. Boys took on their roles, presenting their cases before an audience, while Kollel members observed and scored their performances based on presentation, argumentation, and halachic accuracy. The winning teams will be announced bez'H next week.  

Thank you to everyone involved in organising this wonderful activity day and ensuring the boys had a fulfilling, educational, and fun-filled experience. ​
