On Motzei Shabbat, Saturday, November 19, 2022, Yeshiva of Central Queens faculty, Grade 3 students, and their families and friends celebrated an Intergenerational Melava Malka in a beautifully decorated YCQ auditorium. Rabbi Landsman, YCQ Principal, kicked off the event with an amazing D’var Torah.
The sages in the Talmud tell us that “a person should always set his table on Motzei Shabbat with all the preparations for an important feast, even if he only wishes to eat a small amount of food, in order to escort Shabbat with honor, just as he had done when she arrived (Talmud, Shabbat 119b; Shulchan Aruch, Orach Chaim 300:1).”
The Grade 3 students performed four songs for over four hundred parents, grandparents, aunts, uncles, cousins, and special friends: Elyahu Hanavi, Shabbos Is Going Away, David Melech Yisrael, and Laner Velivsamim. The audience viewed a a short video production, “Grade 3 Life,” which included greetings from each of the Grade 3 teachers and featured every Grade 3 student.
A delicious dinner, prepared by YCQ, was served, and enjoyed. A special show was presented by magician Mr. Yoel Hecht, and raffles with prizes. Finally, framed Hakarat Hatov gratitude art gifts were given by the students to their guests.
Rabbi Landsman, Rabbi Rohr, Mrs. Melissa Cohen, Mrs. Shirley Pourad, Morah Etty Borochoff, Morah Yaffa Salek, Mrs. Chavi Lucks, and Ms. Sherilyn Laffer worked to create a memorable event for the students, families, and faculty. The YCQ Grade 3 Intergenerational Melava Malka was a wonderful success!
