We had the privilege to host two visiting IDF soldiers. We were grateful to welcome them and to hear their incredible stories of courage, bravery, faith, miracles, and mission. The children were quite fascinated by the details of their experiences. We had the opportunity to thank them for their tremendous sacrifice and service on behalf of our land and our People, in Israel and worldwide. Each day our students say an extra prayer and give extra Tzedakah, on behalf of Israel and the soldiers. It was special to do that personally together with our visitors! They were quite emotional to see how much the children care about them, even though so far away! The soldiers felt that these prayers and Mitzvah merits from the children, are their "superpowers" as they battle enemies that rise against us. The soldiers took the opportunity for another Mitzvah and donned Tefilin and said "Shema Yisrael" with the Middle School boys. They ate lunch with our students and enjoyed seeing the fabulous vibe at Slater Torah Academy! Am Yisrael Chai!
