SPEECH IS GOLDEN
Bais Yaakov’s Discovery Program consistently reflects creativity, beautifully packaged ideas, and real substance. A recent presentation about speech featured our own
Mrs. Jose Vegh,
whose humor and dramatic flair helped her to fully engage her high school audience in considering three aspects of speech we could focus on: style, content, and choice of words. Mrs. Vegh demonstrated how each of these says a lot about the communicator and more – plays a role in determining whether or not the message will be heard. Thank you, Mrs. Vegh, for giving us all the opportunity to absorb your entertaining – but most vital – message.

. Kudos to the editors who worked so hard on the inaugural issue:
Rena Lewin, Tzivia Lutch, Ilana Openden, and Temima Shifteh.
Thank you to
Mrs. Karyn Toso
for encouraging her students to move forward with this idea, and publishing a most professional and issue number 1. Looking forward to the next issue!

TARYAG MITZVOS
Another program in the works is the all-new
Taryag Mitzvos
program soon to be launched. The program will motivate and encourage students to learn
all (!)
613
mitzvos
of the
Torah
over the course of their tenure in the high school in a completely optional forum, with exciting prizes and rewards to be offered. Students who follow through on the project will be honored on a permanent Bais Yaakov Honor Board to recognize their great accomplishment. Stay tuned for updates…..Thank you to
Mrs. Miriam Tendler
, the brainchild of this promising program.

OUR BASKETBALL ALL-STARS
The Bais Yaakov Basketball stars began their season with a dramatic victory over Bnos Yisroel in a real cliffhanger, scoring the final point with only seconds to go, for a 31-30 win. Thank you players, and thank you
Coach Aviva Rockwood.
The second game was played against Philadelphia, and Baltimore enjoyed a commendable second place finish.

DR. DAVID LUCHINS' VISIT
Dr. David Luchins
gave his annual talk to our
Twelfth Grade
class this year on the topic of anti-semitism. As usual, his perspective as a political scientist enabled the students to relate to the issue with great depth and breadth, understanding the broader underpinnings of the current state of affairs, as well as ramifications for everyday life in the United States. Thank you, Dr. Luchins!
