TEVET - SHEVAT 5781 / JANUARY 2021 33 “My daughters love everything about the school. The teachers are so caring and make sure that everyone is fulfilling her potential.”  Bet Yaakov is run under the inspirational leadership of Rabbi Shmuel Choueka. Rabbi Choueka is known for being exceptionally warm, caring, and always available for his students even years after they graduate, ready to advise and help in any way that is needed. In his capacity as Rabbi of BYJS, he ensures that everything in the school is run in accordance with da’at Torah  (the guidance of our leading rabbinic guides), and he regularly consults with our generation’s leading sages to ascertain that the school is following the proper Torah path.  Beyond the classroom learning, BYJS incorporates a wide variety of special programs to keep the students excited and to supplement their formal education. In the past month of December alone the students enjoyed a special Rosh Chodesh activity, a “read-a-thon” to encourage reading, a “Tehillim-a-thon” to energize the girls' prayers, a career day to expose the students to a range of different possible professions which they might wish to pursue and a preschool Mommy and me Hanukah day. The school also hosted special events for the families that attend the school, and for the community at large. Last month, for the second year in a row, the preschool organized a Hanukah Extravaganza Day for the greater Deal community. Other events included a toy and clothing drive for A Home For Girls in Israel and a mother-daughter luncheon and activity day, where the high school girls launched the “Build the Bayit Campaign,” an initiative by the girls for the women in the community.   Bet Yaakov of the Jersey Shore is making the move to the suburbs an easier and more attractive choice for many community families. Parents need not be concerned that the move to the quiet and serenity of the Jersey Shore might compromise their children’s education. BYJS offers everything parents want for their daughters – and the peace of mind of knowing that their child is being cared for by a devoted team of professional educators in a warm Torah environment, where she is being placed on the road leading to a lifetime of achievement and success. $199 INSTALLED SHABBAT LOCKS: 347-755-9990 RESIDENTIAL AND COMMERCIAL LICENSED AND INSURED FULL SERVICE LOCK, SAFE AND DOOR HARDWARE SERVICES
