74 COMMUNITY MAGAZINE co mm unity HIGHL IGHTS Magen David Class Trip to the SBH Food Pantry Last month, the third graders from Magen David Yeshivah took a class trip to SBH. They visited the food pantry and helped pack meals and organized many, many, many boxes! Great job, kids! This year, Bet Yaakov of the Jersey Shore High School was determined to have the best graduation trip ever. Under normal circumstances, the graduating class goes to Eres Yisrael for the culmination of their four years of learning and working hard in high school. However, this year unfortunately that was not possible. But Bet Yaakov did not give up on providing the students with something amazingly special that they will remember for the rest of their lives. With professional tour guides, Devoiry and Yael, the girls were treated to a most incredible trip to Arizona, Nevada, and Utah. Every detail was carefully planned out in advance. The girls embarked on a road trip where they visited every major tourist attraction, including the Grand Canyon, Bryce Canyon, and Zion National Park. And, of course, the girls got to see and experience these spots taking in their most spectacular views. Jeeping through Sedona, ATVing on sand dunes, tubing down Lake Powell, boating through Antelope Canyon, Segway rides through Arizona, hiking in Bryce Canyon, hot air balloons over the Grand Canyon, and of course a breathtaking Shabbat in Nevada with stars and the mountains as company. What can be compared to a Shaharit overlooking Horseshoe Bend or a Minha over a canyon with just Hashem as your company? This trip was not only fun and exciting, but it was pure spiritual bliss - connecting with Hashem in the marvelous world that He created! Bet Yaakov High School Flying High Blink Is Back!
