Learn MoreGame inventor Eyal Buchnik shared the board game "The Knesset: Master the Read moreChaos of Israeli Politics" with our 8th graders and walked them through how Israeli democracy works: the parties, the issues at stake, the electoral system and the hard work of building a coalition when no single party wins a majority.
The students weren't playing to back any particular party, they learned how the process works and why it can be so hard to govern a country with so many voices.
With Israelis heading to the polls this month, our students have a much better sense of what that vote involves.
Thank you, Eyal, for sharing this great interactive game with us!
Our Rosh Chodesh chagigah set the tone for the year ahead with unstoppable Read moreenergy and ruach! Students across all grades danced together with an ease that felt like family, while faculty brought every bit as much spirit as our students.
Our love for Medinat Yisrael filled the room, strengthening the sense of connection and purpose we share.
This is the community we’re building at SAR and what a way to begin!

October 7 was a meaningful and emotional day at SAR, as we came together in Read moreschool and as a broader Riverdale community to remember, reflect, and stand together.
Three years later, we continue to bear witness, honor the lives lost, hold close the families forever changed, and reaffirm our unwavering connection to Israel and one another.
It was an important day of remembrance, reflection, and community, reminding us of the strength we find in being together.
Once a student, always part of the Hive.
Our alumni returned to the Read moreBeit Midrash to learn alongside current students, sharing Torah, ideas, and the connections that continue long after graduation.
We’re excited to spotlight our alumni each week as they return to the Beit Midrash, helping our community of learning grow.

Not just a school, a FAMILY! #sarhsclassof2030 #stingnation
When we stood together on the steps to commemorate October 7th, we understood Read morethat at moments like this, sometimes only silence can hold what words cannot. Silence to honor what was lost, to recognize what remains, and to sit with what we still cannot understand. Three years later, all three are still true.
We honored our chayalim, including teachers and members of our own SAR community, who have served. We welcomed Tomer Meir and Millet Ben Shabat, survivors of the Nova Music Festival. Tomer, a paratrooper and medic, had gone to Nova to celebrate finishing his army service. Millet hid in an open field for six hours, sending her family a message of love as her phone battery died. Both lost friends that day. Millet lost her cousin. They shared their stories with middle and high school students asking them to remember the people who helped, the ones who bravely came back for people over two days, and saved lives, and to let that gratitude shape how we act every day.
Thank you, Tomer and Millet, for sharing your stories with us.

Not just a school, a FAMILY!
Freshman Day at Glen Island Park broughtRead more our ninth graders together for team-building, chesed, and plenty of fun. Each student added a hexagon with their name to a shared mural. Just as the hexagons of a honeycomb fit together to build a hive, each student helps shape our SAR family. A reminder that everyone belongs and has something special to contribute.
Here’s to new friendships, growing together, and making the Hive our home!

"Looking at you gives me hope."
On October 7, Millet Ben Read moreShabat went to Nova to dance with her friends but ended up in the brush, only to be rescued six hours later. On the third anniversary of October 7, Millet asked our students to remember that "alongside the darkness of that day, there was light: the people who helped, who saved lives, who stood by us as friends."
Thank you, Millet, for bringing that light to us today.
