It’s almost Shabbat, and we’re still thinking about our students' ...amazing dedication to learning, especially our Bracha Bee participants! 🐝✨ We’re so proud of how hard they studied and demonstrated their mastery of the special brachot we say every day. Shabbat Shalom!

Our Girls Varsity Volleyball team is heading into the playoffs in first place! ...Tonight, we celebrated eight amazing seniors who lead both on and off the court. It was a night to remember—and a big win for the Sting!

🐝 ✨ Bracha Bee at SAR! ✨ 🐝

Today, our students put their ...bracha knowledge to the test in our annual Grades 3-5 Bracha Bee! From identifying the right brachot for different foods to reciting longer brachot by heart, our students showed incredible learning, excitement, and friendly competition. Their knowledge and skill was extremely impressive and we are proud of everyone especially all of our students who cheered their friends on from the audience! Mazal tov to all of our finalists for their dedication and to our winners!

Next up...SAR will face off against 13 other schools at an Interschool Bracha Bowl on February 25th.

Last Friday, the juniors kicked off Junior Getaway with an epic day of snow ...tubing! The rest of the weekend was filled with ruach, bonding, and inspiring Torah learning—an unforgettable experience for the Class of 2026! #onlyatthehive

🔊 SOUND ON!

This morning we gathered on the steps to express ...gratitude for the safe return of the hostages: Agam Berger, Arbel Yehoud, Gadi Moses, Thenna Pongsak, Sathian Suwannakham, Sriaoun Watchara, Seathao Bannawat, and Rumnao Surasak.

In celebration of Agam’s homecoming, students wore braids tied with yellow ribbons as a tribute to her resilience and the quiet strength she showed during her time in captivity. Since November, we have learned that many returning hostages had their hair braided by Agam, as she offered support to others at the times of their release even while she remained behind.

Together, we recited Matir Assurim and were deeply moved as our third grade led us in Mizmor L’Todah, a song of gratitude, filling our school with love, thanks, and hope for those still waiting to come home.🎗️🎗️🎗️ 💛 💛 💛

Yesterday, our 8th grade launched the @namesnotnumbersorg program, joined by ...20 students from @atmosphereacademy. We were honored to welcome the program’s founder Mrs. Tova Rosenberg and special guest Jeffrey Salgo, a retired CBS News producer, who made the opening session unforgettable.

Through this project, students will research, interview, and film Holocaust survivors, learning from journalists and filmmakers to create a powerful documentary. The final film will honor both the survivors and the students’ work.

Good luck to our students as they embark on this meaningful journey.

Yasher koach to the Chess Team on their victory over Hillel! A great display of... strategy, skill, and sportsmanship—plus a fun way to break up the school day! #onlyatthehive

In a true sense of unity, SAR HS's Kol Kaveret choir led by Rabbi Kenny ...Birnbaum joined together with Kol Ram, the Ramaz School's adult/community choir, for a heartwarming concert at the Hebrew Institute of Riverdale. Performing two pieces on their own -- Brother, featuring soloist Rocky T., and Talking to the Moon, with soloists Margot M. and Jonah P. -- as well as Latzeit Medika'om and Amen with the adult choir, the students really shined. Kol Hakavod to all!

Yesterday, in honor of International Holocaust Remembrance Day, Attorney ...General of New York Letitia James addressed 11th grade students about the significance for all people to recognize and understand the horrors of the Holocaust so that it never happens again. Her message: "You have the power and the authority right now to make a difference in the world.” @newyorkstateag

In a beautiful tribute to honor the memory of her dad, Avi Karesh, z”l, ...senior Emma K. launched a schoolwide mezuzah project, where every class will be hanging up a new mezuzah together, fulfilling the mitzvah of קביעת מזוזה and creating an opportunity to connect Torah, friendship, family, and the memory of her dad with our school community. #onlyatthehive
