Yachad Long Island will hold its annual Inclusive Super Bowl Party on Sunday, February 2, at the Yachad Long Island Center in North Woodmere. All yeshiva high-school students are invited to watch the game, be part of the fun, and enjoy the delicious food with Yachad members! The annual Inclusive Super Bowl Party is generously sponsored by Jonathan and Dina Ohebshalom and Howard and Eddy Blady.
Yachad Long Island has had an exceptional fall semester. The excitement began with a kick-off karate event back in September at Warren Levy Martial Arts in Cedarhurst. This was followed by the bi-weekly bowling night and Pizza & Parshah events, which continue throughout the school year. These events are some of the most popular local Yachad events and are highly attended as they are exciting, fun, and provide meaningful social outings where Yachad participants can enjoy their time with local high-school students. Due to the popular demand of the highly attended karate event, Yachad now hosts a karate night once a month at Warren Levi Martial Arts and Fitness.
Yachad Long Island loves celebrating yomim tovim and holidays at their fun-filled events. The annual Rosh Hashanah Bake Night, hosted by the Glickman family in Woodmere, was a fun and delicious program. Just before Sukkot, the enthusiastic Yachad members were invited to decorate the sukkah at the Young Israel of North Woodmere with other community members from their shul. Additionally, the parties continued for the annual Thanksgiving painting party, Chanukah Bounce event, as well as a sold-out Chanukah concert featuring music sensations Simcha Leiner and Duvie Shapiro at the Shulamith School in Cedarhurst.
Local schools, including DRS and SKA, created incredible inclusive programs for Yachad participants to join. DRS hosts a Thursday-night mishmar program where the DRS boys learn b’chavrutah with Yachad members. They graciously host a delicious hot dinner after the program. SKA has created a GNO (Girls’ Night Out) event once a month with fun activities, including karaoke and painting. Yachad is so grateful for these school partnerships, as the Yachad participants love and thrive at these special inclusive opportunities.
