Community Events
We are proud to open our doors to the wider community, fostering connection through shared spaces and events. Our gym hosts youth basketball, offering young athletes a place to develop their skills and teamwork. Jewish prayer groups have celebrated important moments in our facilities, reflecting the diverse traditions of our neighborhood. Community council meetings have been held at our school, providing a space for dialogue and collaboration on local initiatives. Additionally, we have had the honor of hosting a neighborhood iftar, bringing people together during Ramadan to break fast and celebrate unity. By welcoming the community into our school, we aim to celebrate the rich diversity that defines Brooklyn.
