Girls Winter ShabbaZone
This past Shabbos, TheZone was full once again with hundreds of smiling, happy faces. The campus looked a bit different with snow in place of sunshine, but the energy and excitement that characterizes every TheZone event was the same.
Just check out all the pics and videos on TheZone’s Facebook page to see how much fun everyone had!

Chanukah Concert in Brooklyn Smashing Success!!
What a concert! What a night!
The energy was palpable in Brooklyn College Tuesday night, the fourth night of Chanukah, at Oorah’s annual Chanukah concert, free for the Oorah family. Over 2,500 people- all affiliated with Oorah- filled the concert hall.
Big name entertainers like Lipa and Shloime Dachs gave popular performances (Lipa sang his new Chanukah release “Believe in a Miracle.”) Up-and-coming singer Yoni Z, who has performed in TheZone, was also on the program, as was Yitzi Bald’s New York Boys Choir.
But the real stars of the night were the children of Little Star Preschool, who put their all into their enthusiastic performance. Dressed in Chanukah-themed costumes, they sang “I Have a Little Dreidel” among other holiday classics.
TheZone shone on stage as well with an interactive trivia game show that drew participation from the crowd. Mrs. Shimrit Adar, beloved program director of the Girls Division, addressed the audience in her usual energetic and dynamic style. Boys Division campers Shalom Kaddosh and Mickey Aflalo wowed with a display of considerable parkour talent as Lipa did gangnam Oorah style!
Of course, Rabbi Chaim Mintz was a highlight of the night with his keynote address on the topic of Kiddush Hashem. He led the audience in a moving recitation of Shema Yisrael.
The concert was so much more than just a great show though. It was a grand Oorah family reunion. TorahMates met in person, Zoniacs rekindled old memories and everyone came away from the event uplifted and inspired.

Mother to mother
Dear Mr. and Mrs. F,
I am the mother of two boys who your son met three years ago at Oorah’s TheZone camp. Your son has had such a positive impact on my sons’ lives. I cannot thank him enough for all that he has done for my two sons.
My youngest, Joshua, was paired up with S as a TorahMate to learn over the summer. Hashem knew what He was doing when He make that connection. S did not think he reached Joshua but boy did he… Joshua came home from camp a different boy. He asked to attend a day school that November and has not looked back since.
My oldest son left the public school system just last year after completing his eighth grade and started his ninth grade year at a yeshiva in Baltimore.
S has become a part of my family, he attended my oldest’s bar mitzvah, he came to my wedding. I was a single mother when S met my boys. He has been to our home for many a Shabbos and I just wanted you to know how great I think he is. You have a very special son. I wish him nothing but health, happiness and to keep following in the path closer to Hashem.
All the best,
R

Memories of a beautiful Shabbos
Today’s post comes to us courtesy of Mrs. Nechama Perlstein, tuition coordinator at Oorah.
The Perlstein and Feiner children, friends at first sight
This past Shabbos, my family had the pleasure of hosting the Feiner family. The Feiners first entered the Oorah family when they sent their 10-year-old daughter Lea to camp two summers ago. On Visiting Day, while enjoying TheZone’s many amenities, the Feiners chanced upon the TorahMates booth and allowed themselves to be persuaded to be set up with TorahMates. It’s been an Oorah shidduch ever since.
The Feiners have joined Oorah for various events and even took the big leap this September when they transferred both their children out of public school and put them in yeshiva. Both Jason and Sonia learn regularly and enjoy a beautiful relationship with their TorahMates. In fact, this is what brought the Feiners to Lakewood this past Shabbos.
One of Jason’s TorahMates was making a bar mitzvah and the Feiners, eager to join, did not want to leave their Long Island home on motzai Shabbos, afraid that the long drive would make them late. An email sent around at Oorah found the Feiners at my home a few minutes before Shabbos.
The connection was instantaneous. Over good conversation and even better food (if I do say so myself!) the adults really bonded and the kids hit it off! Lea fell in love with my girls; for Raizy, it was the big sister she is always wishing for. Samuel is right in between my two boys and we literally didn’t see them all Shabbos. They kept themselves entertained; we had to beg them to stop and come eat.
All in all, I have to say that Shabbos was a real success. Mr. Feiner’s thank you was enough to warm us all as we stood outside to load the car and send them off. My kids were in tears when it was time for the Feiners to leave but I promised them that I would make sure that we see them again!
