All Night Mishmar

With all the Adar Fun we’ve had this week, we have not forgotten the true meaning of Adar and where our true passions lie. “Regular shiurim” have been held all week (though nothing is “regular” at SFW!) and, last night, we had an All Night Mishmar. The girls learned non-stop from 8:00 PM (beginning with Rav Leibowitz's shiur) through davening k'vatikin at 5:30 AM! Kol hakavod to our all-nighters!! The girls, on their own initiative, extended our usual Thursday late-night into an all-night learning mishmar with chaburot and divrei Torah given by the girls!

 
Yasher Koach and thank you to Yael Steinberg (SFW ’14) and Kayla Zeitz (SFW ’14) for the initiative and planning! Thank you too to our staff members who joined them for all or part of the night:
