The boys and girls in the 1st grade classes in the Nigri Shluchim Online School celebrated their Chumash party with an online, live celebration attended by staff, family and friends from all around the world. 

Families and school faculty tuned in live to celebrate this long-awaited event, a true milestone for the students who have worked hard all year long and finally earned their Chumash. 

Spread across the world, this Chumash Party poses unique challenges to create an environment where every student can be celebrated.

Prior to the party, each student received a package in the mail with all the supplies needed to celebrate, including a special crown, delicious nosh and a certificate signed by their Morahs. 

With backdrops, costumes, and personalized decorations sent to every single student from China to Morocco, the students and their families excitedly logged in and got to feel the unity, connection and pride in this accomplishment.

The program began with presentations from the students who either sang a song or performed a skit before hearing inspirational words from teachers and staff. As each child received their very own Chumash, parents and grandparents who joined live were able to share their Mazel Tov wishes with the children.

“The energy felt at our Chumash Party this year was truly something else,” shared Associate Director Morah Devora Leah Weiss. “The ability to celebrate such an incredible milestone with students and parents in different countries, continents and cities and yet feel that we are all in one place together is very special.”

Special thanks is extended to the Nigri Shluchim Online School Morahs who invest and give themselves over for the Chassidishe Chinuch of the Young Shluchim and for preparing them for this milestone.
