The theme of this year’s SSSHABBOSHABBOSHABBOS TTTIFERESIFERESIFERES, held שבת פרשת וישלח, was ״כל העולם כולו גשר צר מאד״. Shabbos Tiferes has a powerful impact on the rest of the year. Filled with inspiring Divrei Torah, enriching activities, meaningful murals, delicious food, a moving choir presentation, and an incredible מוצאי שבת program, this year’s action-packed weekend, arranged by students from grades 9 and 12, was no different.

Our guest speaker, Mrs. Faygie Minkowich, honoured us with her presence and her words throughout Shabbos. She offered many insights and sources into the theme of our Shabbos, understanding that ה׳ is always taking care of us.

Many thanks to our Shabbos Tiferes Heads, Chavi Marder, Sarah Mammon, and Sarah Frisch Israel, who worked tirelessly with student council head, Mrs. Pazit Shukroon, to arrange such a magnificent Shabbos. Thank you to all our Committees for their hard work and dedication: Baking, Centrepieces, Choir, Decorations, Divrei Torah, Food, Kits, Motzei Shabbos, and Murals. Much gratitude to our Host Families, Brody, Ciss, Hytman, Jacobs, Kaiser, Klompas, Marder, Marder, Nadoff, Nemetz, Plonka, Rubinoff, Spiro, Spitzer, for opening their homes to our students and guests. Thank you also to our honoured guests: our Tiferes Staff: Mr. & Mrs. Abraham, Rabbi & Mrs. Bell, Mrs. Bellchamber, Rabbi & Mrs. Feigenbaum, Miss Feigenbaum, Miss Grayson, Rabbi & Mrs. Handelsman, Mr. & Mrs. Kleinman, Rabbi & Mrs. Kulik, Mr. & Mrs. Melnick, Mr. Neil Mikhailov, Rabbi & Mrs. Ribacoff, Mr. & Mrs. Sherman, Mr. & Mrs. Shukroon, Mrs. Solnik, Miss Tokayer, Mr. & Mrs. Woznica, and Rabbi & Mrs. Zolty; and our Tiferes Alumnae: Shoshana Beliak, Rikki Berk, Brina Bressler, Rachel Bressler, Shayna Cohen, Arielle Lugassy, Kaylee Rosen, Shira Rosenberg, Shira Singer Nussbaum, Shira Spitzer, Miriam Stoll, Leora Walfish, and Ariella Weinberg; and to everyone involved in this memorable experience.

This year’s SSSHABBOSHABBOSHABBOS TTTIFERESIFERESIFERES CCCHOIRHOIRHOIR performed a song written by our very own,

Neima Mandel and Miriam Schlam (grade 12).

When you’re blinded by darkness or blinded by light You feel it’s not easy to get through the night, Just close your eyes and remember the time

when everything turned out just fine.

Every step that we take and every choice that we make will change who we are, and changes what will be,

So just go ahead and take your step fearlessly.

Don't forget that this life is a bridge for me and you it must carry us to where we must go

כל העולם כולו גשר צר מאד

Every step that we take and every choice that we make will change who we are and changes what will be, So just go ahead and take your step fearlessly.

Don't forget that this life is a bridge for me and you.
