It was standing room only at the Mesivta Ateres Yaakov Open House this past Sunday, as the Yeshiva hosted over 150 prospective students, along with their parents, all eager to learn about what Ateres Yaakov has to offer. Held in the yeshiva’s beautiful facilities, and with the Rabbeim, faculty and Hanhalah present to answer questions, the day's program was an opportunity to educate parents and students about the Yeshiva's unique mission, objectives, and resources.
It was a busy, exciting and educational experience that included informative panels, video displays, passionate presentations, engaging dialogue, Torah brain teasers, raffles, a gala luncheon, prizes, an elaborate Student Fair, slushies, competitions and more. Visitors gawked at the new, expansive, nearly-completed gymnasium.
