Thursday Night Leil Iyun Focuses on Chessed and Kiruv
This past Thursday night, students slept over in school for a literal "leil iyun," that focused on chessed and kiruv. Students were treated to talk about kiruv with Rabbi Couzens of Aish HaTorah. They then participated in a chessed project: creating special mishloach manos for the community. After a midnight movie ("Inspired Too"), students enjoyed shmoozing, sleeping, and pajama partying in the TAGHS hallways. Layla tov!
