Heschel High School welcomed Eric Berger to perform a one-man-show titled Heschel’s Passover Eve. The performance illustrated Rabbi Heschel’s journey from young adulthood through his involvement in the Civil Rights Movement. This was a unique opportunity for our learning about Rabbi Heschel to come to life on stage.

High School students took a break from classes to go up to the roof to take in the solar eclipse.

Heschel High School put on 4 shows of Rodgers and Hammerstein's "Cinderella." Kol hakavod to all the students who acted, sang, designed, and lit up this incredible production.

This week, high school students participated in our annual Tefillah Exploration Week; students joined new and exciting minyanim offered by various members of the Heschel faculty along with several guests from the larger NYC Jewish community. Some of this years’ session titles included Visual Art Responding to October 7, Praying for Governments, Avadim Hayinu: Pesach Themes Today, Safrut: Writing the Torah, Wrestling with Climate Change as Jews, and Women Rabbis Share their Connection to Jewish Ritual.

The High School welcomed Representative Ritchie Torres to speak during the weekly programming block. In dialogue with Rabbi Dahlia and Heschel students, Representative Torres spoke about his unwavering commitment to Israel and Zionism, issues most prevalent in NYC today, and how he works with colleagues in Washington both in his own party and across the aisle.
