Siyum Hashas Five Star Review of the Third Grade’s Mechiras Yosef Production The much anticipated Mechiras Yosef Production presented by Rab- bi Biller’s third graders was performed before an eager audience made up of YKOR’s kindergarten through 2nd graders. The specta- tors thoroughly enjoyed the experience as they sat spellbound from the opening scene until the superbly executed conclusion.

Through the course of the play, the impressive actors managed to run through the entire spectrum of emotions. At times, the charac- ters were funny, moving, sad, happy and most importantly uplifting and inspiring. The boys acted with CLASS the acronym for Clear, Loud, And Super Slow. Rabbi Biller shepped plenty of nachas after over a month’s preparation paid off so well. The boys will return to the stage when they present an encore per- formance to parents and grandparents o n Raffle Campaign Sun- Totals so Far day, April 1st-687.99, 3rd- 15. 1080, 4th-2177.75 , 5th- 2800 6th-2003, 7th-2046.41, 8th- 6532 Wow!
