Torah Academy masters mitzvot
Eighteen students from Torah Academy Primary School recently took part in the international Chidon Sefer Hamitzvos competition, which encourages children to master the 613 mitzvot over five years from Grade 4 to Grade 8.

The programme, implemented by schools across the globe, uses the acclaimed Yahadus curriculum created by the Living Lessons Foundation, a series of textbooks explaining each mitzvah, its source in the Torah, and its details.
Students who achieve a 70% overall average for their tests are awarded with a shabbaton in New York. Last year, five Torah Academy students attended the shabbaton, two of which represented the school on stage at a public game show.
