Alumni Online-a-thon

We are proud to introduce a ground-breaking new idea: Our first VTHS Alumni Online-a-thon! We need every alumnus to participate in this event. (More after the video)

The Online-a-thon will harness the power of today’s new online media and is a replacement for the old-fashioned telethon. On April 11-15 we will gather over 100 alumni to try to reconnect with the over 2,000 VTHS alumni. This blog will keep everyone informed of the progress of the Online-a-thon on a minute-by-minute basis.

I am sure that every alumnus would be happy to participate in this event. We need to schedule volunteers for, at least, two hour shifts during the Online-a-thon. If you are able to volunteer, please e-mail us at vths@vths.org.

Father-Son Breakfast and Learning

The VTHS Menlo Family Boys Division’s first Father-Son Breakast and Learning Program held this morning was a great success. After davening, everyone was treated to a catered breakfast. Rabbi Felt welcomed all the guests and introduced Yosef Guttierez, a VTHS student, who spoke about the megillah. After breakfast, the boys and their fathers’ went to their gemara shiur classrooms to prepare a gemara (Megillah 3a) with their rebbe. After this preparation, Rabbi Biron gave a short shiur for the entire group on that gemara. The program concluded with a shmuess by Rabbi Stulberger.
