Rebbitzin Aviva Feiner spoke to seventh grade students and their mothers. After a little “chavruta" time (partnered learning) in the newly renovated HAFTR Middle School Beit Medrash, the mothers and girls explored the difference between happiness and wealth.
Who is the truly rich person? The one who is happy with his/her portion. It was beautiful to watch as the girls and their mothers literally and figuratively came closer together that evening.
