Our alumni returned to the Read moreBeit Midrash to learn alongside current students, sharing Torah, ideas, and the connections that continue long after graduation.

Not just a school, a FAMILY! #sarhsclassof2030 #stingnation
When we stood together on the steps to commemorate October 7th, we understood Read morethat at moments like this, sometimes only silence can hold what words cannot. Silence to honor what was lost, to recognize what remains, and to sit with what we still cannot understand. Three years later, all three are still true.
We honored our chayalim, including teachers and members of our own SAR community, who have served. We welcomed Tomer Meir and Millet Ben Shabat, survivors of the Nova Music Festival. Tomer, a paratrooper and medic, had gone to Nova to celebrate finishing his army service. Millet hid in an open field for six hours, sending her family a message of love as her phone battery died. Both lost friends that day. Millet lost her cousin. They shared their stories with middle and high school students asking them to remember the people who helped, the ones who bravely came back for people over two days, and saved lives, and to let that gratitude shape how we act every day.
Thank you, Tomer and Millet, for sharing your stories with us.

Not just a school, a FAMILY!
Freshman Day at Glen Island Park broughtRead more our ninth graders together for team-building, chesed, and plenty of fun. Each student added a hexagon with their name to a shared mural. Just as the hexagons of a honeycomb fit together to build a hive, each student helps shape our SAR family. A reminder that everyone belongs and has something special to contribute.
Here’s to new friendships, growing together, and making the Hive our home!

October 7th Commemoration On the Steps | SAR Academy
"Looking at you gives me hope."
On October 7, Millet Ben Read moreShabat went to Nova to dance with her friends but ended up in the brush, only to be rescued six hours later. On the third anniversary of October 7, Millet asked our students to remember that "alongside the darkness of that day, there was light: the people who helped, who saved lives, who stood by us as friends."
Thank you, Millet, for bringing that light to us today.
Our senior class was invited by the Israeli Embassy for a special commemorationRead more for October 7 at the U.N. The program, “Rise, Recover, Rebuild” featured inspirational remarks by Ambassador Danny Danon and a harrowing firsthand account by the tazpitanit, Oriya Berlin. We were privileged to hear the hopeful message of Eliya Cohen and Ziv Aboud, who survived the Nova massacre. Eliya was taken hostage in Gaza and after his release he reunited with Ziv and they were married just two weeks ago.
This was a powerful and meaningful experience that our students will carry with them as we remember the October 7th massacre.
