Yeshivat He’Atid Out-of-School Birthday Party Policy

At Yeshivat He’Atid, we take pride in fostering a community characterized by warmth, kindness, inclusivity, and a sense of togetherness. Our commitment to nurturing exceptional middot and a strong moral compass in our children is a defining value of our school. The positive reputation of our students as inclusive and kind individuals reflects these values and is a source of immense pride for our entire community.

To uphold these values, we have established the following policy regarding out-of-school birthday parties:

Inclusivity in Invitations

• When hosting an out-of-school birthday party, we require that parents either:

  • Invite the entire class.

  • Invite all the children of the same gender within the class.

• This policy aims to prevent hurt feelings and ensure that all children feel included.

• For small gatherings in lieu of a larger party, please limit invitations to three children only.

• Please be mindful to remain inclusive if inviting students from other classes.

Kashrut Guidelines

• All food served at the party must bear one of the following acceptable Kashrut certifications: OU, Kof-K, Star K, OK, or RCBC.

• We also ask that hosts be mindful of children with specific food allergies and take appropriate precautions when planning the menu.

Brachot

• Please remind the children to recite the appropriate brachot before and after eating.

Should you have any questions or require clarification, please do not hesitate to contact a school administrator.
Thank you for partnering with us to ensure that our community remains one of kindness, respect, and inclusion.
