Big Brother/Big Sister
Seniors mentor incoming Freshman, beginning at Freshman Orientation. The relationships are developed at Freshman Retreat and continue through the year.

Chessed Society
The goal of the Chessed Society is to improve Frisch students’ sense of themselves by enhancing the lives of others. Chessed Society’s projects include, but are not limited to: Daughters of Miriam Simulated School Day: Senior citizens come to Frisch to attend a Torah studies class and have lunch with their student learning-partners. Holiday visits to senior citizen residences. Simulated sedorim at senior citizen centers. Peer tutoring. Food drives for Thanksgiving and Passover. Sukkah decorating at group homes. Chessed Newsletter - published twice a year. Attendance at the Bikur Cholim Conference sponsored by the Board of Jewish Education.

Kahal
Kahal promotes Jewish life at Frisch and sponsors activities to benefit Jewish causes and organizations. Each year, Kahal runs a “three on three” basketball tournament and produces a Jewish music concert whose proceeds go to tzedakah. Students select which Jewish tzedakah fund the proceeds will benefit.

Linking the Generations- LTG
Frisch students bridge the generation gap with our community’s elderly through this outstanding Chessed program. Students go on monthly visits to the Daughters of Miriam Apartments in Clifton, New Jersey with the objective of becoming pen pals and phone pals to the seniors living there.

Student Council
Student Council provides student liaison to the administration of Frisch and promotes student involvement in major issues arising within the Frisch community and in the community at large. Student Council also attempts to improve student life at Frisch. At the meetings, minutes are read, issues are debated and decisions are made. Some Student Council activities include: pep rallies, big brother/big sister programs, Frisch clothing drive, student ID’s, student directory, sale of Dunkin Donuts, and the election assembly. Two representatives per grade are elected each year. Four executive officers are also elected for a total of 12 members.
