HTC Celebrates at 89th Annual Banquet
| |
On November 22, 2011, HTC held its 89th annual banquet at the Westin O'Hare Hotel. HTC celebrated the 50th anniversary of Fasman Yeshiva High School. Since its inception, FYHS has served over 2000 students as the premier Yeshiva High School in the Midwest.
 The Rabbinic Leadership Award was presented to Rabbi Benjamin Shandalov, an HTC Musmach of 1959, who served as the Assistant Dean of Students from 1973-1981. Rabbi Shandalov also served as the Kashruth Administrator of the Chicago Rabbinical Council, leading Chicago's kashruth agency to new levels.
 The Distinguished Alumnus Award was presented to Rabbi Dr. Edward Reichman, a class of 1981 FYHS alumnus from Milwaukee, who earned his Bachelor of Arts from Yeshiva University and Semicha from RIETS. HTC is extremely proud of Rabbi Dr. Reichman's accomplishments in the field of Jewish medical ethics. Rabbi Dr. Reichman, an Associate Professor of Emergency Medicine at the Albert Einstein School of Medicine, lectures worldwide on the topic of Jewish Medical Ethics. He and his wife Sara, a psychologist in private practice, live in Woodmere, NY, with their four children.
