Four Students to represent NYHS at the

AIPAC Schusterman Advocacy Institute High School Summit in Washington D.C.

Earlier this year, the American-Israel Public Affairs Committee (AIPAC) invited NYHS to nominate up to four students to participate in their upcoming AIPAC Schusterman Advocacy Institute High School Summit on November 6-8, 2011 in Alexandra, VA.   This weekend, Josh Appelbaum 2012, Grace Almo 2013, Talia Etskeson 2013 and Halle Friedland 2013 will be representing NYHS at the conference.  Also, Jessica Schwartz 2013 will be attending as a representative of USY.

The 2011 Schusterman Advocacy Institute High School Summit will bring together 400 students from select Jewish Day Schools, synagogue youth groups, and teen leadership organizations nationwide that are committed to supporting the US-Israel relationship through involvement in the American political process.  Throughout the High School Summit, AIPAC aims to provide your students with the most advanced political training available, so that they can be more effective activists for a strong US-Israel relationship.

Nominated students are only responsible for airfare and travel to and from the hotel.  All conference expenses including lodging and food are being paid by AIPAC. 

All NYHS students were invited to apply.  To apply, students wrote an essay in response to the following questions:

1)     What is the value of the relationship between America and Israel? 

2)     What can you do to affect this relationship?

The essays were judged blind by a panel that included administrators, teachers and a board member.

We look forward to hearing about the students' experience in next week's E-Bulletin.

Ashley Cohen was in town over the holidays and stopped in for a visit.  Ashley is in the undergraduate College of Nursing at New York University.  This semester she is taking Chemistry, Childhood Brain Development, Sociology and Writing.  She feels very prepared for college and the course load and attributes her ease in the transition from high school to college to the skills she learned at NYHS.  

Ashley loves the vibrant life both on and off campus in New York.  She is active in the campus Hillel and says that Jewish life on campus is both vibrant and readily available with access to plenty of kosher food, Orthodox and every kind of services and learning and plenty of Jewish clubs and student activities.

Gabi Feuer 2001 

Gabi Feuer graduated from NYHS in 2001 and studied at Yeshiva B'nai Torah in Far Rockaway.  He then entered Touro College and earned a BS in Management and Marketing. While at Touro College and Yeshiva B'nai Torah Gabi was enlisted by a local family to teach their three middle school children general studies to complement their home schooling.  For the past four years, Gabi has been living in New York City and is a Senior Mortgage Consultant at Universal Mortgage.

Gabi says, "I have fond memories of Yeshiva and value the education I received.  I am grateful for both the Judaic and General Studies programs at the Yeshiva that truly prepared me not just for college, but for life as an adult.  The ability to think critically, organize my thoughts logically and categorically are skill that I use daily in my business and personal life.  Without these tools I would not be where I am today."
