Eilat Tiyul

Last week, the Yeshiva went on its annual 3 day trip to Eilat. The talmidim went on two hikes, including the very difficult Har Shlomo and Ein Ovdat, visited Ben Gurion's Kever, and went banana boating and tubing.  The talmidim were accompanied by the madrichim, the Av Bayit, Avi Goldberg with his wife, Rav Zvi Herman, Rav Yehuda Mirsky, Rav Lavey Freedman and Moe Berman.

Under the guidance of Rav Kfir Dadon, some of the talmidim are learning Safrut during
their afternoon seder. The Yeshiva is extremely proud of Joseph "Yoey" Feigenbaum for

Rabbi Gav Friedman

Rabbi Gav Friedman, a lecturer at Aish Hatorah, gave a shiur to
the talmidim.  The shiur was on the topic of working on one's
midos specifically regarding arrogance and anger.

Superbowl!!

One of the highlights of the year is watching the Superbowl together
as a Yeshiva.  First, the talmidim were treated to 3 outstanding shiurim
by Rav Lavey, Rav Pizem, and Rav Burg.  The talmidim then proceeded
down to the Chadar Ochel, where Moe had set up the superbowl on a big
projection screen as well as a huge shmorgasbord of wings, hot dogs,
chicken fingers, schwarma and french fries.
