The Yomim Noraim are truly inspiring here at YTC. Many talmidim joined the Yeshiva for Davening on Rosh HaShana. Many found participating in the Tefilos in their own makom Torah with their Rabbeim and chaveirim to be an uplifting and inspiring experience.

One of the hallmarks of the Aseres Yimei Teshuva at YTC has been a session with Rabbi Gedalya Glatt. Rabbi Glatt has been inspiring our talmidim with yearnings for Teshuva before Yom Kippur for more than two decades, and this year was no different. He wove the words of Chazal and poignant vignettes into a tapestry that was delightful for the ears and stirring for the soul. He challenged the talmidim to deal with others not as they act toward us, but rather, to deal with them as Hashem acts toward us, with unbridled chessed and compassion. Rabbi Glatt's wisdom seems only to be outmatched by his wit, and we hope he continues to inspire us for many years to come.

We await with much anticipation the completion of the current stage of our school renovation project. The imminent return to the renovated wing will provide us with a brand new science lab, newly-furnished spacious classrooms and faculty offices, a remodeled high school Bais Medrash/Auditorium and a greatly expanded Media Center and Computer Lab. The students and teachers will all benefit from the new facilities. We are especially looking forward to the availability of the new Media Center for individual and class study and computer time, and the use of our growing reference and circulation collection in both Judaic and Secular studies.

Immediately after Yom Tov, all of our 10th and 11th grade students will be taking the PSAT exam. Over the past four years, at least one student per year has placed in the National Merit Scholarship Competition as a commended student, a semi-finalist or finalist. Baruch Hashem, our quality program and serious learning environment enable our students to attain significant levels of accomplishment in all areas of the curriculum.

Have a meaningful Yom Kippur and wonderful Succos.
