Greetings!
Gutten Erev Shabbos.

This past Sunday's Alumni Gathering in New York was an event I won't forget. From the sushi to the magician, to the speeches all the way down to the desserts, everything was fabulous. It was great seeing everybody there. If you weren't able to make it, well, there's something to look forward to next year. Click here to read a letter that Yekusiel Sebrow asked me to share with you.

3rd Annual Alumni Gathering in New York

The following is an article that appeared in this week's YTC Spotlight.

This past Sunday, YTC held its 3rd Annual Alumni Gathering. This year's event was truly spectacular! Well over 100 alumni flooded the home of Mr. & Mrs. Ari Goodman (YTC "97) in Cedarhurst, NY. The event featured Divrei Torah, great food, professional entertainment, and best of all, a chance to reconnect with Rabbeim and old friends.

Rabbi Yisroel Y. Niman, Rosh HaYeshiva, was joined by Rabbi Akiva Grunblatt, Rosh HaYeshiva of Yeshivas Chofetz Chaim and Rabbi Bentzion Chait, Director of the National Torah Initiative of Yeshivas Chofetz Chaim, both former YTC Roshei HaYeshiva, in sharing words of chizuk with the group, as well as some recollections from the "old days". Also in attendance was Rabbi Mordechai Palgon, Rosh HaYeshiva and our Alumni Director, Avrohom Eliezer Friedman. The event was coordinated by Moshe Bernstein (YTC "97).

At the conclusion of the event, a raffle was drawn, and Mr. & Mrs. Brian Kramer (BMZE "05) won two round-trip tickets to South Florida. The true winners, however, were all those who left with a renewed kesher with their Rabbeim, chaveirim and Yeshiva.


Here are some pictures from the event. To see more, please visit our Photo Gallery.

Letter from Brian Kramer


Dear Friends:
 
Unfortunately, my mother - Alta Sara bas Ita - was recently diagnosed with a rare form of cancer.  I am therefore asking that you learn and daven bezechus that she should have a refuah shlaima.   
 
As an additional motivation, for those who are eligible there is a raffle for two round trip tickets to Israel. See attached. Please, also distribute this to your family and friends. 
 
If you should have any questions please contact me at KramerLawNY@gmail.com. 
 
Thank you!
 
Gratefully yours, 
 
Brian Kramer
