It has become a YTC tradition. On Memorial Day, all the talmidim gather for a special assembly to mark the day, and acknowledge students who have excelled with special recognition awards. This year, the Yeshiva had the privilege to be inspired by Mr. Gary Yarus as well.
Mr. Yarus has more than 30 years experience in real estate, brokerage, financing, ownership and management. He inspired the talmidim to excel at whatever they choose to do. He encouraged them to find a mentor, and develop their G-d given talents. He said, "I know each one of you here today has a specific set of talents. You need to "play your strengths." Find your special talent and pursue it with passion. By doing this, you will help the Jewish People and the world."
At the assembly, 13 students were inducted to the Yeshiva Toras Chaim chapter of the National Honor Society. They were recognized for having demonstrated excellence in scholarship, leadership, service, and character.
Numerous other academic and non-academic awards were also presented to scores of talmidim. In closing, Rosh HaYeshiva Rabbi Mordechai Palgon remarked, "Really, each and every student who is able to persevere despite our demanding shiurim and secular classes and challenging schedule, is deserving of recognition. Yasher Koach to you all!
