WITS Then and Now: As you can see the Bais Medrash is plugging away. But if you look at the picture below you can see that the Torah in WITS has always brought smiles to the faces of talmidim. Is that you in the picture? E-mail me at alumni@witsyeshiva.com if you know who it is.

If these pictures make you nostalgic for learning, email me at alumni@witsyeshiva.com and get set up with a fellow alumnus or WITS Rebbe for some learning on the phone or in person if possible.
