Hoshana Rabba Night Alumni Sedar in WITS

36 WITS Rebbeim, talmidim, and former talmidim partipated in a Hoshana Rabba night sedar.  It was a beautiful combination of talmidim originally from Milwaukee and talmidim that married girls from Milwaukee families.  Overall, it was a very inspiring atmosphere and brought back fond memories and good refreshments.

 Automatic Update-#40 AVI KRAMER SIGNS UP
picture of shiur outside
Thank you to Avi Kramer (Class of 1997) for signing up as #40 before Sukkos.
He is pictured smiling with the statue that has been made as a tribute to his signing up as #40.  (OK-so the statue was at the zoo-did you make it to the zoo during chol hamoed?)  Our goal was 40 before Sukkos, thank you to everyone for helping reach this goal.  Now that we have a solid foundation, we can shoot for 60 by Chanukah. An anonymous alumnus has pledged to match the first month of anyone who pledges monthly or raises their pledge before Chanukah.  (i.e. if you pledge $100 monthly, he will give $100 to the scholarship fund)  What greater incentive could there be to join now.  Let us maximize his generous incentive pledge. 
  Isn't it great to see Wisconsin Institute for Torah Study on your credit/banking statement?(I know the full name gets cut off the statement sometimes but at least you could get part of the name on your credit/banking statement!)

A new option has been added for monthly participants at the suggestion of an alumnus- if you are not the automatic type, you just want to do it the old-fashioned manual way, WITS can send you a monthly email reminder to pay your pledge.(i.e. if you pledge $25 monthly, you get a monthly email reminder to send in a check)  Contact me at alumni@witsyeshiva.com for more information.
Join now with a click of the button at $25 a month-
Join at $50 a month.
Join at $100 a month.
