It was a snowy Purim this year at WITS.  Dancing stayed indoors, and it was an uplifting experience for all.  The music, food, Rebbeim, and friends had everyone determined to stay at WITS for another Purim.

Yossi

Suggestions for him are welcome at alumni@witsyeshiva.com

Shmuz with me over coffee!
starbucksMy favorite thing to do as Director of Alumni Affairs is talk to the alumni and listen to
what is going on in your lives. And if you don't have anything to say I can tell you what is going on at  WITS.   So call anytime at (414)963-9317 x124
And don't forget to grab yourself a cup of coffee.
 
 
 WITS Mishnayos Project! We need a lot more participation to finish all of Mishnayos.
MishnayosI think the WITS Alumni collectively can finish all of Mishnayos.  Go to shloshim.org to sign up for a mesechta! Register and search for Leah Chinyah bas Esther Bracha or Lynne Hellman(my mother).   The finish date is set for June 15, 2008- WITS graduation.  And if you want a chavrusah, I can learn with you(414)963-9317 x124 or set up a chavrusah with an old WITS friend/Rebbe. Sign up today!
