lag b'omer 2008
WITS Lag B'omer outing was a blast as usual, a highlight to a great year of Yeshiva. 
Thank you to Nachy and Huvie Shabat(Class of 1991) for sponsoring this event in memory of Rav Shaul ben Menachem Mendel A"H.   Yaakov Winter and Bernie Kramer, WITS' seniors, won the annual 2 on 2 tournament.  They look forward to playing on the alumni team some day. The evening hit its high point when Rabbi Rennert spoke around the Lag B'omer bonfire, and the singing increased to uplifting levels.  Video of the day should be available shortly at witsalumni.com

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.
