Tell us a bit about yourself. (E.G. job, family, hobby, where you live)

I Live in Chicago. 1st grade Rebbi Assistant, 9th-12th Grade Business Math/ English Teacher for local Yeshiva, Dorm Counselor for another local Yeshivah. I’m enrolled in a two year online course in Industrial & Organizational Psychology.

What is one of your favorite memories, Shiurim, Rebbeim, or events while attending Bais?

R Mincus giving me a shutout in his shavous vaad to 1st yr. my Chaburas in Yeshivah were great experiences. I enjoyed learning with R Glick, R Berman, Reb Moshe & The Shul Umeishivs. Bein Hazmanim learning and eating by the Kollel Guys was very Memorable.

How has your time at Bais influenced or helped you in your life?

Gave Me confidence, brought out my Personality. Built Social skills, and learned how to pick up a sefer and go, and the correct mechalech for me as well. Additionally I gained a very solid hashkafa.

What advice would you give a fellow Bais Alumni?

Keep in touch with the Rabbeim, don’t take light saying over your memories of yeshiva days. Make a Chavrusa with an old Buddy from yeshivah. Donate and give back to Beis. Make a sincere effort to visit. Give over as much as you got from yeshiva to your surrounding.
