Daily Update
Sunday was a great example of this. There was no letdown from our incredible Shabbat. To the contrary, shiurim and chaburas were particularly strong and enjoyed a post-Old City lift. There was further excitement on the courts. The playoff field was set over the last two days of the season, and quite a few games went down to the wire. Ariel Rapps and Ethan Jerome shot their team towards a high seed, while our two time defending champion, Michael Friedman, was finally eliminated.

Back in the Beit Medrash, we started night seder with a sicha from Rav Tani Lauer. We bade farewell to Rav Twersky, who flew back to the U.S. for a family simcha. Post Maariv, we began conducting meetings for different geographical regions to plan follow up events throughout the year in North America. This is part of a new venture being run by Rabbi Yehuda Chanales, under the auspices of NCSY. Rabbi Chanales will be working with our administration in developing substantive programming for young men (including Shabbatons, learning programs, reunions, and more) outside of the regular school framework. Sunday night’s meeting focused on Queens and Nassau County, and was most productive. Meetings for New Jersey, Chicago, South Florida and Los Angeles were scheduled for later in the week. The late night also saw another NCSY Kollel first, as we combined a farewell party for Assistant Head Madrich Josh Schulman with the first ever night Hockey game. Kudos to Yaakov Burack for his hat trick! NCSY KOLLEL 2009
One of the most beautiful aspects of NCSY Kollel is the interplay between the learning and non-learning activities. While we spend many hours outside of the Beit Medrash, much of that time channels energy and excitement right back into the learning
