Isaac Shulman is spending his 7th straight summer (3rd as a madrich) on the NCSY Kollel. He has long been seeking to overthrow Binyamin Kaminetsky and Asher Becker as the longest continuous members the program. From Englewood, NJ, Isaac attended TABC high school, spent a year in Yeshivat Har Etzion, and has been in Yeshiva University for the last 4 years learning under Rav Rosensweig. Isaac’s sports preferences are eclectic, to say the least: his favorites are soccer, tennis, and ping-pong.
In Isaac’s chaburah are David Ivry from Woodmere, NY, Yehuda Shetrit from Long Beach, NY, Adam Zahler from West Hempstead, NY, who all attend DRS high school, Zevi Eisenberg from Lawrence, NY, a proud member of YFR, and, last but certainly not least, Efraim Wiener who hails from Memphis, Tennessee and attends Cooper high school.
Together, Isaac and his Chabura are learning the first Perek of Bava Metzia, exploring the Halakha’s response to cases of disputed possession. They will explore the impact of physical control of objects, the potency of claims made in court, and the function of courts in cases of insufficient evidence, to mention just a few of the factors they will address. Though they hope to gain deep understanding of these specific factors, the primary goals for the chaburah are to kindle interest in a rigorous study of gemara, as well as to mold a specific form of analytic thinking that can apply to the broad spectrum of topics across Halakha.
Isaac’s chaburah is excited to have an amazing summer together as they grow closer as a chaburah and enjoy an amazing six weeks together learning and having fun!
