Moshe Spirn is from Lawrence, New York. He just finished attending Yeshivat Shaalvim in Israel for the past two years after attending DRS for high school. Next year, he will be attending Yeshiva University. This is Moshe’s fifth summer on NCSY Kollel, but his first summer as a Madrich. He is enjoying his new role and to having an amazing summer with his Chaburah thusfar.
Moshe’s Chaburah is comprised of six members: Benyamin Bortz from Woodmere, NY (DRS), Levi Boshnack from Brooklyn, NY (Mesivta Tiferes Yisroel), Dubi Fischman from Woodmere, NY (DRS), Daniel Friedman from Cedarhurst, NY (HAFTR), Gadi Polster from Beachwood, OH (Fuchs Mizrachi School), and Etan Winograd from Boca Raton, FL (YHS); all whom have shown tremendous growth and excitement for the learning so far.
In Moshe’s Chaburah, their learning will be built off the second משנה in פרקי אבות, the idea that the world stands on three things: תורה, עבודה, and גמילות חסדים. The last two weeks they have spent time learning סוגיות related to תורה such as some reasons that we learn תורה, the nature of ברכות התורה, and what type of students do we teach תורה to. The next two weeks will be spent on learning סוגיות that have to do with תפילה. Finally, the last two weeks they will learn סוגיות that have to do with בין אדם לחבירו relationships.
The Chabura has already developed into a warm, tight knit unit, has developed a strong sense of camaraderie, and is aiming to grow as a team through both physical and spiritual experiences this summer. It’s already looking unbelievable, and Moshe and his Chaburah know that this summer will only continue to get better!
