After one week, seven days, one hundred and sixty eight hours…NCSY Kollel finally got to experience it’s first full day schedule!
Following a jam-packed week with sports, trips, an incredible Shabbos, and little time to get over jet lag, nothing could be sweeter than a regular day on the NCSY Summer Kollel. The shiurim and Chaburahs that made up the morning’s learning were intense and exciting, and they were highlighted by the addition of Rav Schachter, shlita, to the Beis Medrash, who could be found throughout the day giving shiur and learning privately with staff members and NCSYers alike.
Leagues were in full swing this afternoon, with a full schedules of six hockey games and seventeen basketball games (yes, for those of you counting at home, we added a new basketball court this summer). This included the summer’s first “Marquee Matchup”, a different game chosen every day that includes prizes for the winners (in this case, Burgers Bar) and events like halftime dunk contests.
Night Seder was strong as usual and was followed by the grand opening of the Sack Shack, led by Binyamin Glanz, which served delicious hot food in preparation for tomorrow’s fast. This was combined with an amazing showing for optional post-Maariv learning, which overall made for an awesome night.
We are very much looking forward to what promises to be an inspiring and meaningful day tomorrow as we observe the 17th of Tammuz fast.
