Jonny Silber is returning for his 4th summer in a row, and 5 out of the last 6, on the NCSY Summer Kollel. Having spent summers as a camper, CIT, support staff, and Madrich, Jonny re-joins the ranks this summer for his second year as a Madrich. Hailing from Lawrence, NY, Jonny has spent the last year in Yeshiva University, after having taken his talents for two years to Yeshivat Shaalvim.
Jonny’s Chaburah consists of six post 10th graders with some of the most Geshmak and awesome personalities. Starting with their dynamic duo, hailing from Brooklyn, NY, they got Yosef Goldstein (DRS) and Marty Stevens (DRS). Staying within NY, reigning from Monsey, they sport Coby Sorotzkin (MTA). Moving on to the out of town chevra, they tout the legendary trio of Jonny Posner (HAM), David Silverman (YULA) and Joshua Wolfe (Farber). Their Chaburah started off strong with an opening night victory in their Chaburah challenges where they really exhibited a masterful performance during Chaburah lineup, with 3 of the last 6 contestants coming from their Chaburah. After such an impressive start, the Chaburah has not disappointed since. They lead the league in most dominant chills and most time spent in Chaburahs. However, Jonny’s Chaburah also knows how to shteig hard. They are delving into deep sugyas in Sefer Bereishis, as well as analyzing halachic shaylas from the series given by Jonny’s Rebbe, Rabbi Aryeh Lebowitz. The series, “From the Rabbi’s Desk,” consists of halachic questions that come up when serving as a Rabbi in a shul, where the chaburah tries to analyze and discuss how we would answer up these shaylas.
Jonny and his Chaburah have enjoyed a tremendous start to their summer and are looking to only build from here as they continue toward the rest of this unforgettable summer.
