Shlomo Stark is Assistant to the Assistant Director and a long-time kollel legend.
1. You’ve been with Kollel for a while. What brings you back year after year?
I think it is a couple of things. The staff is amazing, there is an incredible ruach, all-star rebbeim, great basketball… It really Is the complete package.
2. If you could have dinner with any four staff members who would you pick?
I think I would go with Rabbi Benovitz obviously. If night shiur rebbeim count I have to pick Rav Blachman. I think my third is Rabbi Lebowitz, and I’ll throw [Jonothan] Gibber in there just to mix things up
3. What do you think is the key to Kollel’s success?
I think they do a great job in hiring the best staff to fit the needs of the campers. Its not just about hiring the most talented people. You need to find the best staff to meet your specific campers needs, and I think kollel does a great job of that.
