Ezra Baron is currently enjoying his second year on NCSY Kollel, where he is serving as a Madrich for the first time. Ezra attended TABC for two years, before taking his talents to the Ayalon Valley and Yeshivat Sha’alvim for two years. He hopes to be starting YU in the upcoming fall.
Ezra’s chaburah has the perfect balance of the best in-towners and best out-of-towners. The out-of-towners consist of Ami Buck from Baltimore (TA), who always amazes with his thirst for Torah, and Gadi Amster from Los Angeles (MBY) whose consistency in the Chaburah is unmatched. On the in-towner side is Micah Cyrulnik (TABC), who always knows the answers before there is even a question, and last but not least, Eitan(Lefko) Lefkowitz from TABC, who always provides the entertainment for the Chaburah and keeps the guys going strong. Despite hailing from different backgrounds, the guys have meshed really well together and have become very good friends.
Ezra’s chaburah have been trying to understand the Mitzvos we do every day on a deeper level. In recent days, they have studied topics such as Tefillah, Talmud Torah, and Yarmulkas, discussing deep and interesting questions like “if Hashem knows what’s best for us then why are we davening”, and “what is the purpose of learning Torah which isn’t immediately practical”. The guys are always bouncing sharp ideas off each other, and trying to understand the reasons for why we do what we do. Through these topics and discussions, the chaburah hopes to help guys have more Kavanah when going through the daily motions and feel more passion for what we often do by rote.
Ezra is super excited for the rest of the summer and for the chaburah to keep reaching new heights, both this summer, and beyond.
