Efraim Greenberg is currently enjoying his fourth summer on NCSY Summer Kollel, and his second as a Madrich. Hailing from Bergenfield, NJ, Efraim attended MTA for high school, before making his way over to Israel where he spent two years learning in Yeshivat Shaalvim. Efraim is currently entering his second year at Yeshiva University.
The chevra in Efraim’s chaburah consists of growth-oriented Bnei Torah who are looking to grow spiritually and further their relationship with Hashem. They are some of the best guys around: Dovie Hirsch (DRS), Jonathan Posner (TABC), Yishai Kaufman (HANC), Elie Schlossberg (DRS) and Eitan Ross (DRS). Each of them brings their own level of insight and excitement to the chaburas, making the amazing unit even stronger.
This summer, the chaburah is focusing on the Aseret HaDibrot. Each of the Aseret HaDibrot consists of 2 chaburahs. The first chaburah goes through the suggiah, listing different opinions and questions on the pesukim from specific Rishonim. The second chaburah goes through the machshavah and halachic shaylot that comes up within the Dibor. For example, the 4th of the Aseret HaDibrot is the mitzvah of Shabbos. The first chaburah goes through the distinction between zachor and shamor and the second chaburah forces a discussion of what it means to have a day of rest.
All in all, Efraim’s chaburah has learned so much from one another and has grown tremendously throughout the summer. The burah looks forward to having continued growth and success in their Yiddishkeit as they return back home to their senior year!
