Chaburah Spotlight: Eitan Joel

NCSY Kollel August 4, 2025

Eitan Joel is in the process of having an incredible second year on NCSY Kollel — his first as a madrich. Eitan attended Fuchs Mizrachi School from the age of three all the way through high school graduation, just finished his second year at Yeshivat Sha’alvim, and will be attending Yeshiva University this fall.

Eitan’s Chaburah is made up of a wide range of guys spanning four cities, three countries, and two continents. It starts off with the two guys hailing from Pittsburgh: Gavi Poznanski (Hillel) and Coby Shaw (Hillel). They are complemented by the Florida man, Yehuda Shilo (Ohr HaTorah). Following them is the legend from up north — the Montrealer — Isaac Laredo (Hebrew Academy of Montreal). Wrapping it all up, coming from the Holy Land itself, is Chaim Moshe Shapiro from Sha’alvim.

This incredible group has been focusing on the halachos and kavana one should have while performing mitzvos that arise frequently in day-to-day life — such as netilas yadayim, tzitzis, Talmud Torah, and more.

While the Chaburah has already accomplished so much, this is only the beginning. There’s no doubt they’ll continue growing stronger every single day.
