Today’s Chabura spotlight is on Yitz Richmond’s chabura.
Yitz is from Teaneck, NJ, and has spent his past two summers at Camp Kayitz in Chicago, and in Camp Simcha. After participating as an NCSYer for two summers, following 10th and 11th grade, Yitz is proud to finally to be on the Kollel staff.
The NCSYers in Yitz’s chabura are Doni Dror (Los Angeles, CA),Ezra Hagler (Bergenfield, NJ), Avi Hirsch (Teaneck, NJ), Moshe Rosensweig(Jamaica Estates, NY), and Jesse Schwalb (Monsey, NY).
Throughout this summer, there has been a special emphasis ondiscussing contemporary topics in Halacha and Hashkafa. The chabura started thesummer by discussing the halachic ramifications of redeeming captives, specificallyfocusing on redeeming Gilad Schalit, and recently finished discussing”contradictions” between science and the Gemera. Yitz hopes tochallenge the members of his chabura and engage them in lively discussions.
This past Thursday night, Doni Dror was ceremoniously crowned the winner of the week’s chabura trivia contest. Previously, Ezra Hagler was the victor. This upcoming Thursday will prove to be a highly competitive match as everyone will once again compete for bragging rights and of course… a free Schwarma.
