Mordy Dubin is spending his 3rd summer on NCSY Kollel, but this is his first as a madrich. He attended the Kollel after 10th grade and then took a 2 year detour working in Camp Mesorah as a counselor. He came back to the Kollel last summer as a Jr. Madrich. Mordy hails from Teaneck, NJ, where he attended TABC for high school. In TABC, Mordy was involved in the Chessed Committee and the hockey team. Following graduation, he took his talents to Jerusalem where he spent 2 years at Yeshivat HaKotel. That lasted until this past Pesach, following which Mordy began his collegiate studies at Yeshiva University. Mordy is an avid hockey fan and practicing goalie (if you want to score, aim for his glove side). In addition to his athletic pursuits, Mordy is captivated by multiple areas of Torah, specifically Gemara and Tanach. The latter are the focus of his Chaburot this summer based on the teachings of Rabbi David Fohrman.
The Most Interesting Chaburah (MIC) in Beit Meir hit the ground running and hasn’t stopped. Composed of Ari Zwiren (Newport Beach, LA), Yonatan Cohen-Melamed (Pittsburgh, PA), Alex Kupchik (West Hempstead, NY), Ilan Yehuda Schnitzer (New York, NY), and Shlomo Stark (Ranana, Israel) and led by Mordy Dubin (Teaneck, NJ), the MIC is spending Chaburahs this summer analyzing stories and themes in Tanach. So far, we’ve covered the Aseret HaDibrot and Akeidat Yitzchak. Currently, we’re taking a look at Birkat HaMazon, specifically through the prism of “Shir Hama’alot” (Psalms 126) and “Al Naharot Bavel” (Psalms 137).
Shlomo Stark said, “Although everyone in our chaburah comes from different backgrounds, the way we learn together, we all merge as one. We’re like brothers.”
