Sam Gelman is returning for his 4th summer in a row on NCSY Kollel. This summer is Sam’s first as a Madrich, and he feels extremely blessed to have been given this incredible opportunity. As a Madrich on NCSY Kollel, one has the opportunity to develop real relationships with excited and motivated high school students, and Sam intends to take full advantage of the opportunity. Sam has the distinct honor of being the only player in Kollel history to score the Championship game-winning, overtime goal in consecutive hockey seasons (’13, ’14).
Sam’s Chaburah consists of six amazing ncsyers: Akiva Splaver from Hollywood (FL), Eitan Mehlman from Flushing (NY), Binyamin Ciment from West Hempstead (NY), Zach Finkleman from West Hempstead (NY), Ephraim Kroopnick from Bergenfield (NJ), and last but not least, Mordechai Glatter from Teaneck (NJ). After only a few weeks on the kollel, it is clear that the NCSYers in Sam’s Chaburah are very special young men who are kind, sensitive, respectful, and inspired to grow in many areas of life.
So far, the chaburah has enjoyed learning and hanging out together, and with each passing day are becoming closer as a group. This summer, Sam’s chaburah is learning from the teachings of Rabbi David Aaron, about the inner self, and why it is that we are all infinitely greater than we think we are. The members of the Chaburah are engaged and are asking great questions, and with Hashem’s help they will continue to be inspired and bring much nachas to hashem and their parents!
