Gilad Vann is a 3-year Kollel veteran who is joining the Madrich Staff for the first time. Gilad learnt for 2 years in Yeshivat Ohr Yerushalayim and now learns in Shor Yashuv in Far Rockaway. Gilad’s calm demeanor and professional attitude make him a natural fit amongst the madrichim. He is also the residential expert on the NCSY Kollel Shabbaton in Gush, having attended all 3 years in Kollel.
Gilad leads a true all-star group of guys in his Chaburah. From New York there is Shmuel Pak (Cedarhurst), Yehuda Davidson (Flushing) and Yaakov Jacobowitz (Woodmere), all of whom attend DRS. Donny Morris is from Bergenfield, NJ and attends MTA, and the international contingent consists of Meir Blanshay from Motreal, Quebec who is a student at Hebrew Academy.
Gilad’s Chaburas will focus on sugyot in Masechet Sukka, with an emphasis being placed on feeling the fire one should feel when studying Gemara. Gilad hopes his NCSYers leave his Chabura with an appreciation for the important role learning plays in everyday Jewish life.
