Asher Schreier is currently enjoying his sixth summer on NCSY Kollel. He attended DRS and Sha’alvim and is currently at Yeshiva University. This is Asher’s second year as a Madrich.
Asher’s chabura includes some of the best guys around: Yitzi Aidelson from Woodmere (MAY), Adin Goldman from Bala Cynwyd (Mesivta of Philadelphia), Aden Lyons from Boca Raton (Katz), Elisha Marcus from Boca Raton (Katz), and Nachmi Raff from Monsey (Ohr Reuven).
The guys add a lot to the chabura in a variety of different ways. Yitzi keeps us on our toes with a lot of intriguing questions, Adin always has a quip to make about something that he’s heard or seen in the past. Aden livens up the chabura with fun ideas and thought-provoking questions, Elisha keeps us on our toes and constantly keeps pushing us to keep learning, and Nachmi will often add in an idea from the outside that is relevant to the sugya.
This summer, Asher’s chabura will be focusing on Tefillah Topics and other topics from the 4th Perek in Maseches Brachos. They will be learning about a variety of topics including why we daven, if tefillah is a mitzva dioraysa or dirabannan, the ideal time for shacharis, the ideal time for mincha, what the nature of the different tefillos are, and much, much more. The goal of the chabura is to be able to analyze sugyos and see 1 machlokes in a sugya and how it plays out throughout various different situations or nafka Minos that come up. While going through these sugyos and speaking out the nafka Minos, the guys are often the ones hashing out what each side would say and why based on the different shitos in the sugya.
The learning has been incredible and the hope is the relationships developed throughout this summer can be brought beyond the summer and help each other grow in our learning throughout the coming year.
