David Cohen is returning for his second summer on NCSY Kollel and first summer as a madrich on NCSY Kollel. David is from Woodmere, NY. He went to DRS High School and for the past two years has been learning in Yeshivat Netiv Aryeh. This upcoming year David will be headed back to Netiv Aryeh for a third year of learning in Eretz Yisroel. David has an epic chaburah in which every day they start with learning about gedolim and then head into learning Pirkei Avos with mefarshim.
The guys in David’s chaburah all come from different areas in New York. All the way from Staten Island is Zvi Nagler, who attends Chofetz Chaim of Staten Island, and Yosef Hershowitz who from JEC High School. From the borough of Brooklyn is Eli Halbertam who attends MAY High School, and last but not least, all the way from the 845 (Monsey), is Levi Adler who also attends May High School. This summer the chaburah has covered ten of rabbanim in which David would give a background of the gadol, stories, and pictures. Just a few of the gedolim in which David’s chaburah has covered are Rav Moshe Feinstein, Rav Eliyahu Dessler, Rav Yaakov Kamenetsky, and many more. In the second part of chaburah in which they learn Pirkei Avos they have covered the topic of Talmud Torah, judging Jews favorably, finding good influences, and many more topics. In chaburas, they learn through a back and forth dialogue in which everyone stays involved and engaged.
This chabura has already learned and grown together so much and can’t wait for the rest of the summer!
