Ariel Strick is a legendary figure hailing from Chicago and a proud alumnus of Fasman Yeshiva High School. After attending Yeshivat Sha’alvim for two years, he completed his first year at Yeshiva University. This is Ariel’s third summer on NCSY Kollel and his second as a madrich.
Some chaburahs are good, others are great, but Strick’s chaburah is something the world has never seen. For your starting lineup… (play ’90s Bulls starting lineup music on your phone for dramatic effect!) At point guard, Avi “Ben Yehuda” Ambinder from Baltimore, Maryland, out of T.A. High School. At shooting guard, Charlie “Haircut” Turner from Baltimore, Maryland, out of T.A. High School. At small forward, Elyon “BMX” Guttenburg from Miami Beach, Florida, out of Mesivta of South Florida. At power forward, Kfir “The Foodie” Kelemer from Baltimore, Maryland, out of T.A. High School. And at center, Yitzy “Jimi Hendrix” Wiener from Baltimore, Maryland, out of Yeshivat Mikor Hachaim.
This all-time chaburah has been delving into some of the most fascinating topics Judaism has to offer, including Techiyas Hameisim, Gilgulim, Mashiach, dinosaurs, the creation of the world, and much more! The summer has been incredible thus far, and each day brings new adventures for this extraordinary group of guys.
