Caleb Breda is currently enjoying his second summer on NCSY Kollel. After an incredible high school career at Yeshivat Frisch, he spent two invaluable years at Yeshivat Mevaseret, and is God-willing starting Yeshiva University this coming year! This is Caleb’s first year as a Madrich.
Caleb’s Chabura includes some of the best guys around! While it is an even split between Frisch and Fuchs Mizrachi, it could not be a better combination, B”H! Each guy adds something special and essential to the Chabura – and they have fostered a real GOC!
Leading off is Netanel Rudolph from University Heights, Ohio (Fuchs Mizrachi)! Netanel always has a clever line and/or interesting point up his sleeve – and boy does he make the Chabura think! Batting second: Ari Rosenfeld from Stamford, Connecticut (Frisch)! Although Ari tries to stay under the radar, his occasional insights light up the sugyas and open new doors to the conversation. A silent sniper, Ari is always on his toes and ready to go! In the #3 hole in the lineup is Kasriel Levine from University Heights, Ohio (Fuchs Mizrachi)! The resident Chabadnik in the Chabura, “Kas” is reliable for bringing jokes and simcha every day. His personality and simchas hachaim uplift the chevra everywhere he goes, and kal vachomer the Chabura! At cleanup… the Big Man… Jakey Gecovich from Beachwood, Ohio (Fuchs Mizrachi)! Jakey’s incredible attention to detail keeps everyone in check, and his questions, whether humorous or insightful, add a ton to the Chabura! His presence and care are appreciated and couldn’t be filled by anyone else! Fifth in the lineup is Elie Sasson from Manhattan, NY (Frisch)! Although he may be the youngest in the Chabura, Elie makes up for it with his fun and unique personality. He makes sure to bring the Sfaradi-party aspect each day, and we are happy to have him along! Batting last, but definitely not least, is Mordechai Schwarz from Teaneck, NJ (Frisch)! As the in-towner of the Chabura, Mordechai naturally leads the hock each afternoon. His ability to make connections and recall past sources and events is remarkable, a real aspiration for the rest of the guys!
This summer, Caleb’s Chabura is focusing on sefarim and topics in all aspects of Talmud Torah and Judaism. This includes sugyas in Tanach, Gemara, iyun, halacha, hashkafa, mussar, machshava, and more! The goal of the Chabura is to gain a love for learning all Torah, with an emphasis on finding one’s more specific chelek in Torah! But above all, the Chabura is a growth-oriented chevra focused on helping each other grow to be their best selves, for others, for Hashem, and for themselves!
The summer has been great so far, and God-willing it should only get better from here! Excited :)
