Yonah Tarzik could not have asked for a better start to his second summer as a madrich and third summer overall on NCSY Kollel. Yonah has had the privilege of calling Bergenfield, NJ, home for the last 18 years. He attended Heichal HaTorah, Sha’alvim, and just completed his first year at YU.
As soon as Yonah’s chaburah disembarked from the plane (at least most of them), they hit the ground running (all of them). The enthusiasm and excitement have been incredible from the start and only keep getting better by the day. The chaburah is made up of some of TABC’s finest. To start off, there’s Jack Nordlicht (New Rochelle), whose hasmada and drive for greatness greatly benefit the chaburah. Next is Daniel Eckman (Teaneck), who always brings tremendous positive energy and simchas hachaim, making the chaburahs fun and exciting. Then we have Akiva Horn (also from Teaneck). When not slipping at Max Cakes or trying to catch a lizard, Akiva is always looking out for others and making insightful comments in chaburahs. Next, we have the duo from Memphis. First up is Jack Kampf, whose commitment and dedication to Yiddishkeit inspire everyone. Then there’s Rafi Davidowicz, who you can usually find at the ping pong table or asking bomb kashyas during chaburahs. To round out the squad, we have the homegrown NCSY Kollel legend Chaim Turetsky. His sensitivity and thoughtfulness make him a pleasure to be around. Each member brings their own unique personality and flavor, creating an amazing chaburah dynamic.
The chaburah is learning through the sugyas of the שש זכירות. They are exploring why each one is part of the שש זכירות and how to incorporate those lessons into their lives. They’re learning about the importance of Talmud Torah, the holiness of Shabbos, how to protect oneself from lashon hara, and so much more!
The summer has gotten off to an unbelievable start, and it’s certain to only get better from here!
