Yoel Horwitz was absolutely ecstatic to embark on his third summer on NCSY Summer Kollel (his second as a madrich). Hailing from Cedarhurst, New York — the greatest of the Five Towns — Yoel has spent the past year in YU, the previous two years in KBY, and the four years before that in DRS (after spending ten years in Yeshiva of South Shore). Yoel has been more than ready to share the valuable lessons and insights he picked up in those institutions with his Chaburah and others on the program!
Yoel’s Chaburah this year is made up of three of the most legendary, renowned 11th grade NCSYers. First, there’s Dov Robret (pronounced Duv Robray) from Montreal, who brings an immense amount of energy to the table. Next, there’s Gavriel Marmom from the Lion’s Den, whose sharp comments keep everyone — especially Yoel — on their toes. Finally, there’s Yitzchok Eizenstat from YGW, who enlightens the rest of the chevra with his philosophical remarks.
Yoel’s Chaburah this summer is mainly focused on learning about different aspects of Shabbos and the Yomim Tovim. However, the Chaburah also discusses many other important Jewish topics such as joining the army, proper middos, and discovering our life’s mission.
This underratedly dynamic Chaburah of four has made incredible progress so far — and they’re energized to finish the summer strong!
