Hundreds of alumni come home to Darchei Torah

Posted

Some had graduated the yeshiva over a decade ago while others were away for less than a year.

The alumni assembled at Yeshiva Darchei Torah’s annual reunion represented a cross-section of the yeshiva’s former talmidim, from full-time rabbeim and bachurim to attorneys and finance professionals, reconnecting with their rabbeim and each other in an atmosphere that was infused with nostalgia and friendship.

The event began with a dvar halacha about Pesach from Rav Shlomo Avigdor Altusky, Rosh Yeshiva of Darchei’s Beis Medrash Heichal Dovid. This was followed by a buffet reception prepared by the yeshiva’s chef, Chana Florans. A short program included divrei chizuk from Rav Yaakov Bender, Rosh HaYeshiva; an update on alumni activities from Rabbi Moshe Benoliel, director of alumni affairs; an award presentation to Menashe Malov, an alumnus of the yeshiva who has been helpful over the last decade in numerous ways; and raffle drawings.

The Yeshiva Darchei Torah Alumni Association works around the year to keep the alumni connected with their rabbeim and each other through a panoply of events and initiatives. For more information, email alumni@darchei.org
