From the desk of NCSY Alumni Director - Rabbi Dave Felsenthal
New Beginnings. Its a new year for the world and its a new beginning for NCSY alumni. Our third year marks the first where we finally start following up with our recent High school grads. Welcome to all of you and I hope you make the most of all the OU wants to offer you as alumni! Over 160 12th grade grads who were alumni of OU programs in high school have now volunteered to be OU Ambassadors on campus. This new project has tremendous potential and I’m sure we’ll see this new group accomplish great things in the year to come. Any college age alumni who want to become our Ambassadors on campus and earn great prizes while doing so please email Ambassador Coordinator Josh Einstein
Any alumnus who wants to volunteer to help us in follow-up please let me know as we need lots of help! help follow-up
Have a Gmar Chatima Tova,
Rabbi Dave Felsenthal

The problem is, I have done it every year for many years, and have never kept the commitment for more than a couple of months, tops. Is it better to make a resolution that gets broken, or perhaps better not to commit at all? Read The Answer
