NCSY Alumni Director - Rabbi Dave Felsenthal
"What It Means To Be A Family" 
People are always knocking Jewish organizations because the only time they get their act together is in times of tragedy and danger. But as I reflect on the Bar Mitzva weekend of my son Tzvi this past Shabbos, I realize that it is not only a false accusation; but, especially so in the greater NCSY family! Read The Rest
Have an Awesome Shabbat,
Rabbi Dave Felsenthal
