NCSY Alumni Director - Rabbi Dave Felsenthal
This is my favorite time of the year in NCSY. The New Year jitters are behind us and the real NCSY magic is happening. There are 13 Winter Regional Shabbatons, there are two birthright trips, there are a few hundred public school students going on a fun trip/Shabbaton in NY from all over the country, The Ben Zakkai Reception, The New England 45 Year Celebration, the NY Region Chinese Auction and much more. However, my hands down favorite event is the Winter Break NCSY Yarchei Kallah. 200 public school students from all of North America give up their vacation time to study Torah with the best Rabbis, teachers and advisors in the NY area. It is the single most powerful and successful Jewish Education Outreach event in North America and I don’t say that lightly. How Can You See Yarchei Kallah?
Have an Awesome Shabbas and a Brilliant Chanukah,
Rabbi Dave Felsenthal

Ben Zakkai Event
Named for the great Tanah, Rav Yochanan Ben Zakkai, who helped ensure the survival and continuity of the Jewish people after the destruction of the Beis HaMikdash, NCSY's Ben Zakkai Honor Society (BZHS) has paid tribute for more than forty years to esteemed NCSY alumni and community leaders who have excelled in their commitment to Torah and their service to the Jewish people and Orthodox community. On January 6, 2007, members of the Ben Zakkai Honor Society and friends of NCSY are invited to share in a gala celebration as BZHS inducts its newest members, Rina Emerson, Devorah Aroesty-Cohen, Michael Cenker, and Jamie Vichinsky. Event chairs Vivian and Dr. David Luchins, have worked with a planning committee to orchestrate what promises to be a truly elegant evening at the Sheraton Meadowlands Hotel in East Rutherford, New Jersey. This year's BZHS celebration will also pay special honor and tribute to Liz and Martin Nachimson with the Enid and Harold H. Boxer Memorial Award and Chashie and Rabbi Moshe D. Krupka with the Ezra Ben Tzion Lightman Memorial Award. For more details and to RSVP, kindly call Malka Laks at 212-613-8144.
