Yeshiva Gedola & Mesivta of Carteret - 2021 Virtual Dinner

[Music] [Applause] [Music] okay thank you all for joining us on this special evening an evening of celebration an evening of marking an evening of marking a major milestone just 16 years ago i remember hearing the excitement and the voices of now the shiva and rebecca brown as they described us their plans to start a yeshiva in this unheard of place together with their friends rabbi rabbi rabbits and mayor as they in this unheard of place called carteret they showed us pictures of an older building a jewish community center building with bingo games still set up but at the same time it was just an embarkment it was just the starting point it was just the beginning of this incredible yeshiva less than two years later i joined i had this close of joining the yeshiva as a talmud making some incredible friends and becoming a talmud of our yeshiva it's on the shoulders of those founding talmidim 15 years ago that we began that yeshiva took off they they instilled some incredible incredible values in the yeshiva set the ways it's on the shoulders of those those tell me them that subsequently followed as the yeshiva continued to grow and as through the dedication of the russia yeshiva and their families that the yeshiva was able to set itself on a stable grounds in carteret and the warmth of the masjid and the that set the tone for what became an incredibly nurturing yeshiva it brings us to this point where we could say kimono vigilante 15 years of dedication of arabian to to all of our tamidim 15 years of parents entrusting the yeshiva with the most most important part of their son's lives their education 15 years of talmidim committing themselves to learn and grow in a city away from city distractions in a place where they're able to form a nurturing relationship with rabbayim that go well beyond the yeshiva well beyond their time in yeshiva i witnessed it as a talmud i witnessed it as an alumnus where i was able to keep up karusa shafts with the rabbi and yeshiva after i left the yeshiva and now over the past six years i got to witness it and i get to continue to witness it from within the combination of tamidim and rabbayim connecting it isn't just a connection of their time in yeshiva it's a lifelong connection that all of us all of us appreciate and we hope that all our talmudim now will continue to form the that kind of relationship with each of their obeying the incredible rabbi that we have in the yeshiva i'd like to take a moment to thank our dinner chairman rip mayer our alumnus chairman etan rabeitan reiner fellow alumnus friend for aiding in the success in this beautiful event without further ado i'd like to present to you the shiva della of carteret 15 years in the making starting starting as as just a bismadrich adding a massifta and now coming full circle as the first class gets to graduate and now join the best mattress program thank you in 2005 rabbi mayer came over to me and presented this idea that we should start a yeshiva a basement for first second year basement i went to richmond kaminsky to discuss the idea with him and he thought it was a good idea and we decided to start they had something in mind and what type of learning they wanted to accomplish well-rounded people who are versed in not only the depth of the torah that the breadth of tyrant should become something that should become part of them it was a small yeshiva that was the goal not to be too big so everyone can get their own personal relationship with rasha shiva we all got to have our own russian we're all growing together staggering together the bahrain that started the base madrid every single one of them grew tremendously taking the responsibility to make something happen was a life changer it made the stamp of the ruach of the yeshiva the type of bakr that's part of the yeshiva a bachelor whose baal meadows taiwas learns baha's mother and has she's to grow in all areas four years ago the yeshiva embarked on a new undertaking with the start of the massifta they would be able to inculcate all the ideals from a young age this way they'd be able to come from 9th to a 10th to 11th until they came to older teens they'd have the impact of all their tutelage throughout the years we try very much to inspire the bahrain and also develop a cache with rabbeam direct yeshiva have a unique warmth with every talmud they take a personal interest and their success in their well-being in every way it's not even that they're going out of their way to be warm it's just it's naturally the way they interact with everybody you want to understand they want to talk to you to work with your strengths and your weaknesses so you could be the best you the vision of the yeshiva was to speak to tell me them educate them bring out their personalities who they are not to fit into a mold necessarily but to just be who they are and serve hashem in that way in that form robert roth has this relationship with tamidem as they grow from great to great taking each bakar as a personal individual and making them into a bantera of their own while of course learning torah is the primary focus they recognize the importance for the boys to have a full secular general studies education and they give full backing to all the subject matter and all the things that we teach every boy in carteret is proud and is happy and is growing and is accomplishing in their days in yeshiva now that the first graduating class is about to enter into the basement we're coming full circle and it's a simcha to see the seeds that were planted and the plants that were developed by the first bachmann yeshiva every bucker that was in left his mark he left his mark on under obeying at this mark on the yeshiva they contributed a certain standard of learning a certain standard of availability a certain standard of acharyas it's not just that they were in a place and they learned in that place but everybody today is affected by what they did when alumni come back and tbc are flourishing they should be proud they had a part in this and that's forever it's everlasting yeshiva continues to grow through their khizuk that continues to come in through through their support their visits their connection to yeshiva but only hope and davin that just as we've had tremendously after the shimada over the past 15 years through the basement through the developing of the mesifta so too we should be zaika to continue to watch and see the paris of being made between the bachelor that will come out of the mesefta and this management is hashem in the future [Music] it's an honor and pleasure to introduce our guest speaker arov whose relationship with the yeshiva is so precious it's humbling and an honor and a pleasure to introduce mordechai stern browner of mayor honored guests guests of honor kola kola i'd like to focus for a few minutes le cover yeshiva on an enigmatic parasha that we find and this week cedra the parish of the me mariva the ebishda tells maishava aaron yan mantembi the kadhishani because of the incident with the cellar with the main ariba you will not have the opportunity to bring klaus israel and heritage israel and the reshare name each and every one of the reshainam has a different peerish in what the hate of the main riva was all about as we all know rashi says that the issue was that maisha rabeno hit the seller instead of speaking to the seller the mitzvah was with hiberta malasala and instead maishrabenu hit the seller that barbanel brings 10 shottim there are so many different shot him some reshainam explained that the issue was that myshrabenu was class brings that he referred to claudius as my rim so many different shots i'd like to focus yeshiva and the coveted yeshiva on one particular aspect perhaps in this rashi that can give us a deeper understanding of the haitmeriva what this was all about maisha rabbenu was supposed to speak to the cella and miraculously bring forth its water rashi says had you spoken to the seller and claudius would have said marcella zoo this seller that doesn't speak and it doesn't hear and yet it's mikhail diburi shall mock him it fulfills the ratson of hashem to give forth water we also alakazam of akama we too should listen to be making the bureau shall mukhin and inquiring minds want to know why is there less of a kid of hashem less of a calvary when the seller when the unthinking unfeeling completely non-sentient stone responds instead to being hit it's just as miraculous what is the greater kid that would have been brought about through speaking to the stone that the rabbani shalom says there was no kidding and therefore that was the hate rabbi isaac however in the safer our torah brings some swarm of diversion something incredible in zaira kadashi it says that administration has spoken to the seller and brought forth the water in such a fashion there never would have been rabbis the cover explains that the water that flowed from the stone represents the torah and had the water been brought forth through a deeper through speech the torah would have never been forgotten from claudius how are we to understand that there's a difference if the torah is now brought out through hakka through maishra banu's hitting of the stone torah flows only through yesurim there's difficulty there's sheikha it would have been different had mushroom only spoken to the stone how are we to understand this what's the significance what does it mean it's a fascinating thing in parishes bashar al-ahmar was told to hit the stone the seller forty years later maishra bainu is told only speak to the seller why was hitting the seller good enough at the beginning of their sojourn in the midbar and now 40 years later it necessitates deborah lascella the yell code says as follows when a child is young his rav has to hit him has to coerce him has to impose upon him the lessons the hadraka the pathway when he becomes more mature at such time that he's nisgadal there's a different type of that's called for kevan higdo big deeper humiliate when i take a stick and i impose my will on an object on a person that which he carries out is my rutsen it's my instruction i've merely imposed it upon her upon him but i am the maasa he's isa al-daity that's a lower level of claustral at the beginning in the mid bar before mountain toro before they experienced 40 years of living surrounding the exalted atmosphere the rarified atmosphere of man of beir of ananya covered of myshrabenu speaking with them then living with ammunition surrounded by the ubanistance the way the torah the mayan maya melatara had to flow had to be implanted within them was through hakka the stone which represents sometimes our stony hearts to bring out the torah sometimes takes an imposition that's a level of when someone's recalcitrant when someone's young you have to bring him there al-dasta ma'asah but there's a higher level of now that claw israel had passed through the experience of 40 years in the mid bar they now the proper way to bring out the torah was through speech when i speak to somebody when i speak to a talmud to a child and i explain to him i give him guidance i tell her what's right i encourage them and arouse within the talmud the awareness and the recognition and the desire to grow and stag to come closer to the rabbinicial islam it's not an imposition on the contrary the speaker is the catalyst the child then goes and grows and learns on their own that claw israel required after 40 years in the midbar to go entirety's trial was with the bartome don't impose the torah on them speak to them in such a way that the mayan the torah will flow from their hearts to bring out how in the very essence the depths of who claudius role really was what flows from their hearts and their minds what guides their pathways in life the talent and if maisha albanu would have succeeded in bringing out this mind which is representative of the say the satire out of the cella which represents the heart of claudius in such a way through deepwar he would have succeeded in bringing out how the torah flows unimpeded naturally from within the heart of klaustra and that's a different level of kid an individual could serve hashem through understanding that he has no choice there can be no choice because of external factors or no choice because that's the reality of life the higher level of when a talmud achieves godless is when the rebbe brings out within him the feeling the recognition is is the gift of our torah of a tyra dick 11 of limu that tyra of a derek tyra if a rebbe can inspire a generation of talmidha metalmed the parent can inspire this in a child that's the greatest that's the greatest kid of shashank that was what was supposed to have been accomplished through dibarilla to represent to demonstrate that even isella understands that the deborah shall mock him around within it an internal desire to discover the dvar hashem in one's own heart by saying i believe that that is what the shiva day love carter red is all about especially as now they're embarking after fifteen years on reestablishing the basamedrash the yeshiva gaddail of cardaret under the leadership of two unique and special gedaile tyra brown is a yeshiva which is a fortress of this type of of the simcha of learning because it's our life and it's our lifeblood and it's our heart's desire of showing the talmidhim whether it's the talmidim in the mesifta whether it's kale young light whether it's talmudim in base madrish how the true rhythm of their own heartbeats beats in consonance with their towering stature in torah which comes from how it's the tempo and the heartbeat of their own lives their own rats in pnimi serves as a guidepost and a lighthouse of rochnias the gar for all of their talmidhim and the hinukh of yeshiva with warmth we are having with rutsen brings out the flowing wellsprings of pinemias of kiem khayeno of growth in torah in to know an unrelenting passion to know because that's what life is all about to understand with clarity to grow in schteigen learning in yura shamayim in this is a yeshiva which helps each talmud uncover the wellspring of this hashem and avisa torah that's deep in one's own shaman our bracha that the ubanishal islam benches the yeshiva with further success she marches with talmidim and the rasha yeshiva should be able that translates in english that everybody should help support the yeshiva in such a way to enable them not to have an oil and be able to focus solely on tyra and to give their special urine there's a special oscar this evening for a year who really typified dr nachman it's difficult to speak about without getting emotional a person shy of isle shy of nothing garus bairai said to dear his clarity and his abba satyara his meet this true meows tyra was who he was and who he was was tyra when you walked into his optometry office and you saw him sitting in a folding chair leaning over a gemara you knew what it means a yid whose heart beats with a taisvis we all have what to learn from the russia yeshiva from dr shore he is we should all join together in helping support this fortress of tyra to be able to encourage generations of people who will learn with the sense of kiheim with simcha at biscay on me a person has to love his friend like himself and everybody is bothered by the problem how could a person love everybody like himself rip shimon says that the shot is everybody has what we'll call it everybody has somebody he views as himself most people they view themselves their children their spouses as an extension of themselves if somebody insults them if somebody does something nice to them they take it personally a bigger person views his extended family as an extension of himself a bigger person than that will view his town and what the torah is telling us is a person has to view claudia's throat as is anaifie after the reach you should love your friend like yourself you should view all of yourself as one extension of yourself and therefore you'll love everybody equally with yourself that's how rip shimon understands to have as our guest of honor at this dinner and rabbi and mrs silver rabbi mr silver our people they moved to pittsburgh our rabonim and the rabbitson in pittsburgh to be mashibia and claudius a tremendous tamil hachem somebody who has an acharya for the tsibur and they view all of claudiuso whatever their british from that we're able to present to rabbi and mrs silver as our guest of honor thank you very much the rebellion from our experience with the first the ninth and the tenth grade rebellion seemed to be able to connect with the strengths of our son and i assume with other bottom as well even the strengths that he may not know that they're able to connect with they're able to tap into and help him develop and to me that is a huge attribute [Music] rabbi silver is a veteran entitlement of lakewood a renowned place like mahabharata and a tremendous tomato the silvers stand for tyra tyra and then to be their eventual i mean to move to pittsburgh and to be a rub of a school in pittsburgh shows that he's not just interested in sack or his own tyra but he's interested in spreading tires to call his own the greatest lessons i've learned from my parents are that you should always be friendly you should always walk around with a smile on your face and be happy every baker i believe needs to be able to connect to a rebbe but there are different types of verbalium and different types of buffering this is a crew of very chosh of a rebellion they can get down to the level of the bakrim they can connect to the bakarim if it's a bokeh who needs that connection or who can gain from that kind of connection then counter it would be a good issue the fact that they're in carteret which is a small town which really has nothing else there it has a lot of power to help the bucharan realize their value within a community because they are the community and they can't get lost they really are needed to build the yeshiva to build the community not only have the silver has entrusted us with their their son akiba maisha this coming year they'll be sending their grandson as well they've sent numerous talmudim from pittsburgh and other places by spreading the name spreading the word about the phenomenal work yeshiva does i'd like to wish the silvers hashem both from akiba and the new enclaves coming here there's hashem and also they should see nachas both from their kihilu and from the yeshiva and they should be continued based hashem growing in their away disasham and being mashed people on all of khalissa i have a lot of admiration for the russian yeshiva and there is the famous kumara elon ilon bamo barakha pera sakamasukem tsukhanoya bamasa magarest all everything that's planted from from the yeshiva of carteret should be as great as the issue of carteret is they should continue and grow in their herbaceous torah and making sure that the foundations of cholesterol are strong our next honoree dr alan goldsmith we met him over 15 years ago when we started the yeshiva we went to his office in the jewish renaissance foundation at that time and we were struck i personally were struck by the type of person he is by his sincerity by his his commitment to be makadeshi i was struck then and over the years we had a relationship back and forth a couple of times we had gone to see him for different things he had told us at that time that any type of medical situation that would occur any type of need that we have he would be there his foundation would be there to help us out and that lasted for 10 10 plus years however a few years ago our relationship it grew to a new level dr goldsmith agreed that i could come once a week and we would learn with him in his office at that time it was by the medical center which he had started and i and then i really got to know him i really got to understand what makes him tick what he stands for his sincerity that i had noticed before it was something that i i don't think i've met a person that is so sincere in what he does he's so committed in what he does someone whose whole goal is and stands for as he told us many many times he understands the need for yeshiva is the importance of yeshivas he accepted upon himself to be a member of our board of directors of the yeshiva and he's been there as a sounding board he's been there helping us out giving us giving us advice ever since and i'm it's an honor for me that our relationship has grown he's a personal friend he's somebody that i look up to when i think of someone that's sincere and i think of someone that's there for the siber i look up to dr goldsmith it's an honor for us sauna for the yeshiva to present dr goldsmith with the amur said a word the pillar of kindness because dr goldsmith he is a pillar of kindness his whole life is dedicated to helping people his whole life is dedicated to helping other people that don't have the privileges that are under that that are people that need help that's what he stands for it's giving him or presenting him or just recognizing with the um with the pillar of kanye's award it really for us it's a great honor it's a great honor that he has to do with our yeshiva it's a great honor personally that i have a relationship with him and truthfully it's a great honor for claudius in general that there's someone like him who stands for what he stands for and he and he should be zoha to many many years with his dear wife to be able to continue what he does and he does so well this yeshiva is very special the values that they have are what the values of torah when i walk in and see the the bucham and the shagging and the the debating and the likenesses that that are going on uh it touches my heart alan goldsmith is very warm very outgoing and very giving he's a gem of a person i don't think i've ever met anyone that sincerely only wants to help people out that's what he wants to do it's his life goal he looks at helping people out helping yeshivas dr goldsmith is an individual who doesn't think about himself every time i speak to him no matter what it is it's always about thinking about others the yeshiva other people what organizations and places he could work with to help to facilitate more hasseth he started this organization jewish renaissance foundation to try to help jews in all different aspects he has jewish medical centers in the area that he started he founded he leads that they're involved with helping hundreds and hundreds of hundreds of people people that just need dental work or they need medical work or they need pharmaceutical things i cherish my relationship to help and to to be there and in return if i need something or any guidance or any help they're there for me during the time that he became associated with me we'd have a lot of discussions on yiddish guide and he started learning hamish he graduated to gemara he finished hamish and he's probably finished quite a few massachusetts and i went into and yanking when you're committed to yiddish guy you committed to your asset it's something that it's an internal thing it's not something that you try trying to show anybody it's something that you are you know he is the pillar of kindness the bachelor of the yeshiva we want them to be the pillar of kindness the pillar of torah navoda the pillar of tefila he's a role model for me he's a role model for everybody if it wasn't for my wife i wouldn't have any credit or any of these mistresses that i really could do so she deserves all the credit the yeshiva is proud to be a part of the legacy of the goldsmith's good deeds and noble causes made to continue to have bracha and strength in all that they do hashem bless you both with long life a wonderful continued wonderful relationship that you have and respect for each other and may hashem and the eternal life reward you for everything you've done for years our next honoree i got to meet five years ago when he came to check out the yeshiva bringing a sunfur for her where they were seeking a warm welcoming environment and a place of growth for their son as he goes through these integral years of learning in a messifta mr and mrs dan and ed naritz have become friends not only of the yeshiva but of all the parents in the yeshiva of the talmidam and the yeshiva they've been lending themselves out to help the yeshiva in every way shape and form and so many so many times we were able to reach out they've hosted open houses for the yeshiva they've offered to help the yeshiva in other ways they've given their time to speak to other parents to arrange for rides for all the different things their pillars of khasen and passaic itself but they're pillars of hesse and carteret as well and it's an honor and pleasure to be able to present them with the appearance of the euro award a well-deserved honor i consider the massifta of carteret a very wholesome happy place to be to learn to stag if you're looking for some place that has the primacy of torah learning and will motivate the boys to learn and yet you also want them to just express their individuality and be happy then that's the reputation that carter [Music] has everything is special about the ritz family you take a look at what they've done over these years the children that they've raised how they've raised them they are tremendous balayamidas humble genuine respectful heirlooch and that's why they had such love with all their children and with all the shidduchim which they made for their children some of the greater lessons that i learned from my parents is that you should always always try yourself always try to do the best that you can do always be ready to help other people with a smile always try and really give it your all and realize that if there's any cryos there that you have to take responsibility for it and do it mr mitch's ritz are from the and aminados of the people who sent their sons the first year before there was a masefta and they committed to sending david to learn here in barcelona david has stayed tremendously he's on his way to becoming he's a gesh makabaka and he gives a ruach and a seriousness to 12th grade and the whole merciful the rebellion are incredibly dedicated to each and every student they deeply care about raising these boys to the highest level they can be not just level and learning but level in emotional and spiritual growth somehow they just developed an environment where he wants to emulate his rebellium he wants to be serious about his learning he wants to be in a place where other people are serious about the learning all the facets of a maturing young man are coming out in what we see while he's been at carteret as we come to the end of the 12th grade and the first graduating class is ready to graduate the ritzes really could look back and say look what we built and really they could take credit along with the other parents of the graduating class building something that we will have a hashball on hundreds and hundreds of tamil invasion i brought that to the sifter of carteret that it continues to grow into that role of being one of significant misifters in the area and become more and more renowned and they just keep accomplishing and moving further and further along the path of their goals that they had from when they started my breast is the riches they should live to be 122 and have nachas with a beautiful family which they reserved to [Music] create that there was a strikey that was making fun of rava he told rava amma to cut me super you jumpy nation your mouths came before your ears you said nasa before nishma and the iguara says robert expanded with says that what rubble was answering that we said in ishmael because it's kadara we were both we knew that the urban islam is not going to give us something that we can't handle and therefore we knew that there benjamin loved us and therefore he's not going to give us a torah that's bad for us that was the entire basis for kleisel saying we have a rebbe in yeshiva where zaika rabbi moteshan that the bakram know that he loves them that he does whatever he could to make them grow he'll put his arm around their shoulder he'll be tough with them whatever it takes to challenge them to make them grow to help them grow to fill the fulfill their potential he loves them and if he loves them they're willing to be macabre from him it's ours that we have rabbi moteshen and our yeshiva as our ninth grade rebbe and that were able to give him the our bastard award by this dinner used to say over that i don't teach toyota i teach bhakra and that's really the vision of what i try to do is that i'm not here just to teach the ball but give them over to share it's really to help the bakr to grow in all areas avoid this hashem my session is the perfect 9th ninth agreement for the issue of carteret we have bachrim it's the first time it's they're away from home it's the first time that they're learning in a way that they understand that they're headed to become a tawa and they meet ragnartesha and they get to know regulation and they see where the talocham is they see what somebody who cares about them as they see what avaida is and they see that this is somebody that they can learn from and grow from his dynamic personality comes out in many ways in the style of giving share and the way that he gives sheer the way that he gives over to the bakram personal level it's a tremendous start to the bakr's stay in mesifto being in review matheson's class the miteshen is like a he's a living super tiger he has like he has the heisei dripping out of thing when he says the sheer it changes the atmosphere you want to be matsuliak and helping someone you have to be able to understand what that person's thinking i try very hard to understand where each book has come from what they're going through and help them where they are remotecen cares about every talmud as if it's his own son he won't take no for an answer he will not let any talmud fall through the cracks when you have a reby who cares about you you feel it it's real and that's our mothership my son loved learning by rabbi matesh and he still goes to ravanatesh and to talk to him he's in 10th grade now which means that there's an ability to develop a kesha there which is something special he's always smiling and it's always a geshmaka atmosphere and you always know that someone that cares about you is your evie the tell me them feels so secure and at ease with rabbit mateshin because he's just there for them they know that they can entrust everything to their rebbe i have a tremendous amount of our current safety spoke for giving the opportunity where i'll be able to sit in crazy-based medicine and to be able to be allowed me to help bahrain and to help these ballroom go on where they eventually would also continue staggering their way and giving over whether it would be to their tamidian world to their own family wherever it may be it's a tremendous accuracy for this opportunity [Music] to many more years in our botsa satira much najas from all your children and tommy [Music] when i joined the yeshiva zabakhar the yeshiva had sort of a two-track program where they had older bakram and younger bakram in the bismadrish i joined as a first year talmud and the older taught me them the older bachram the older khabura were there to influence the younger talmudim over the years many tamida many great guys joined that khaburra but one of my favorites a close friend nahi bonder was one of them nahi has been a friend from day one he walked into the yeshiva everybody instantly became a friend it was he's one of those that has an infectious personality where everybody becomes attached where everybody forms that connection and that includes to the rabbi as well the rabbi him connected with nachi has been a friend of the yeshivas in a way deeper way than just having learned in the yeshiva he joined the yeshiva to help the yeshiva to help to help the yeshiva have a strong serious bismarck program and he joined the yeshiva to be an influence on us younger talmudim that influence continues he said he set the standard high and his influence and friendship with so many alumni continues when the yeshiva when i joined the yeshiva he as executive director he he constantly calls me and asks me how's the yeshiva doing what what could we do for the yeshiva what's the next step of the yeshiva's growth how could i help how could i be a part of it oh she was working on a building campaign a building program of building plans he asked i have experience in that how can i help i have an idea like this we could work on a direction like that for funding he's there as a backbone to help the yeshiva and throughout the years he's continued to give back to the yeshiva continue to give to the yeshiva and to the alumni and for that we can't thank him enough it's an honor and pleasure to present nahi bonder with the alumnus of the year award carter has done a phenomenal job of molding bakarim to philacrias to really be a part of of society the importance of tefila the importance of learning but the importance of being a mensch the importance of treating other people nicely [Music] when you meet nagi you immediately drawn in by his good sky he comes across very sincere and honest he's one of those guys who everybody felt comfortable around everybody became friends with he was always open to being kind to everybody older guys younger guys a super warm personality he'll do anything for anybody on a grandiose level but he expects zero credit for it i've been yeshiva a number of years i was back from north distraught it was a time to consider different options they thought i would be a good candidate for the yeshiva carteret my rebellion had felt very strongly they thought it would be an excellent opportunity to be able to go there to include my learning to gain a catcher with robert browner mayor whether he came with a spirit he wanted to build up a mosaic he wanted to be there to watch the place grow he wanted to put all this cocos in in the basement in the learning as an alumnus having been involved in the alumni association he always had ideas of ways to keep guys connected he always had that look he always had that eye for finding ways to help the yeshiva i definitely have nafs from seeing where the yeshiva's come reflecting back the 10 11 years since i've left the ishiva i now have uh high school approaching race madrish the growth has been amazing yeshiva carteret has the skus to honor nakibander because he's a role model to what it means to be a yeshiva guy even when not in yeshiva he has the same values the same concerns the same passion as a yeshiva guy sitting second seder the third year base mattress and his wife shibazoka that the family that they raise should also have that passion for yiddish kite and their passion to get things done for you his passion for learning his passion for torah navoda definitely have a karsatov to the yeshiva and it gave me a phenomenal opportunity to you know have access to first-rate tamil ham to be able to learn with them to speak with them to have lifelong mentors and advisors also gave me the opportunity to be mashibi
