Missing Hecht

By Zev Safran

M.T.A. is exceedingly fortunate to have Dean Michael Hecht assume the deanship of its school for the upcoming academic year. With his hands on the reigns, they are sure to boast a school filled with Torah learning and academic success.

M.T.A.'s gain however, is Y.U.'s loss. For Dean Hecht, who balances a dual role of being a phenomenal highschool Rebbi and a proficient dean, retains an unparalleled sensitivity and appreciation for the students. Further, he is committed to Torah-learning and is diligent in his college studies. Dean Hecht has proven that he is a most befitting leader of Yeshiva College, and serves as a powerful paradigm of Torah Umaddah, committed to the ideology of this institution.

Dean Hecht is extremely in tune with the student's challenge of juggling Torah Umaddah, and is an established talmud chacham and erudite world scholar. Therefore, on behalf of the entire student body, it is my fervent hope that Dean Hecht will be reinstated as Yeshiva College Dean following the upcoming academic year. However, should Hecht's leadership continue to be needed at M.T.A., a dean who is of equal caliber in his commitment to Torah and Madda should be installed.
