"Morning of Learning" Draws Large Crowd

On Sunday September 6, The Yeshiva College Alumni Association, in conjunction with the Student Organization of Yeshiva, sponsored a free " Morning of Learning" program in preparation for the High Holidays. The event, which took place in the Main Beit Medrash, began with Shacharis at 8:45AM followed by coffee and cake. Two distinguished Roshai Yeshiva then delivered passionate speeches. Rav Yaakov Neuburger lectured on "Teshuvah Thoughts," and Rav Aharon Kahn spoke on "Reflections on Slichot and Tekiat Shofar."

The event, which was open to all students, was the collective brainchild of SOY President Aton Holzer, and Stu Verstandig (YC '80),President of the Yeshiva College Alumni Association. The program was deemed a success by all involved and was attended by over two hundred students.

Excited with the prospect of planning more events of this nature, Holzer said, "The morning was a smashing success. I look forward to planning more events with the Alumni Association in the very near future."
