Dear Alumni and Friends,
As we usher in a new year, we continue to daven and learn for the safety of Eretz Yisrael and Klal Yisrael.
At the Yeshiva, our students are back in full swing, and the Torah learning is filled with fresh energy in our Beis Midrash and classrooms. May the Torah and Tefillah be a zechus at this time of tzarah.
Looking ahead, after Sukkos we are thrilled to kick off our HTC102 campaign with our newly inaugurated "Under the Lights," alumni flag football competition on October 26th. Stay tuned for another incredible alumni event coming up with L'chaim OG and Mendy Worch!
On behalf of everyone at HTC, we wish you and your family a Shana Tova and Kesiva v'Chasima Tova!
All the best,
Rabbi Shmuel L. Schuman CEO, HTC | | If you walk into HTC on any given morning you will find nearly 75 students from our Kollel, Beis Midrash & College and Fasman Yeshiva High School learning together in a packed Beis Midrash.

Best part of the Yeshiva: Flag Football! | | | Divrei Torah from Rebbeim & Alumni | | A Nation of Tzaddikim By Rabbi Yosef Polstein
Offering a brachah to another Jew lies at the essence of our being. Included in the first message that Hashem told Avraham Avinu was "וַאֲבָרַכֶיךָ מְבָרֲכֶיךָ" – I will bless those who bless you." Chazal (Chullin 49a) say that this applies even whenever a Jew blesses another Jew. So every time we extend a brachah to another Jew, we get it back directly from Hashem as well.... | | | The Message of Mussar By Rabbi Bernard Neuman
In the 1930s, when Nazi Germany came to power, many of the greatest Torah scholars fled Europe. Some became Rebbeim at our Beis HaMidrash LaTorah and were the scholars who made the Yeshiva the springboard of Torah throughout the Western Hemisphere and Israel. Another year has passed and Rosh HaShanah is once again upon us. It is a time of self-reflection for all, and most certainly, for an older person. My thoughts often go back to my Yeshiva days, to my Rebbe... | | | Promote Your Business on The Yeshiva Network! | | Add your business to our business directory! Who doesn't love free advertising?
