Dear Alumni and Friends,
Happy Chanukah! As the calendar year comes to a close, we reflect on our incredible learning, growth, and community-building over the past year.
This month, we prepared for Chanukah with meaningful events that brought inspiration to our students and to our community. We were zoche to host Harav Avraham Schorr, shlita, at HTC, who inspired us with his insights on elevating our Chanukah and tefillin. The Sarah Hartman Women's College of Touro hosted an enlightening shiur for women on "The Beauty of Chanukah" by noted Chicago Rav and alumnus, Rabbi Yaakov Robinson.
Looking ahead, we are thrilled for our HTC102 Gala on January 7th, honoring Rabbi Yaakov Sussman and Daniel and Jessie Lefton for their outstanding contributions to our Yeshiva. The ad deadline is TONIGHT! RSVP and place an ad here and see below for more information!
Wishing you and your family a happy Chanukah,
