Take a look at this month's spotlighted student and alumnus. Alumnus Name: Shneur Nathan Class: FYHS Class of 2002 Where do you live: Plainview, NY Tell us about your family: I'm married to Stephanie and have three boys - Naftali (16), Shmuel (12), and Yoni (10).  What is your profession: I'm a trial lawyer and co-managing partner at Nathan & Kamionski LLP. We litigate cases around the country from offices in Chicago, Baltimore, Detroit, and Long Island. Some people may be surprised to learn that I train Brazilian Jiu Jitsu but it's similar to the Chess match that happens in court. I'm also the proud Vice President of my shul, Young Israel of Plainview. What is your favorite memory from FYHS/HTC/Kayitz: Rabbi Twerski was Skokie Yeshiva for me. He was exactly what I needed for that time in my life. He is pure, honest, and famously brilliant. He represented authentic Judaism to me as a teen, young adult, and today. On our first day he said to the class, "I'll be your Rebbe if you'll be a Talmid." That challenge changed my life. I'm forever grateful for my time learning from him. A lesson/takeaway from your time at FYHS/HTC/Kayitz: I loved how they allowed you to be yourself and not push you to be something else. As I Look back at the Rabbis at the Yeshiva I realize just how genuine the hanhala was and how lucky I was to benefit from their sincerity and devotion. I have a lot of hakarat hatov to the Yeshiva for everything they did for me.  What advice do you have for current students: Embrace your relationships with peers and rabbeim today and at all times; they carry you through the rest of your life. Student Name: Levi Altschul  Grade: 10th Grade, Class of 2027 Shiur: Rabbi Babad's Shiur Favorite Class: Mr. Genic's Math Class What Career are you Interested in Pursuing: I don't know for sure yet but I'm thinking maybe Engineering Best memory at FYHS so far: For me, it's a very recent memory. Going to Sarachek and having an amazing time. Definitely in the top 1% of my FYHS memories so far. Best part of the Yeshiva: The best part is the vibe. The ruach and achdus is incredible!
