Dear Alumni and Friends,
We've returned from Rosh Hashana energized and inspired, and our new school year is off to a strong start. It's been a meaningful month at HTC, full of learning, connection, and preparation for the Yamim Noraim.
We were honored to host the Shloshim for Rabbi Berel Wein זצ״ל (HTC '56), a moving tribute to his lasting legacy as a Rav, historian, and proud musmach of our Yeshiva. Fasman Yeshiva High School launched the year with an uplifting overnight trip, fostering achdus and excitement among students and rebbeim. The Beis Midrash and Kollel have been filled with energized learning and self growth in the month of Elul! Meanwhile, the Sarah Hartman Women's College of Touro at HTC engaged the community through a beautiful series of learning programs designed to help women prepare spiritually for the Yamim Noraim.
As we approach Yom Kippur, we wish you and your families a Gmar Chasima Tova and a meaningful, uplifting fast.
Warm regards,

The Talmudic adage: מי יתן לנו תמורתו – who can replace him? – was never more appropriate. The outsized role he occupied in our greater community has been replaced by a gaping hole... | | | | Rabbi Avraham Friedman - Remembering Rabbi Berel Wein zt"l | I was asked to say a few words about Rabbi Berel Wein, a great man and one of the most famous alumni of our Yeshiva. He studied at the Yeshiva from the young age of ten until he was twenty-two, when he received his semichah. | | | | Rabbi Bernard Neuman - Remembering Rabbi Berel Wein zt"l | I am honored to be asked to speak about my long-time friend and fellow student, Berel Wein, ע''ה. Many years have passed and memories fade. But, somehow, we always remained in contact over the years.I met Berel almost eighty years ago, when he started attending HTC in seventh grade... | | | | | | How a Shul Rewrote Its Story: Yosef Kirschner (FYHS '11) | | When Golf Manor Synagogue in Cincinnati needed fresh leadership, they turned to Yosef Kirschner, a young FYHS alumnus with energy, vision, and a startup mindset. At just 25, he became chairman of the Board and helped transform the shul into a thriving hub for over 100 families. "I came in ready to learn and contribute," he reflects. "It's all about making people feel like stakeholders."

By Rabbi Joshua Zisook
In the Gemara (Sotah 35b), Rava asks why David HaMelech was punished with Uzzah's death (2 Shmuel Ch. 6). The Gemara answers that it was because he called matters of Torah "zemiros", as it says in Tehillim (119:54): "זְמִרוֹת הָיוּ לִי חֻקֶיךָ בְּבֵית מְגוּ" – "Your statutes have been my songs in the house of my pilgrimage."רָי | | | | A Unique Shabbos
By Rabbi Dovid Sukenik
The lofty nature of these days between Yom Kippur and Sukkos is well-known. The Midrash on the pasuk "וּלְקַחְתֶּם בַּיוֹם הָרִ" – "and you shall take them on the first day" – tells us that the 15th of Tishrei is not only the first day of Sukkos, but the "first day of the [new] count of sins", indicating that the four days after Yom Kippur are, in a way, "sin-resistant". | | | | | |
