Yeshivas Zichron Mayir 54th Dinner Film

[Music] everybody always wants to know what is Yesa Z what is the uniqueness of the Yeshiva I find what we try to install in the boys into the is and when a boy feels happy about himself he feels fulfilled he feels he's growing in his learning he has relationship at a rebi he feels connected he feels his need in society that brings him to his next level of growth it's going to be in Tyra it's going to be in Ash and the whole person just [Music] changes [Music] our focus is not necessarily like other yeshivas where the focus is to make someone into a lden or someone that's able to become a big Masid it's really about making people wholesome make a person Manch is's going to be able to be a b is a beautiful family that's the goal that we strive for each and every [Music] B we are built on a very rich m a very rich Heritage which began hundreds of years ago in slodka with of Isaac Sher our founder Rabbi Davis he was an American boy he traveled to Europe he gave up the luxuries of America to travel to Europe he spent quite a while there immersed and soaking up the ideas and attitudes of the the method of learning to the the the the um attitude towards and towards he took that back with him to America when he started this he built this yiva based on those roots and based on those foundations and therefore every anything that's given over in this Isa is coming directly through that chain Rabbi Davis gave it over to all of his tan and this primary talet who took over the Shiva after him was RAB Ro not a day would go by the RAB rotham wouldn't mention Rabbi Davis's name my rebi did this the rabbi did like this the rabbi did like that in they did this in they did that the Yeshiva was and still is a very special blend of Rabbi Davis's American upbringing and European training it has emerged throughout the the decades as a Vital Center of T learning attracting students from all over the world it has transformed hundreds of young men turning them into leaders capable of transforming the lives of others it is this ability to transform that defines the mission of Yesa mayor was a great man the Davis Davis Davis you American boys Goods had had a scholarship to graduate school physics and Ma I was supposed to go to graduate school I had a good baseball scholarship too and we all he made us drop our careers no money there's no money it's like the director no formalities no stationary we just learned we're right to the heart of everything no building no anything right to the heart and that's what everything emanates out of him teaching us whether it's a shack whether it's in a house whether it's his house whe the's houses it doesn't matter everything is a ofing over we didn't know about man I was in BO somebody's taking off from I used to go home on sometimes every two or three months what are he going home for I used to walk back six miles on Friday night to hear the shm from east flish to Dragon Beach he was La in there for who hardly knew how to learn 20 years old and from those that meet them pay such great great [Music] [Applause] [Music] come what I like best in missa is the warm atmosphere the tightened student body and the warmth that is projected by the rean what makes the school unique is definitely the r RA are the best there's nothing to compare with them I have a connection with the Rab in that I'm in touch with them on an ongoing basis and I go up there for shabam every so often and U it's amazing to it's amazing to see them their smiles and their love each B has individual catcher with a rebi and you know if you have anything you can speak over you always speak to rebi at any time even when you leave Yeshiva we about alumni they speak to us and tell us that they always want to come back to Yeshiva we have to move on they always tell us take it in take whatever your re gives you because you're not going to be here forever and we see the uniqueness of every rebi and the Casual is very strong and therefore we really love the reab and Mountainville this is not just the Yeshiva but also a tightened t Community comprised of rabam and their families as well as a k situated closely on the same grounds it is a home away from home for the students where kindness and dedication to ter Prevail nurturing a love of learning the atmosphere in Yesa is it's awesome it's you know guys you know you could you could chat and talk to them it's um you play basketball you know it's fun the overall feeling between the old and Shiva it's it's one big family in in a lot of isas that are clicks there's a group of friends and they talk to each other and no one else talks to them and this Isa everyone's family every bucker feels a CER with each other most Yas you say that rebi has a cater but in M Dela every Bak has a cater with each other Bak every Bak feels connected if one Bak is not feeling well every Bak feels that thing so every bucker in mountaindale feels together as one the community speci atmosphere of warm kindness and dedication to the strengthening of Tyra is its crowning Glory the rich Heritage that RAB Davis satal launch is transmitted with a low talet to rebi ratio we have uh a smaller classes you know so the Reb's able to spend more time individually with each student I myself throughout the day try to spend at least you know 15 20 minutes privately but I focus in the 11th grade specifically that I should be able to recognize the structure of a piece of gamar they've taught me really how to learn a gamar how to take apart a DA of gamar learning the question the answer the proofs and that's that's really how mountaindale has helped me and I'll have that for Life BL the way the rim interact with the B it's that trust that we believe in you we we feel that you have the potential that we brought out and the bucker senses that sincerity that the Reby really cares for each and every talent and that's what gives him the strength to become into a great he taught me how to learn a piece of gamar how to break up with a Kasha ter and to really teach me what I means to break up a pie of gamar and I feel that's a very fundamental skill that's going to be able to take me for the rest of my life the Shuma designed in a way that reaches everyone as a whole but also focuses on the individual the re is able to focus first to give over to the entire group but then he's able to focus on every single individual and make sure that they have the content and can take it with in other Yas when you're in a Shar like you can't make a pee like or scared like you're not always sure should I ask the question should I not ask the question but or here in in yiva mountaindale the Reby says something and if I don't understand it I just could openly I could say re I don't understand it could Reby say it over again what I like about this R they're open whatever you need whatever you want to talk about they're always the always be welcome there are many opportunities for the students to develop their Persona from the Bas medish where they are trained to develop the seel to the many physical Outlets that Jiva encourages such as a state-of-the-art gym well equ equipped Recreation room and basketball games with other Yas in the surrounding area there's team there's pool table there's air hockey there's the workout gy there exercise there's there's so much we have a big far we can just walk [Applause] around there's basketball [Applause] gym [Music] the BAM get together ni bonfires crumes Buck will get together one night we're making a Crum bonfire whatever it is all the buff are going to be there mountain taale is [Music] special incentive learning programs motivate students to learn on their own free time nurturing a love of learning that enhances the stimulating atmosphere in the yiva especially when when it culminates into the V program is an incredible way of connecting the new generation of B with the age-old advice of kazal that kazara is imperative in the acquisition and the enjoyment and retention of Ty rber sh used to tell me that when you see a boy sitting on his own and going over to Gar with tus one more time so then you know that he's out of the woods then you know that he made it and and this program is is getting the boys to you know to master the gamar and to sit down again and and review it on their own I think the V program is amazing because normally when you come to share your your challenge with t with you have to learn but with the V program it's up to you you could do what you could learn if if you want to learn it you could learn however much you want and it's a very it's it boosts your self-confidence a lot cuz there are Bame they do it over and over with you you're able to accomplish so much more than you used to accomplish even though it is work it does require work and dedication however they have seen through taking it seriously that the that the the the ability to acquire and to know a is in their grasp and even B that said that they could never do it they've done it when it came to learning a lot of times we feel it's impossible and now we're this effort to make it to the end and now we see we can do it we looking forward to the next and connect with and anyone who hasn't started yet do it [Music] now I've watched over the years how boys walk into the Yeshiva without Direction without a relationship sh to a rebi without knowing who they are what they could offer to society and slowly over the year you watch the boys grow they feel connected they see the smiles on their face they see the relationship with the rebi they see the hug from the rebi to theed it's natural and that's the beauty of the [Music] aiva everyone knows once in mountaindale always in mountaindale and it'll always be a home that I know that I know I could go back [Music] to there was a lot of things that the rashash Shiva and the rean taught me and I felt it helped me tremendous I came to Yeshiva with hope and my parents now have gratitude towards yiva [Music] a
