HAFTR, Israel are one

“Ein Torah K’Torat Eretz Yisroel!”

HAFTR Judaic Studies Principal Rabbi Gedaliah Oppen traveled to Israel on a “Keeping the Kesher” mission with his HAFTR students. Last year over 85 percent of HAFTR’s graduating class went on to study for a post-high school year in Israel in over 20 yeshivot and learning programs. Rabbi Oppen is pictured at right shepping nacahs from students who attend Yeshivat Torat Shraga.

At left, Rabbi Reisman of Agudat Yisrael, grandparent of Matthew Mizrahi, visited HAFTR before Thanksgiving, just after the Har Nof massacre, and spoke with students and faculty about having emunah and bitachon despite the trials and tribulations of life and, of course, how much we have to be thankful for.
