Program Reflections
I’ve always been proud of being Jewish, but once I got to the Zal Hakatan, I truly knew what it meant to be Jewish. I came to the Zaal Hakatan without any Jewish education, and came out fluent in Hebrew, confident in my Jewish education, and unashamedly proud of who I am as a Jew.
David Tahoor, LAAside from the skills I had the chance to practice (such as social and leadership skills), the main thing I gained from the yeshiva is a new perspective on life. To be able to look around you and at yourself and feel how full it all is of purpose and divine providence.
