Hershel (steve) Forst,
Shaun Zeitlin,
and Rabbi Mendel. Hershel is a CPA just about, Shaun has an accounting
degree, but for now is teaching general studies to 8th grade Yeshiva kids.
(Shaun has an exciting itinerary planned for summer, as usual, he'll be in
Israel for some, and out mid-west etc for the other).
Regards from Alex Vugman. Alex returned to Israel for several months this year due to his father's untimely passing, and is now back (living in Crown Heights, with Israeli childhood friends) while trying to work his way up in the trader business. Ronen Segal and his newlywed wife Chana Raizel live in Crown Heights as well, while he trades for NYLife Securities in Manhattan. |

Everyone's abuzz with Dave Muhlbauer's engagement (and got plenty of calls and e-mails why our website did not have it up right away...) see our alumni engagement page for a picture of the happy folks.

| In the works: As Simchas Torah 5763 or 2002 falls on a weekend, we're looking into booking rooms at a nearby motel for alumni to return for an exciting weekend of celebration. We are still negotiating rates, and will contact everyone when we have more info. Last years' 13 alumni really added to our atmosphere and we look forward to making this a special reunion type event where folks from years past when can get together. Please let us know if you're interested so we can get some general idea of participants. | |||||||||

We attended a book signing of his at the University Bookstore. It's a
