This year was held at Young Israel on March 1st featured guest speaker Rabbi Yehuda Willig.
The youth misaymim are: Davi Friedberg, Aviel Inzlicht, Eitan Lew, Yisrael Chaim Mernick, Isaac Moskovitz, Shmuel Rackovsky,
Mordechai Rosenbaum, & Shmuel Spira.
The fabulous program is coordinated by Dr. Martin and Paulette Katzenstein and Dr. Michael Buckstein.
