Last week MTA talmidim joined high schoolers from around the world for Yeshiva University’s annual Model United Nations conference. As Yeshiva University’s High School for Boys, MTA is fortunate to participate in all that YU has to offer high school students. Model United Nations, known as YUNMUN, provides an opportunity for MTA talmidim to exercise their diplomatic skills and develop competencies that will aid them in their future studies and beyond, while also meeting new people and forging friendships with peers from around the world. MTA has a history of successful trips to the conference and this year was no exception as senior Aaron Sisser (‘23) won best delegate in his committee. Other team members also received accolades while representing Iran, perhaps the most difficult assignment in this gamified version geopolitics. At the end of the event, the team members looked back on their experience and gained a newfound appreciation for the role of the U.N.
