Middle school students were honored on Chol HaMoed with the presence of Rav Hershel Schachter, rosh yeshiva at Yeshiva University and one of the preeminent rabbanim in the United States whose advice and halachic guidance is sought after by rabbis around the globe. Students greeted Rav Schachter with incredible enthusiasm through lively dancing and singing and were then treated to words of inspiration that Rav Schachter offered as they sat with rapt attention. Students witnessed Rav Schachter’s complete mastery of all areas of Torah when he responded to questions that were solicited from students on the spot and were given the special opportunity to each greet Rav Schachter at the conclusion of the program. Interacting with this special gadol baTorah, and the kavod haTorah displayed, will be sure to leave a lasting impact on the students.
