Linking Northern and Central NJ, Bronx, Manhattan, Westchester and CT

This past Motzei Shabbos, MTA hosted its annual Open House. Welcoming over 700 people from over 10 communities including Teaneck, West Hempstead, Queens, Monsey, Bergneifled, Great Neck, Passaic, Fair Lawn,  Brooklyn, Five Towns, as well as out-of-town communities, the night was an incredible success!

Rabbi Konigsberg, MTA’s principal, introduced the event, and the theme of the night, MTA’s integration with Yeshiva University. Announcing the four new exciting programs that are being launched, and explaining the benefits of each, helped frame the evening. This was followed by a message from YU President Rabbi Dr. Ari Berman. He spoke about the relationship he personally has with MTA, as an alumnus and current parent, and the unique opportunities available there.

Following the opening program, parents and students were divided up to experience a taste of what MTA has to offer. One of the highlights for the parents was a special More Than Anywhere Else info session that highlighted many of the unique aspects of the yeshiva. Parents were informed about so many pieces that make MTA the destination yeshiva that it is. In addition, parents learned about the special ninth grade experience at MTA, learned about the high level of learning that is offered, and were exposed to mini-lessons as well.

Students had a blast, hopping from a session in MTA”s brand new weight room, to an entertaining student panel to mini-hockey in the Den, to learning sessions both in limudei kodesh and general studies. The student night was capped off with a visit to the Max Stern Athletic Center, the YU gym for a line-up competition, then onto the Curricular Fair and elaborate dairy buffet in Weissberg Commons.

The Open House was fantastic, and good vibes were felt all around. MTA looks forward to kicking their admissions season into high-gear!
