On Wednesday, November 28, MTA kicked off the inaugural meeting of the Y Club. A new weekly program for 10-12 grades, the Y Club features a discussion with an MTA rebbe, who answers a burning question talmidim are anxious to learn more about. The first meeting’s topic, “Y do we learn gemara?,” was presented by junior rebbe Rabbi Mayer Schiller to a standing room only crowd of talmidim and rebbeim. Upcoming topics include, “Y is this happening to me?,” “Y is davening so long?” and “Y are there so many restrictions in male/female relationships?” “It’s normal for high school boys to have questions like these,” said Associate Principal Rabbi Shimon Schenker. “The goal of the Y Club is for our talmidim to get the answers they deserve from our rebbeim in a safe environment.”
