(Courtesy of PTI) The Young Professionals Program of Passaic Torah Institute (Yeshiva Ner Boruch-PTI) will make a dramatic expansion in the New Year. On September 26 at 7:30 p.m. 200 young professional men and career mentors in many fields will be matched in a giant learning event for an inspiring start to a new year and a new future.
“The whole community and many organizations and businesses have come together to give the next generation a jump start on their careers and spiritual growth,” said Rabbi Baruch Bodenheim, Associate Rosh Yeshiva of PTI, “just in time for Elul.”
Attendees will feast upon a free gala dinner, live music, dancing, and a keynote speaker to be announced shortly. Young professionals can kickstart their careers and delve into serious Jewish learning in one-on-one chavrusas or small groups with their mentors.
The Jewish Link, The Network and The Local Pages are the media sponsors of the event, and are joined by co-sponsors Guaranteed Rate, Barry Stein Accounting, Brownstone Abstract Title Insurance, Perlow Law, Aish Hatorah, Olami-Mentorships, Project Inspire, Rutgers Meor, Shapell’s Yeshiva/Midreshet Rachel V’Chaya, NCSY, Chazaq, Mesorah Young Professional Singles, with more sponsors signing up every day.
“PTI is a special place and I am sure, with Hashem’s help, that the expanded Young Professionals program will be a smashing success,” remarked Jewish Link Publisher Moshe Kinderlehrer.
The incomparable “Carved by Wolf” caterers will feature a widely varied buffet, grilling, and waiter service. The evening will be uplifted with dancing to the ecstatic music of R’ Moshe Auslander & Chacham Isaac Jamal. The audience will be spellbound and entertained by a keynote speaker to be revealed shortly.
The gala will raise funds to double the number of Young Professionals in the program. It will expand the schedule to a full week from its current three-day schedule on Sunday mornings, and Monday and Thursday evenings. Finally, the funds will make it possible to hire another full time rabbi, in addition to PTI’s current 20 faculty and kollel fellows who teach and learn one on one.
“It’s going to be so inspiring, just awesome,” according to Ben Rand, coordinator of the Young Professionals Program. “Our first year has grown so fast in the wake of Oct. 7, so many people came here looking for a deeper understanding of their Judaism.”
PTI has five levels of classes for men and women, from the complete beginner with no background to the most advanced kollel scholar, seven days and evenings a week.
The event will take place at PTI, 441 Passaic Avenue, Passaic. For info and to register contact 201-280-8145, [email protected], ptishulcloud.com, pti.shulcloud.com
