JEC HS welcomed speakers each afternoon who engaged the seniors in conversations and educated them in a variety of areas. Rabbi Snow discussed dating and marriage from a halachic and hashkafic standpoint. Rabbi Hess of Young Israel of East Brunswick and parent of students, Dani and Akiva; Rabbi Eliezer Slomnicki, a JEC HS alumnus learning in kollel; and Rabbi Meir Goldberg, director of Meor Rutgers Jewish Experience, shared their day-to-day lives in klei kodesh. Jay Fields, a senior vice president at Merrill Lynch, discussed what it takes to be successful in the world of finance and what a typical day in the industry looks like. Several graduates returned to discuss their experiences in different yeshivot during their Israel gap year. They spent time answering many questions the boys had about their own upcoming year.

The seniors found the seminars to be educational and engaging, and they particularly enjoyed the opportunity to get answers to their own questions.
