Last week, TABC principal Arthur Poleyeff traveled to Israel to take part in a tekes siyum for two TABC graduates who are active soldiers in tzahal. Yitzi Rothschild ’16 and Sammy Landsman ’16 graduated with their fellow soldiers. Landsman was awarded for his tenacity under difficult circumstances.

In addition, Mr. P and 45 TABC graduates studying at yeshivot across Israel, both shana aleph and bet, travelled to the holy city of Chevron to participate, with 30,000 fellow Jews, in Shabbat Chevron. Shabbat Chevron is celebrated annually on parshat Chayei Sarah, when Avraham Avinu purchases Mearat Hamachpela. Meaningful tefillot, delicious meals, comfortable beds and great camaraderie were experienced over Shabbat. TABC is proud of the many opportunities it provides throughout the year for alumni to connect with their teachers and rebbeim and each other.
