MTA is proud to announce that seniors Mordechai Fox, of Teaneck, Michael Wein, of Flushing, and Emmett Weisz, of Teaneck, have been named Semi-Finalists in the 2022 National Merit Scholarship Program. All 16,000 semi-finalists will have the opportunity to continue the competition for the chance to win one of 7,500 National Merit Scholarships, worth nearly $30 million, which will be offered in the spring. “We are extremely proud of Mordechai, Michael, and Emmett and this outstanding achievement, which is a true testament to their hard work over the past four years,” said Head of School Rabbi Joshua Kahn. “In addition to their academic accomplishments, these three talmidim are also student leaders who are involved in our additional Torah learning opportunities outside the classroom as well as a variety of extracurriculars. We look forward to celebrating their continued success.”
