Baruch Hash-m, our growth is not only in the physical realm, but in the spiritual as well. We have increased the depth and breadth of our programming for both the men and the very worthy women of our community. What is the secret of our success? Deep down in every Jewish soul is a yearning for the truth. Once the soul is exposed to Torah, it seeks to delve deeper. At Yeshiva Ner Boruch (PTI) and Ateres Bracha (NEVE-PTI), we have taken up the initial challenge to ignite that spark, the Ohr Torah that is also symbolic of the Yontif of Chanukah, which we will soon celebrate. The message of Chanukah is clear. The Greeks did not want to harm our physical bodies; they wanted to destroy our spiritual fiber. The ensuing war was over our refusal to forget about Hash-m in our everyday lives. The Jews fought to maintain their relationship with Hash-m. We continue to win this war by coming to Yeshiva to learn and by bringing these lessons into the workplace and our communities. We aspire to create an environment at Yeshiva Ner Boruch (PTI) where our Talmidim can flourish under the guidance of our energetic Associate Rosh Yeshiva, Rabbi Baruch Bodenheim, and our staff of charismatic Rabbeim. We find a way to reach each every Talmid regardless of his or her level of background. By learning Torah with a fiery passion, our hope is that our Talmidim will strengthen their attachment to Hash-m Yisborach throughout their lives. The Chovos Halevovos says that it is a Mitzvah for a person to earn a livelihood. At Yeshiva Ner Boruch (PTI), we offer the best of both worlds — the ability to support one’s family while having the opportunity to learn Torah in a genuine Yeshiva. We appreciate your continued support of our Yeshiva and thank everyone for attending this evening’s dinner. May we always be involved in Besoros Tovos (good tidings). HOME KESSER TORAH FOUNDER CHAI PLATINUM DIAMOND GOLD FULL H Q E G A Message from Rabbi Baruch Bodenheim Associate Rosh Yeshiva, Yeshiva Ner Boruch (PTI) When I tell people that I teach in a yeshiva, they ask me, “Elementary or High School?”When I tell them that this is a yeshiva for adults they are astonished: is there really a yeshiva like that? Why would an adult need to be in a yeshiva? Why aren’t a man’s early years spent in yeshiva sufficient? I believe that the explanation can be found in the Torah. When Yitzchak Avinu and Rivka Imeinu davened to have a child, the pasuk says, “vayeaser lo,” Hashem answered him, referring to Yitzchak. Rashi points out that Rivka was also davening; so why doesn’t it say that Hashem answered them – Yitzchak and Rivka? Rashi quotes the Gemara in Yevamos 64a: “the prayers of a tzaddik who is the son of a rasha are not comparable to the prayers of a tzaddik who is the son of a tzaddik.” Therefore, although Rivka was a complete tzadekes, because her father was Besuel – a rasha – Hashem only answered Yitzchak’s tefillos, for he was a tzadik and the son of Avraham Avinu. But this answer needs further explanation, in light of the Gemara in Berachos 34a, which says that the level of a Ba’al Teshuva (master of repentance) is greater than the level of a completely righteous person. Based on this concept, Rivka should have been answered before Yitzchak! HaRav Eliyahu Dessler, zt”l, author of Michtav Me’Eliyahu, reconciles these two Gemaros. A master of repentance is on a higher level than a completely righteous person because of the great effort that it took him to reach the same level as that righteous one. In the eyes of Hashem, it is the effort and struggle that really count! On the other hand, when the Gemara says that the prayer of a tzadik who is the son of a tzadik is greater than that of a tzadik the son of a rasha, it is only talking about a tzadik like Yitzchak, who blazed his own trail in service of Hashem. Yitzchak pushed himself to excel on his own, using his father’s greatness as a starting point for his own growth, not as an endpoint. Avraham developed the attribute of kindness; Yitzchak didn’t just follow his father, but instead developed the attribute of fear of Hashem – a new avenue! This actually takes even more effort than repentance, since, by nature, people are happy simply to coast along, serving G-d the same way their parents did, with no individual exertion. This is why Yitzchak’s prayers were answered before Rivka’s. And this is why we need a yeshiva for adults. Hashem tasks us with being in a constant state of growth and continual focus in our service of Him, yisborach. A yeshiva is the vehicle that will help us grow and will carry us forward from level to level. Hashem looks at our effort; He can see us coast or can see us battle. Yeshiva Ner Boruch (PTI) is a place of constant focused effort, where we all strive for spiritual growth. HOME KESSER TORAH FOUNDER CHAI PLATINUM DIAMOND GOLD FULL H Q E G MR. & MRS. DOVID & SHOSHANA BOBKER Harbotzas HaTorah Award Originally from Brooklyn, Mr. Dovid Bobker learned in Yeshivas Torah Vodaas and Merkaz Hatorah under Rabbi Aryeh Rottman in Eretz Yisrael. Upon returning to the New York area, he joined the Bostoner Yeshiva in Brooklyn learning by day and pursuing a degree in Computer Science by night. Later on he completed his MBA at Baruch and successfully established himself in the field of Wealth Management. He currently works for Merrill Lynch based in New York. Locally, Mr. Bobker generously gives his time to Yeshiva Ner Boruch (PTI), whether it is learning there, or attending minyanim daily. The Bobkers are longstanding, active members of Agudas Yisrael Birchas Yaakov of Passaic Park as well. Mrs. Shoshana Bobker came to Brooklyn from Eretz Yisrael at the age of two. In Brooklyn she attended Shalamith School followed by Machon Rivkin seminary in Yerushalayim. Mrs. Bobker earned her Masters degree in Nutrition and has been teaching Nutrition in Kingsborough Community College as well as running a private practice at home. Helping her clients in the Passaic Clifton Community with Nutrition counseling has been very rewarding. She has also taught a college level Nutrition class in the Bais Yaakov of Passaic. Whether it is helping out the local Bikor Cholim or leaving their door open and inviting to guests, Dovid and Shoshana and their family feel privileged to be part of the Passaic Clifton community as well as members in Yeshiva Ner Boruch (PTI) and Ateres Bracha (NEVE-PTI). HOME KESSER TORAH FOUNDER CHAI PLATINUM DIAMOND GOLD FULL H Q E G HOME KESSER TORAH FOUNDER CHAI PLATINUM DIAMOND GOLD FULL H Q E G MR. & MRS. SAMUEL & PAULA GERSHONOWITZ Shem Tov Award It is truly hard to believe, but Sam and Paula have now resided in Passaic, NJ for 30 years. The transition from a small Orthodox community to a thriving center of Torah-Judaism is somewhat similar to how Sam and Paula have evolved. Interestingly enough, Sam and Paula have similar backgrounds. Both are from small towns in Northeast Pennsylvania, only 30 minutes apart – Wilkes-Barre and Hazleton. They grew up in traditional Jewish homes, but had little actual Torah education. Yet, it was from these homes that Sam and Paula began their quest for more. Sam, having very little “zietsfliesh”, did not last long in his Orthodox synagogue’s Talmud Torah, and was “ejected” before his Bar Mitzvah. As a matter of fact, due to no fault of his own, Sam’s Bar Mitzvah celebration was actually cancelled. (haven’t you heard of “Hurricane Agnes-the Great Flood of 1972”?) In preparation for his Bar Mitzvah, Sam was instructed to participate in a new organization, namely NCSY. This was his first exposure to real Yiddishkeit. Sam did grow up in an Orthodox shul and he did recognize that there was Shabbos and Yom Tovim, but there was something lacking. NCSY was the start of his journey, but it was the frum community of Pittsburgh, PA that helped pave his path toward a firmer commitment to a life of Torah-Judaism. Between having the opportunities of being a sought-after guest in many wonderful homes in Pittsburgh, having Rabbi Yisroel Miller, shlita as a mentor, to being an organizer of Chabad on Pitt’s campus, Sam realized that a frum lifestyle was the only way to lead his life from that point forward. Paula had the good fortune to grow up with parents and maternal grandparents who held Judaism in high esteem. Her grandfather, from Allentown, PA, had learned in Etz Chaim Yeshiva in Yerushalayim when Israel was known as Palestine. He weathered HOME KESSER TORAH FOUNDER CHAI PLATINUM DIAMOND GOLD FULL H Q E G MR. & MRS. SAMUEL & PAULA GERSHONOWITZ Shem Tov Award (continued from previous page) WWI in hiding before returning to Pennsylvania. Soon after, he got married and became a shochet, settling in Hazleton. He was a man who learned Torah, even when no one else in the community could understand why any one would spend their time with such “ancient” texts. Paula’s grandmother was a real tzedekes, only wanting to take care of her family (mainly with deliciously cooked food) and clearly holding a Torah lifestyle of the utmost importance. She was most definitely a woman who ruled her home, but in a subtle, quiet manner. These middos seeped into Paula’s home with her father, though not as well educated Jewishly, highly respected his wife’s parents and their commitment to Torah Judaism. Paula’s mother was a woman of chessed. She cared for her parents, her extended family, her neighbors, and strangers all with love, respect and self-sacrifice (and of course, deliciously cooked food). And this is how Paula saw her future, giving to others, which led her to the University of Pittsburgh for a Social Work degree. Since kashrus was integral in her home, Pitt was chosen also for the kosher dining center at the Hillel House. That is where Paula met Sam and accompanied him on his quest for Torah. After marrying, Sam and Paula first lived in Washington Heights, NY. Though it was a most valuable and everlasting experience, growing up in small towns, it was difficult to adjust and moved to Passaic after 1 ½ years. They raised 5 Torah-educated children who give them much nachas in how important their upbringing is to them. They have gained from knowing that their father makes learning Torah a priority. While traveling alone (with all of his friends, as Sam calls it) driving for thousands of miles across the United States to earn a parnassah, Sam still maintains a seder of learning which includes Daf Yomi. Paula has been an active member of the Chevra Kadisha since it was rejuvenated over 25 years ago. She also participates in Bikur Cholim, Tomchei Shabbos and various shiurim. Above all, Sam and Paula, from being orchim during their quest for Torah, make it a priority to open their home for others, which they continue to this day. Sam and Paula feel that the earliest of beginnings of Yeshiva Ner Boruch (PTI)-- the women’s shiur in the Singer home, the Shabbaton in Teaneck, the yeshiva’s first homes in the Adas Israel and the Singer garage-- have shaped what is now PTI-Yeshiva Ner Boruch/Ateres Brocha-Neve PTI and could never have been established without the tireless dedication of Rabbi Singer. It is truly an honor and a privilege to be a part of it. HOME KESSER TORAH FOUNDER CHAI PLATINUM DIAMOND GOLD FULL H Q E G HOME KESSER TORAH FOUNDER CHAI PLATINUM DIAMOND GOLD FULL H Q E G MR. & MRS. MARTY & JOY GOLDBERG Kesser Torah Award Marty and Joy Goldberg have lived in Passaic/Clifton since 2001. Marty was born and raised in Baltimore, Maryland where he attended Yeshiva Chofetz Chaim before learning in Eretz Yisroel at Yeshiva Ohr Yerushalayim in Bet Meir. After returning from Israel, Marty attended Yeshiva University and obtained a BA degree in Political Science and, subsequently, earned a JD degree from New York University Law School. After practicing law for a few years at Debevoise & Plimpton, Marty subsequently joined York Capital Management, an investment management firm in New York City. Joy was born and raised in Teaneck, New Jersey and earned her BA degree from Stern College. Joy pursued her graduate school education at New York University where she earned a masters degree in social work. After working at Montefiore Medical Center for several years, she decided to stay home with her growing family devoting her time to their needs and development. Joy flourishes in her role as a loving wife and mother of their wonderful children (Shoshana, Shlomo, Efraim, Ezra, and Rivkie). Marty and Joy moved to Passaic to raise their mishpocha in a community built on Chesed, Avodah and Torah. They believe that Passaic children benefit from the Kedusha of the local schools, the Yeshiva Gedola and the various Kollelim, igniting a lifelong ambition to succeed in Torah learning. Marty has had the privilege to be a Talmid of Rabbi Singer, Shlita, in a one on one private setting, and in addition, maintains chavrusas with avreichim from the West Side Kollel in Manhattan where he lived for 7 years prior to moving to Passaic. Marty also has a regular learning seder with his brother, Rabbi Avraham Goldberg, Shlita, who is a Rosh Kollel in Eretz Yisroel and Talmid of Rav Meir Stern, Shlita. Yeshiva Ner Boruch (PTI), under the leadership of Rabbi Singer and Rabbi Bodenheim, provides a warm and welcoming environment for the community to learn and daven. Yeshiva Ner Boruch (PTI) has shiurim for talmidim at all levels of learning and backgrounds, and we encourage everyone in the community to consider taking advantage of the special learning programs available at Yeshiva Ner Boruch (PTI). Lastly, we would like to express our Hakaros Hatov to Rabbi Singer for the valuable learning opportunities he has graciously given to Marty and for the Daas Torah that Rabbi Singer has offered our family at important milestones and crossroads.

In such a time the Torah guarantees fulfillment to those who stand up for it, for they are its supporters, and she will vastly repay them! We live in such a time, Hashem yerachem; Torah values are more and more commonly rejected. Yet our Yeshiva – guided by our Roshei Yeshiva, shlit”a, with the help of many volunteers and the generous support of people such as our precious Honorees – stands up for Torah.
