He was inducted into the Artillery unit of the IDF and after intensive training, served on the borders of Lebanon and Egypt. Currently, after completing his service, he is pursuing his Bachelors in Biology at Bar Ilan University and plans to go on to medical school.

He is also an Assistant Professor of Pediatrics at the Mount Sinai ICAHN School of Medicine and is the Director of the Pediatric Critical Care Fellowship there.
     
    “The dual curriculum at the Yeshiva prepared me for the rigors of Medical School while creating a strong Jewish foundation that has kept me connected to my Jewish learning and community despite my demanding schedule.”
  • Leah Berry

    Jewish Federation and AIPAC

    Mrs. Berry graduated YGW in 2000. She received her Master’s in Social Work and Jewish Communal Service from the University of Maryland School of Social Work and Baltimore Hebrew University. She began her career at The Associated: Jewish Federation of Baltimore where she was responsible for lay-leadership development and the building Jewish community cohesion and connections with individuals from across the religious spectrum. She initiated leadership programs for Jewish teens, partnerships between Baltimore City Schools and volunteers from the Jewish community, and staffed the Jewish Women's Giving Foundation. Mrs. Berry now serves as AIPAC’s Deputy Director of the Mid-Atlantic region and manages a team responsible for growing the pro-Israel movement.

    “I have tremendous gratitude to the Yeshiva because of its warm and welcoming environment. The teachers and staff were accessible and present, served as incredible role models, and taught us in a holistic way to always be working on ourselves as people. The solid foundation that I received in the Yeshiva enabled me to understand who I am as a Jew and how to engage with people from all walks of life.”

  • Rabbi Avi Mammon

    A Community Leader

    Rabbi Mammon, originally from Staten Island, NY, attended the Yeshiva College program from 1999-2004. For the past 13 years he has served as the Rabbi of Congregation Light of Israel in Rochester, NY. Although the synagogue has been in existence for 117 years, when he arrived it was struggling to get new members and was only running weekend services in a rented room of another congregation. Today, the synagogue owns its own building, has over 100 active members and runs nightly Torah learning programs for dozens of people in addition to regular programs with the local JCC that draw over 200 individuals from all walks of life.
     
    “The Yeshiva provided me with the tools, knowledge, and vision needed to become a leader of an out-of-town Jewish community. The Yeshiva’s top priority is the education of the students but a major component of that is to simultaneously have an impact on the greater community. It’s not just about academic learning - it’s about helping the students reach their greatest potential as individuals, with their future families, and as members of their communities.”
