A friend sent this over yesterday, and it included a number of the positions previously sent to me, so rather than post each individually, I will post the site. It's called the Project Chizuk Job Board, and started very recently in Passaic; a quick glance at the jobs already posted shows jobs in Manhattan, New Jersey, and other areas. Check it out - it works for both employers and employees, and has jobs in many fields: Financial services, marketing, computers, etc.

In addition, an alumnus sent the following position currently available at the bank he is working at:

A Shabbaton Retrospective

While in the process of writing up some of my own thoughts on the Shabbaton, I saw Eliezer Orenstein online, and asked him if perhaps he'd write up his own. In typical Lander fashion, his first response was:

I'll give a testimonial:

"It didn't stink!"
~ Eliezer Orenstein ('07)

A minute later, he wrote up a few quick thoughts, which he asked me to "uncheese", but I decided to leave as is:

I honestly didn't know what to expect going into this past Shabbos; after all, whatever good times we may or may not have had, many of us seemed to be in a big rush to be done with the institution as students. But when I found myself making the familiar walk to that familiar building erev shabbos slightly late (some things remain constant) and settling into the very seat where I spent so many sedarim and minyanim... I felt something. Without sounding horribly cliche`, the Lander experience of my past was suddenly very much in my present, as I exchanged smiling nods with many friends; while some are close, with the others, it was feeling the connection that one achieves through shared experience.

While I have kept in touch with many good friends I went together through Lander with, I found myself almost overwhelmed - unable to walk through the room without finding someone to catch up and share a laugh with, over and over.

Or, more simply put, there's no great way to explain nostalgia and connectivity. If I did have to "uncheese" it, though, this is about what I'd say:

When people think about their past schools, friends, and the like, they often figure "Well, anyone who I really want to be in touch with I am". And while this is largely true, there's still something not quite quantifiable about coming back with those friends, seeing others, and reliving to some extent the memories that were formed and friendships that were forged in that place. Yair Daar spoke at lunch about na'aseh v'nishma and how the B'nei Yisroel would have had a hard time explaining rationally why they felt to do such a thing; but their experiences had led them to understand that this was what they should be doing. That same concept is applicable to our experiences in Lander: Certainly in the early years, it was easier to define Lander by what it was not than what it was. But even so, we're able to understand, even if we cannot quantify, why it is Lander was the place for us; how our experiences there helped shape our lives, from friends to faculty, from education to learning to life.

The Shabbaton was a really great reminder of this. If you would have asked anyone on their way out after the meals or the melave malka how it had been (and I asked a number of people), you'd see their eyes light up as they would say with that slight raise in pitch "It was really nice!" If you'd try to pin them down and ask what about it was so nice, they'd probably have had a harder time trying to define just what it was that really made them feel good about being there and what let them have such an enjoyable Shabbos. But they knew from that experience - however unquantifiable it may be - that they'd had a good time, and that was all that mattered.

We're glad that it was such a wonderful experience for everyone, and it gives us great encouragement for the future in both having more such events and in terms of the growth of the Lander Alumni and our continuing relationship with Lander. Thanks to all who joined us, and we look forward to continuing to keep in touch with everyone.

Alumni Monthly Learning Program

On Sunday, March 1st, at 9:45am at Lander will be the first monthly alumni shiur, given by Rav Soloveitchik on Hilchos Purim. For more information, please contact Ari Shore at shoremuad@aol.com (really).

The shiur should be about 45 minutes - 1 hour. (Shacharis does not follow.)

Refreshments for Adar's shiur are being sponsored by Ari Shore. If you are interested in sponsoring future shiurim, please contact Ari. Thanks!

Touro Job Fair Wednesday

I believe the annual Touro job fair is this coming Wednesday, February 25th. We'll try to get the full information posted later, but in the meantime, at the end of the Alumni Shabbaton, Avi Stern of B&H (where a few Lander alumni work) said to post that anyone from Lander interested in a position at B&H should definitely come over to him at the fair and give their resume in, talk to him, etc. Obviously the job market in all fields is sluggish at the moment, but as certain sectors pick up at least they will have quality candidates available to contact to fill positions when they open up.

Many other companies from a variety of fields - accounting, finance, computers, etc. - will also be at the fair.

Shabbaton Information

The first Lander College Alumni Shabbaton is here! The full schedule is listed above.

If you do NOT yet know where you are staying (hopefully this is nobody), please contact Aryeh Young at (516) 512-4494.

If you DO know where you are staying, and you are in the dormitory apartments: Please come through the front doors of the main building, and there will be a table set up. If you have not yet paid for the Shabbaton, please pay at that time and someone there will help guide you to whatever room you are in. Please also bring linen.

If you are staying elsewhere, please feel free to go straight to your host home. For those who wish [or whose hosts wish!], there will be tea lights set up on the 4th floor for people to light candles for Shabbos. If you can, however, please quickly stop by the front entrance or come with enough time before Shabbos to give your check in for the Shabbaton. Thank you in advance.

The meals are being catered by Mauzone, and the pizza for the melave malka is going to be from Shimon's. The Viennese table for dessert Friday night is from G&I Bakery.

As this is the first major alumni event, we tried to keep the costs to the alumni low; this Shabbaton is not a fundraiser. That said, the amounts being charged to alumni for the Shabbaton are able to cover about 60% of the costs of the Shabbaton, and some of the fees that were charged for the alumni discount cards covered another 15% or so. The remaining 25% of the costs of the Shabbaton were subsidized by other parts of Lander.

We look forward to an exciting Shabbos, and hope everyone has a great time!

Sorry

I apologize for the lack of posting lately. I will be posting numerous tidbits (jobs, Mazel Tovs, etc.) that have been sent to me recently in the upcoming days... meanwhile, get ready for the first Lander Alumni Shabbaton!
