LCM ALUMNI WEBSITE

Last year we initiated a new LCM alumni website, designed to publicize job opportunities, mazel tov's, alumni events, and other important information relevant to LCM alumni. Hopefully, this website can become a tremendous networking opportunity, but ultimately it is dependent on our alumni. We hope that all alumni will contribute to making this website a true success - keep your ears perked and email us about job openings in your company, an engagement or new baby celebrated by an alumnus, or anything else you would like to share with your fellow alumni. Please check us out at
LCMalumni.blogspot.com .

IF YOU KNOW ANY LCM ALUMNI PERSONAL NEWS, JOB OPENINGS, OR WOULD JUST LIKE TO GET THE WORD OUT ABOUT SOMETHING, PLEASE EMAIL THE SITE ADMINISTRATOR, EZZIE GOLDISH, AND HE WILL BE HAPPY TO POST THE INFORMATION ON YOUR BEHALF.

Pre-Yom Kippur Event Huge Success

On Thursday night the LCM Alumni Association hosted its first event of the year. Almost sixty alumni gathered at the home of Dani and Tamar Allen for inspirational words of chizuk from the Mashgiach and Rabbi Soloveitchik, as well as, a gourmet, all-you-can-eat smorgasbord from Carlos and Gabby's. All of New York City five boroughs were properly represented, with alumni attending from Brooklyn, Queens, Staten Island, Manhattan, and the Bronx. In addition to the shiurim and scrumptious dinner, many alumni enjoyed the opportunity to socialize and network with old, but not-forgotten, friends of the past. A wonderful time was had by all, and as one alumnus noted, "it was amazing to see alumni from every single graduating class in attendance together." Thank you to Dani and Tamar Allen, Eytan and Tamar Rosenbaum, as well as, G & I Bakery, for graciously sponsoring our first event of the year.

Yamim Noraim Davening at LCM

Over fifty alumni and their families returned to LCM for yamim noraim tefillos. Led by veteran baalei tefilla, LCM alumni, Yehuda Salamon and Gabi Shull, our davening has become a popular and beloved experience among many Kew Garden Hills residents. Over two-hundred and fifty people attended Rosh Hashana davening, and almost FOUR HUNDRED people will be packed into our Beis Medrash on Yom Kippur. Each and every table and aisle is already filled to the brim, and seating is now officially closed. We look forward to seeing you on Yom Kippur and may all of our tefillos be answered l'tova. If you have any last minute seating issues, please email Avi Krym.

LCM Alumni Basketball Team is Now Filled

The inaugural LCM Alumni Basketball team is beginning its first season in the LCM intramurals.

The team is led by alumni co-captains, Zvi Schonbach and Eytan Rosenbaum. Hatzlacha!

Tonight's event l'iluy nishmas Aliza Shull a'h was a beautiful and inspiring success, starting with a drasha from the Mashgiach R' Moshe Bamberger, followed by strong words of chizuk from Gabi Shull regarding Aliza and her desire to stop all forms of machlokes, in addition to his campaign to have a sefer Torah written in her memory. The evening was capped by the always great R' Paysach Krohn, who touched on Gabi's point with his array of shmuessim and stories while emphasizing the need for showing kavod to one another, especially as we head into Shavuos.

We hope to have the video from TorahAnytime.com within a few weeks and thank them for recording the event.

During his speech, Dr. Lander shared with the crowd the very exciting (but yet to be finalized) news that Touro College has, rather than trying to attain all the permits necessary to establish a new medical college, decided to purchase the New York Medical College. LoHud is closing in on the story:

New York Medical College, which has been looking for a large university to take it over, has signed a letter of intent with a university the medical school won't identify.
"For a while New York Medical College has been exploring several candidates and last month signed a letter of intent with one of those candidates," the medical school's spokeswoman, Donna Moriarty, said.

Citing a confidentiality agreement, Moriarty, medical school officials and faculty members declined to talk about the school's possible sale.
The college, sponsored by the Archdiocese of New York, is one of the largest private medical schools in the country but one of the last that is not part of a university.
It has operated with a deficit in recent years, reflecting the financial instability of its affiliated hospitals, including Westchester Medical Center.
The archdiocese also declined comment, spokesman Joseph Zwilling said.
In the past, officials from three Catholic universities - St. John's University in Queens, Fordham University in the Bronx and Seton Hall University in New Jersey - have toured the medical school.
Officials at Touro College, a Jewish university with sites on Long Island and in New York City, are in "serious negotiations" with New York Medical College, spokeswoman Barbara Franklin said yesterday. She also said Touro officials were bound by a confidentiality agreement.

The benefits to Touro and by extension students at Lander are obvious; this is a momentous occasion for Touro and for Lander. When Dr. Lander made the announcement at the Melave Malka, it was met with not only huge applause but also a sense of wonderment on the part of many alumni, who were positively impressed that he was still so active and able to pull off such a deal, considering his age. Dr. Lander himself addressed this point, noting that though he is in his mid-90's now, he still has the same schedule he's had for fourty years: Arriving to work at 9:30 in the morning, and staying until 6:00 in the evening. Certainly, this is just another stone in his wall of accomplishments, and will assist Lander students tremendously for years to come.

PURIM AT LCM

Purim is finally here and for many of us, Purim brings back some of our fondest Lander memories. The hilarious shpiels, the leibidik chagigos, and the festive seudos celebrated with our Rebbeim were all unique experiences, seperating Purim apart from the day-to-day grind of our sedarim and classes. Although most of us do not have chance to regularly participate in LCM activites, we would like to warmly encourage all of our alumni to come and partake in the yeshiva's Purim festivities.

Affixed below is a schedule for Purim at LCM. We look forward to seeing you!

Good Shabbos,

Aryeh Young
Director of Alumni Affairs

LCM Alumni Kollel Kicks Off

Thanks to the diligence and determination of LCM alumnus, Ari Shore, our monthly, Sunday morning kollel is now a reality. The inaugural shiur took place this past Sunday and over twenty alumni participated. Alumni traveled from Brooklyn, Passaic, Staten Island, and Queens to hear Rav Soloveichik shlit"a deliver a stimulating halacha l'ma'aseh shiur on mishloach manos and matanos l'evyonim.

This was the first shiur in an ongoing monthly series of shiurim designed specifically for our alumni, featuring different Beis Medrash L'Talmud roshei yeshiva. The topic and maggid shiur for the next shiur will be announced shortly and all are encouraged to attend.

The shiur takes place every four weeks at 9:45 am at LCM, and of course, breakfast is served.

Thank you to Ari Shore for sponsoring breakfast. If you would like to sponsor breakfast in the future, please contact Ari at 315-569-7836.

Shabbaton Round-Up

The first annual LCM Alumni Shabbaton was a huge success! Over 100 alumni participated in the event, in addition to women, children, rebbeim, the dean, and other faculty members. All in all, over 200 people participated in the Shabbos reunion and a great time was had by all. The shabbos began with a leibidik davening, lead by Gabi Shull, followed by an enjoyable seudas shabbos. The dining room was rearranged to create a more family-oriented environment, and each table was beautifully decorated with colorful flowers, sponsored by Sochi Hornung. Thank you, Sochi! The Chair of the Alumni Council, Moshe Ornstein delivered a d'var torah, recalling his LCM experiences, noting the differences he sees in the current LCM student body compared to those of the early days. "It used to be a certain member of the hanhalah permitted select students to have a Super Bowl party in the dorms. Now, there are probably students at LCM who don't even know what the Super Bowl is!," recalled Ornstein. Perhaps, though, the highlight of the evening was the Viennese Table that followed. Everyone enjoyed the gourmet desserts, as people mingled and schmoozed with people they had not seen in years. As the dining room was reset for Shabbos day, people stayed for several hours into the night, enjoying the opportunity to catch up with old friends.

Shabbos day proved to be just as enjoyable. Rav Shmulewitz addressed the alumni during davening, discussing the importance of tzedakah and hakaras hatov. At the second seuda, Yair Daar gave a memorable d'var torah, generating laughter throught the dining room, joking about LCM's lack of a defined identity, yet, the importance of being able to define yourself by what you are not. Later in the afternoon, Rav Soloveichik delivered a stimulating pre-Mincha shiur, and shalosh seudos brought back the memories of old. Men and women enjoyed separate shalosh suedos, allowing the women to meet new friends in the community, and help strengthen the Lander N'shei. Meanwhile, the men gathered for an inspirational yeshivaesque shalosh seudos, with singing and stirring divrei chizuk from the Mashgiach.

Motzei Shabbos added a different element to the shabbaton. Many alumni and faculty who could not join us for shabbos drove in for the melave malka. Dr. Lander delivered divrei bracha to our alumni, and then stayed on hand to watch the Best of Lander Purim Shpiels - a Burg and Bomzer production, that brought back many memories and laughter to all. Thank you to Jon and Sruli for all of your hard work for making the evening a tremendous success. Finally, as the night began to slip away, alumni enjoyed a delicious dairy melave malka and received brand new, beautiful LCM sweatshirts to take home and show off to their communities. All in all, it was a huge success and we are already planning on how to make next year's shabbaton even better!

Attached below is alumnus, Eliezer Ornstein's, perspective on the shabbaton:

"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."

N'shei Lander Adar Event Focuses on Purim and Kiruv

This past motzei shabbos, almost twenty LCM wives gathered for a pre-purim motzei shabbos get-together. It was an exciting night filled with fun and inspiration. The women organized a raffle (with homemade prizes) to raise money for Chickens for Shabbos, watched an inspirational video on the difference one person can make in this world, and then put the message into action, preparing mishloach manos for less religious co-workers and classmates. (Of course, they also made their own Purim cookies). Thank you to Ilana Schwartz for organizing this event!

This was the second n'shei event in the past month, following a highly popular shiur from R' Tannenbaum, Beis Medrash L'Talmud's newest maggid shiur.

LCM Alumni Council Meeting Scheduled for Wed. Night

The LCM Alumni Council will be meeting this Wednesday at 8:00 Pm. If any alumni would like to contribute ideas to be discussed at the meeting, please contact the Office of Alumni Affairs and we will be happy to add your issues to the agenda. As always, input is appreciated!

Database Updates

The LCM Alumni Council is currently working to gather up-to-date information on all former LCM/Beis Medrash L'Talmud students. This is a tremendous undertaking and is being done to create an effective method of maintaining contact with all alumni. Many of our alumni do not receive our newsletters and are not made aware of alumni events. Furthermore, LCM would like to be able to send LCM memorabilia and other gifts in the mail to our alumni. Most likely, you will be hearing from LCM alumnus, Chananel Gez, this week, if you have not yet received a phone call from him. We will be collecting a database that includes, phone numbers, addresses, emails, spouse's name, current occupation, and year of graduation. We appreciate your assistance in helping us with this endeavor. Thank you, Chananel!

Alumni Hashkafa Shiur Continues

Come enjoy a shiur on the parsha and its timeless lessons and reunite with the Mashgiach and former chaveirim.

The shiur is held every Wednesday at 9:15 PM (culminating with Maariv at 10:00) and will continue every Wednesday evening unless otherwise notified by email. The location will be on the 4th floor in the President's conference room of Lander College for Men, 75-31 150th St., Kew Gardens Hills, NY.

If possible, please RSVP if you plan on attending.

No Buses in Lander

2009-03-05T12:03:00.002-05:00

But that doesn't mean Lander can't take part in brilliant inventions:

If Eric Forkosh has his way, the days of waiting on a street corner for the school bus to arrive will become a relic of the past. Forkosh, a junior at Rambam Mesivta High School in Lawrence, L.I., created Bus Alert!, a handheld unit that uses radio signals to alert students and parents when the school bus is arriving.

The 16-year-old entrepreneur came up with the concept while waiting for 15 minutes in the icy cold, only to discover that he had missed the bus. “There has to be a better way to go about it,” he thought to himself.

On a recent evening in February, Forkosh presented the Bus Alert! working prototype that he built himself to a panel of judges at the first annual Gryfe-Levy Student Entrepreneur of the Year Award. The competition was held at Touro College’s Graduate School of Business in Lower Manhattan and sponsored by Touro’s Lander College for Men division.

The Bus Alert! business plan won Forkosh the grand prize of $1,500, beating out 14 other finalists from eight yeshiva high schools in the New York metropolitan area.

A Shabbaton Retrospective

2009-02-22T22:00:00.000-05:00

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

2009-02-22T10:42:00.003-05:00

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

2009-02-22T10:17:00.003-05:00

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

2009-02-19T18:03:00.008-05:00

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

Rabbinical/Medical Conference: Navigating the Realities of the Healthcare System: Religiously, Economically, Emotionally, Spiritually, and Medically

2009-01-25T11:04:00.002-05:00

Via Josh - the National Council of Young Israel is having an annual conference that would be interesting for all [future] Rabbis, Doctors, and people in the medical fields, if not everyone else...

Monday, February 16th:

Rabbinic/Medical Conference: Navigating the Realities of
the Healthcare System: Religiously, Economically, Emotionally,
Spiritually, and Medically

National Council of Young Israel/Young Israel Council of Rabbis Annual Rabbinic Conference will take place on Monday, February 16th, 2009 at Utopia Jewish Center, 64-41 Utopia Parkway in Fresh Meadows, Queens.

This year's theme is "Navigating the Realities of the Healthcare System: Religiously, Economically, Emotionally, Spiritually, and Medically". The conference is in partnership with Metropolitan Jewish Health System, in conjunction with UJA Federation of New York and Maimonides Medical Center. The Rabbinic Conference will break new ground in enabling rabbanim, rebbetzins, physicians, chaplains, social workers and caregivers to look more clearly at the difficult realities posed by the healthcare system. Through dynamic lectures, shiurim, and panel discussions with leading experts in halacha, medicine, bioethics, and chaplaincy, participants will learn to navigate the challenges and considerations faced by families
confronting serious illness. Topics to be discussed include end-of-life issues, futile care in halacha, and managing the financial burdens of medical care, among others.

For more information, to view a complete schedule, or to register, please contact the Department of Rabbinic Services at 212-929-1525 ext. 113, by email at rabbis@youngisrael.org or visit our website: www.youngisrael.org/content/rabcon09.cfm.
