Chesed and community service are core facets of the Yeshivah of Flatbush. Giving back and supporting others in our community is a middah that stays with our alumni long after they graduate. In this newsletter, we are highlighting just a few alumni, who are making a difference in their communities every day.
Thanksgiving is all about families, gratitude and giving thanks. The Yeshivah of Flatbush family is grateful for every gift we receive - and in the spirit of Thanksgiving, we hope you pay-it-forward to the next generation of alumni by donating to the Alumni Campaign, which supports 836 students who receive tuition assistance. We are sure that thousands of our alumni practice Chesed day in and day out. We are proud of the giving community we created, which impacts Klal Yisrael and the world at large. Happy Thanksgiving!
