We are back! After nearly 2 years without in person events, YOF alumni are back home again on Avenue J. Earlier this month, two YOF classes returned for their milestone reunions - the class of 2010 celebrated their 10th anniversary, and the class of 1970 celebrated their 50th anniversary.
We have more reunions coming up:
Class of 1995: Sunday, November 14th 6pm, register HERE
Class of 2011: Saturday night, November 20th, 7:30pm, register HERE
Class of 1996: Sunday, April 3rd, 2022 - Time TBA
CLASS OF 1970: 50th YEAR REUNION
The Class of 1970 returned on October 3rd for their 50th (+1) reunion! 15 months after their initial reunion date we were able to welcome over 80 alumni back to an outdoor event at our high school campus.
This class is a very special group. In the summer of 2020, they started weekly Zoom calls to connect and support each other during this difficult time. Their Zoom calls continue and are a weekly can’t-miss-appointment for over 70 members in the US and Israel! The ties that bind, really shine through for this special group.
Here are some of the things members of this class had to say about coming back to Flatbush!
“Thank you for making this once in a lifetime milestone so incredible.” - Steven Schonfeld
“It was an amazing day, one I will never forget.” - Malka (Sprei) Fraenkel
“On the long flight back to California, I was smiling a lot thinking of how proud I am to be part of the great Class of ‘70!” - Ahvie Herskowitz
“I am especially grateful that what was a culmination resulted in so many beginnings for me (and, I suspect, for all of us)—discovering connections with people I didn’t know well before, jump-starting old friendships that had fallen aside because of “life”, and bonding over all that we share.” - Marlene (Stulbach) Schleifer
CLASS OF 2010: 10th YEAR REUNION
The Class of 2010 came home on October 17th for their delayed 10th reunion. Over 160 alumni and guests returned to the Yeshivah. It was an incredible time to reconnect with their classmates and members of the faculty.
A big thanks to Rabbi Beyda and Rabbi Besser for their inspirational words of Torah at the event.
“Getting to revisit high school and reconnect with faculty, my peers, and these memories was so special!" - Rena Nasar-First
“So much has changed at Flatbush in the ten years that I’ve been out of school. It was so great being back together and sharing in the excitement of Flatbush now.” - Dr. Teddy Chattah
