What is your favorite memory/(memories) from FYHS/HTC/Kayitz:

I loved every part of the Yeshiva. We did a lot of fun things. I still keep up with Rabbi Schachter. I call Rabbi Weinberg as well. I was a dormer from Pittsburg and loved living in the dorms. I once lost $150 at Barnes and Noble and Rabbi Schachter went with me to look for it. I had invites for Shabbos every time. I was never left behind.

Please share a lesson/takeaway from your time at FYHS/HTC/Kayitz:

The Yeshiva creates the strongest bond. I looked forward to going back to school every year. There was a fun mix between dormers and in-towners. I am still in touch with so many friends from there.
