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

Torah bowl was a favorite. I loved being there for the Chagim as well especially the Yamim Noraim. The Rebbeim were very special. I also really loved the softball leagues. I try to stop by the Yeshiva when I'm in town.

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

Skokie gave me the foundation for where I am today. It gave me the backbone of my yiddeshkeit and to move on to bigger and better things. 

Advice for current students:

Listen to your rebbeim and do lots of chazarah.

Anything else to share?

Don't take anything for granted, especially with Kosher food!
