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

Davening Yom Kippur with Rabbi Isenberg. Many people from the community would walk in for Neila. Hearing schmoozing from Rabbi Teller z”tl was very special and nice to have an interaction with him. He had a real influence on the boys. I was also impressed with the high level of secular studies.
