CLASS ReunionsS

Thank you to the more than 400 alumni who attended the 1971, 1972, 1997 and 2012 reunions. We were so happy that you all had a wonderful time marking this major milestone. All of the reunions offered a wonderful opportunity to catch up with old friends and former classmates and learn about what is happening at the Yeshivah today. We hope you enjoyed seeing the new building and how YOF has advanced. To those who were unable to attend, please know you were sorely missed and we hope to see you at future Flatbush events.

“We’re here to reconnect, to remember our school experiences, to see what kind of people we’ve become and what we've made of our lives – to understand what challenges we’ve had on our long and winding roads, how we have addressed them and, one hopes, overcome them.”

—Judah Levine

Thank you to the Class of 1997 Reunion Committee members: Eddie Cohen, Moshe Cohn, Sara Pollac Evenhar, Tanya Nabakov Green, Abe Sultan and Tamar Bruger Weinrib.

“As a high school English teacher for over 20 years, I can tell you that when I teach, I think of Rabbi Besser, Mrs. Kohl, Yotav, Senora Birman, the Haramatis, and so many others who have taught me that patience with teenagers, love and passion for your subject, and individualized attention is what makes one a great educator.”

— Tanya Nabakov Green

Thank you to the Class of 2012 Reunion Committee members: Paulina Mann Azrak, Batya Abadie Cohen, Eddie Esses, Alisa Tajfel Rosenbloom, Sammy Sabbagh and Claire Setton Shabot.

"It was an amazing experience to be back together. So much has changed in the past 10 years, but when we walked into Flatbush it was like no time had passed at all. It was very meaningful.”
