Stay Involved!

Alumni bonds run deep at Yeshivah of Flatbush. For many of our alumni, the friendships made at YOF last a lifetime. Reunions are a wonderful opportunity for alumni to reconnect with former classmates, teachers and staff and learn about what is happening at the Yeshivah today.

We encourage our alumni to stay involved with the Yeshivah. Volunteer, attend a community class, mentor a current student, provide an internship, come and speak about your career, study Torah with our faculty.

Another way to stay up to date and involved is to join the alumni network at www.flatbushalumni.org. It’s a great place to learn about Yeshivah events, network with other professionals and reconnect with old classmates.

We want to thank all of the sponsors and reunion committee members who made last year’s reunions beautiful, fun and memorable. Mazel Tov and Mabrook to the classes of 1969, 1979, 1994 and 2009!
