Q&A with Rabbi Arye Sufrin Incoming Head of School Q: Every morning, I’m grateful for...

A : My amazing wife, our four beautiful children, and extended family who are sources of inspiration for my own personal growth. I am grateful to be surrounded by incredible educators and administrative staff at YULA who tirelessly devote their lives to impacting our students. “It takes a village to raise a child” and our students are blessed to be part of an incredible village committed to providing them with an uncompromising Torah and general studies education.

Q: I got into education because...

A : It is a special calling with an incredible responsibility.

Educators inspire, impact, and mold the future. I am passionate about helping every individual realize his or her full potential. I am passionate about infusing and inspiring the next generation to be loud and proud Jews who love Torah, Medinat Yisrael, and have refined middot tovot as they become 21st century leaders.

Q: The educator who most directly impacted my life was...

A : My father. I grew up in a home with a father, mentor and role model who is passionate about Jewish education.

His love for his students, his vision, leadership, and tireless work ethic is inspiring to observe. Most importantly, he lives a meaningful and purposeful life that impacts the next generation.

Q: My plans for the first year in my new role as Head of School will be...

A : To focus on asking a lot of questions, to be an active listener, and to evaluate the school’s strengths so we can identify growth opportunities for the future. As Head of School, I have the responsibility to ensure the financial sustainability of the school so we can provide our students with an uncompromising Judaic and general studies education. Simultaneously, this is a crucial year as we transition into a beautiful new state of the art campus.

I will help all faculty, students, and administrative staff be fully prepared to ensure a smooth transition. I aim to lead in a way that is supportive, accessible, passionate and sincere, and to build upon our school culture of continuous growth and improvement.

Q: Three things I expect in my colleagues are...

A : To make teamwork a priority, to open dialogue and communication, to be active and ongoing learners, and to have a sincere love for their profession. That’s four. I have great expectations!

Q: If I could pass advice onto the next generation of Jewish leaders, I would say...

A : Take advantage of every Rabbi, faculty member, class, and moment at YULA. YULA gives you the tools to be a proud, observant Jew and equips you with knowledge and skills to further advance in yeshiva, college, and your career. My hope is that you will have a sincere love for Hashem, Torah, and Judaism and understand not just the “what” of Judaism, but also the “why.” Remember that whatever profession you assume, you will likely become the spokesperson and unofficial rabbi of the office who is called upon to answer all Jewish related questions, whether it is about why Jews leave the office early for Shabbat or Israeli news and politics. Our heritage, faith and love for Judaism is something we must be proud of. People may have questions, but most respect a person with knowledge, articulate answers, and a person who is proud of who they are. The best way to be prepared is to take advantage of YULA now.

As it is stated in Pirkei Avot, “Im ein acshav – eimatai” – If not now, then when?

“

The camaraderie that YULA creates between the student body, the staff and administration is what separates YULA from every other Jewish High School in the country. I, along with all my fellow YULA alumni, have great pride acknowledging the fact that we are YULA graduates. We associate everything we do with YULA and I don’t believe any other school has this connection to their students.

- Josh Kohan ‘13

#IsraelPride Medinat Yisrael and Eretz Yisrael play a pivotal role in the YULA mission. It’s no surprise that so many of our students spend a year or more learning in Israel following their graduation.

We were honored to host new Israel Consul General Sam Grundwerg at a private Trustees reception where he was interviewed by YULA’s Zionism teacher, Jamie Frankel .

The AIPAC Policy Conference is an important component of YULA’s connection and devotion to Medinat Yisrael.

We are exceptionally proud of our students who play an active role in this important annual event.

Elnatan Zaharya ‘17 will be enlisting in Tzahal immediately upon graduation from YULA.

“

When you walk into YULA, you really feel the connections that people have to each other, to the teachers, to the rebbeim.

- Azriel Menachem ‘17

”

“

I’m on the soccer team. When we’re out on the soccer field, we show our opponents that the Torah that we learn really impacts us, not only in the classroom but also in our daily lives.

- Rabbi Joseph Schreiber, Incoming Principal

”

- Moshe Fhima ‘19

As a staff, we collectively see our roles to be both mentors and facilitators, eager to give guidance and ready to support our students helping them become the Jewish leaders of tomorrow.

”

“

It’s exciting to watch the boys grow in their learning of Torah and General Studies, realizing the connections and relevance of each.

In their four years at YULA they transform into young men ready to take responsibility for themselves and the path that lies ahead.

”

- Rick St. Laurent, General Studies Principal

“

As a proud Yeshiva High School, our aim is to instill within our students a passion for inspiring and serious Torah learning, refined middot tovot, and love for medinat Yisrael. To a YULA student, Torah is never archaic, but must always have relevance, sense of transcendent purpose, and serve as a guide and inspiration for the way we live our lives.

- Rabbi Arye Sufrin,

YULA, at its core, strives to elevate. From the fantastic rebbeim and General Studies teachers to administrators and lay leadership, they work together closely to ignite the ambitious and lofty goal: to elevate.

Ryan Hyman, Director of Institutional Advancement

Letter from the President Dear YULA Nation, What a year it’s been for YULA Boys High School. Our school continues to grow academically and spiritually and YULA continues to be acknowledged as the school for the highest quality Torah education coupled with an exceptional general studies education; a distinction of which we are certainly proud.

We saw record attendance and record-setting fundraising yet again at this year’s Golf Tournament, Trustees Event and Celebration of Torah Campaign. This fundraising is critical to YULA’s mission to provide an excellent education to our students, regardless of their financial situation. I thank each of you for your passionate commitment to our school.

One of our proudest achievements, after many years of planning, is that we broke ground on our highly anticipated Campus Completion Project. Tons of earth was excavated, foundations have been dug, and we are now well on our way to delivering this new, expanded campus by late Spring 2018. I would like to thank our generous Capital Campaign supporters for their generosity and vision to Shape The Future of YULA Boys. I am pleased to report that we have now raised over $13 million, but we have a ways to go. I invite you to join us as a Capital Campaign donor and to be a partner in YULA’s bright future.

We have continually challenged ourselves – board, administration and faculty - to be the very best we can be so that every YULA student receives the best possible Judaic and general studies education. We will continue to push the envelope, daily.

We have set our goals high, but our mission is vital, and our students - your children, grandchildren, friends and neighbors - are so worthy of our investment!

David Nagel President & Chairman of the Board YULA Boys High School

A special thank you to a record number of guests who helped us break our fundraising record again this year and played a pivotal role in Shaping The Future. Congratulations to our honorees Tina ‘85 and Michael Loboda , Dael Geft ‘96 and Rachel Margolies ‘99.
