Letter Rabbi Kenneth Brander - Page 1
As Ohr Torah Stone continues to grow and serve Medinat Yisrael and Jewish communities around the world, together, we are focused on three overarching goals:
Dear Friends,
As Ohr Torah Stone continues to grow and serve Medinat Yisrael and Jewish communities around the world, together, we are focused on three overarching goals:
- Excellence in education - ensuring that our close to 5,000 students receive the best possible Torah, academic, and experiential education to prepare them to serve as leading personalities imbued with Torah scholarship and values that they professionally bring to their positions in education, medicine, government, military service, academia, technology, business and as spiritual leaders of Jewish communities worldwide. Today, some are serving as ambassadors and ministers for the State of Israel!
Letter Rabbi Kenneth Brander - Page 2
-
Helping Jews everywhere find their "spiritual wings," through dynamic, relevant Jewish experiences.
- Aiding Jews who find themselves in challenging situations, whether agunot fighting for freedom from their recalcitrant husbands or people struggling to put food on the table or pay for their children's Jewish education.
Your commitment to these values and your generous support make these achievements possible.
The honorees at this year's Gala personify these values.
Maurice Spanbock z"l and Roy Stern, z"l, created the infrastructure and laid the groundwork for Ohr Torah's Stone's impact and success.

Rabbi Frederick L. Klein and Rabbi Ariel Yeshurun, alumni of Ohr Torah Stone yeshivot, brought Jews and other faith groups together in the wake of the Surfside tragedy, and work day in and day out to strengthen the communities of Southern Florida.
Dr. Yardaena Osband and Jennifer Raskas, inspired by their experiences at Midreshet Lindenbaum and committed to advanced Torah learning for women worldwide, created the International Halakha Scholars Program.
Thank you for your generosity, and for participating in this special event. Together, may we continue to grow from strength to strength.
With Gratitude,

In tribute to
Rabbi Shlomo and Vicky
whose dedication and guidance will model for many generations.
WHO REALLY OWNS ISRAEL?
All of Israel belongs to the Jewish people,
and every Jew has ownership of every inch of the land.
For there to be a true peace in the land,
the conduct must follow the width of the "owner,"
the Al-mighty, in His Torah, and not to hearken to those of whom it is said,
"those who will be your undoing and your destroyers will be from among you."
One of the directives of Torah is "give them no consideration,"
- not to give away even one inch of the land to the non-Jew.
Furthermore, there is a clear ruling (in the Code of Jewish Law, ch.329),
that when non-Jews are trying to surround a Jewish settlement,
they (the Jews) must take up arms, and not allow them to fulfill their desires,
for it is a matter of life and death.
The Lubavitcher Rebbe, o.b.m.

We are honored to participate in Ohr Torah Stone's Virtual Gala, "M'Dor L'Dor," From Generation to Generation.
At this year's event, we remember truly visionary leaders and celebrate the dedication and pioneering efforts of four OTS alumni.
Both Dr. Roy Stern and HeChaver Maurice Spanbock were communal giants who gave their hearts and souls to the Jewish community. You now have the opportunity to contribute to the Dr. Roy Stern Chesed Fund and the Maurice Spanbock Scholarship Fund in their honor. Your donations will support people in need and those unable to afford a Torah education on their own - causes very dear to the hearts of these very caring leaders.
Leadership Letter - Page 2
Rabbi Frederick Klein and Rabbi Ariel Yeshurun are compassionate leaders. In the wake of the tragic events over the summer in Surfside, they rallied their communities to help those in need, providing comfort and inspiring the world.
Dr. Yardaena Osband and Jennifer Raskas, inspired by their own experiences at Midreshet Lindenbaum, brought their pioneering vision of high-level, intensive study of halakha for professional women to fruition, with the creation of the International Halakha Scholars Program. Thanks to their initiative, 26 highly qualified women from around the world are advancing their halakhic knowledge and developing skills to help their organizations and communities.
Leadership Letter - Page 3
We are truly humbled by the character and accomplishments of all of the honorees. The previous generation clearly set the right examples for the next generation. All of them embody the values of Ohr Torah Stone - caring for those in need, and making dynamic, relevant, sophisticated Jewish education accessible to men and women everywhere.

Hearty Mazal Tov to Rabbi Ariel Yeshurun for being honored by Ohr Torah Stone. I have experienced firsthand the unique approach he has to teaching using his source-based knowledge, facilitating broad discussions that foster liberated conversations without prejudice. A trailblazer, founder and spiritual leader of the JCLC (Jewish Community and Learning Center), Rabbi Yeshurun teaches, fundraises, creates a unique curriculum, coordinates events, workshops and activities. I have seen the positive impact he has had on the community and the way he connects Jewish people to their heritage through learning and open conversations. He has empowered the youth to embrace Jewish values and foster pride in their Jewish Heritage. JCLC's moto perfectly embodies Rabbi Yeshurun's essence "To listen, learn, and teach ... with love..."
May Hashem continue to bless him and his family with health and koach to continue all the good work that he does. May he go from strength to strength and receive much hatzlacha and bracha!

for receiving the Ohr Torah Stone Alumnus Award.
We are so proud of your amazing accomplishments both as a wonderful mother of three beautiful boys and as a highly accomplished, forward thinking leader of Clal Yisroel.
At every step of your academic journey you bridged the secular and religious worlds as a scholar and student leader at Ohr Torah Stone, Columbia University and the Harvard Kennedy School.
Your initiation and development of the Ohr Torah Stone International Halakha Scholars Program for Women is reflective of your lifelong commitment to the Jewish Community and the advancement of the role of women in Modern Orthodox Judaism.

We loved our brother-in-law Roy because of the loving, caring and wonderful person he was.
We admired him for his integrity and quiet generosity.
But most of all we treasured all of the times we spent together with him and Judi on vacations, at a baseball game or family fun visits.
His name will always be a blessing. We miss him and will always keep him in our hearts.

To our beloved Rabbis Klein and Yeshurun: Your Miami Rabbinic community is so proud of you for the work that you do for our community every day. While you have benefited from Ohr Torah Stone, we all benefit from you, your teaching, your ability to work across movement boundaries and yes - your leadership when our community was in desperate need of hope, help, and healing. Rabbi Yeshurun is the immediate past president of our organization and is an inspiring leader of his congregation. Rabbi Klein is the Rabbi of Rabbis. Not only does he give us tremendous amounts of time and resources, he has been an advocate for those in need, an educator for those thirsting for knowledge and skills, and a promoter of the gifts of Judaism and Israel. We are grateful to Ohr Torah Stone for honoring Rabbi Frederick L. Klein and Rabbi Ariel Yeshurun. We are proud of our Rabbis and their achievements and we recognize their generosity of spirit and contributions to the Jewish community in Miami, Israel, and world-wide. Kol HaKavod!
Rabbinical Association of Greater Miami
As Warren Benis said, "leadership is the capacity to translate
vision into reality."
And it is the ability to take a single flame and generate light in many places
