On Wednesday, June 1, NCSY & Torah High celebrated the amazing students, advisors, staff, and parents who make our organization great!
Our Annual Night of Recognition featured keynote speaker, Mo Lidsky, who spoke of his incredible journey to find and love Judaism; it truly touched everyone in attendance. Some other fantastic moments of the evening included a large donation by Mrs. Vivienne Ziner to her son’s JSU, honouring the Deutsch family for going above and beyond the regular call of duty, and Bethea Reznik’s tearful acceptance of her “Parent of the Year award.”
Our big winners of the night, our “NCSY’ers of the Year” were two best friends who have attended every NCSY/Torah High program and event together- Adam Benzaquen and Yaakov Benyair.
