Every Rebbe knows your name
TVA taught me to love Am Yisrael deeply and to see the beauty in every Jew. I learned the importance of chessed and helping others, not just as a value but as a way of life. The opportunities I had to give and connect with others deepened my sense of responsibility and purpose. Now as the madrich for the TVA guys in YU I try to live and share those same values every day.
TVA revealed to me the endless beauty in being part of the Jewish story, awakening in me a deep love, strong connection, and lasting sense of responsibility to the Jewish people, the Torah, and Eretz Yisrael. The meaningful relationships I formed with my Rebbeim and friends helped me discover my identity within Judaism and gave me the confidence, tools, and passion to live as a proud and connected Jew wherever life takes me.
TVA provided me with two of the best years of my life, allowing me to discover and connect deeply with my Jewish identity. Tiyulim and Chessed opportunities strengthened my connection to Eretz Yisrael and Am Yisrael.
