On Tuesday, May 23rd, Mr. Bernie Platt visited and addressed the Yeshiva. Mr. Platt clearly impressed upon the high school students, bais medrash boys, and faculty what it means to be a true baal chesed and baal tzedakah. Mr. Platt is well-known for having been the mayor of Cherry Hill, NJ, twice, and for his unconditional tzedakah, as well as assisting many Jewish and community organizations, and achieving business successes. The boys and faculty hung onto his every word as he spoke humbly of his journey through life, starting off as a young man without any money who lost his father at a young age.
