Having spent quality time in a yeshiva setting, many for the first time in their life, they were eager to share the wealth of knowledge and inspiration they received over the weekend with their friends. “It was gratifying to see how interested everyone was in learning all they can from the special people here in Baltimore,” says Rabbi Son-
nenblick, “And it was overwhelming to have such a positive response from the yeshiva and the community. We are indebted to our hosts and organizers, especially Rabbi Boruch Neuberger, for all their excitement in helping this trip become the amazing success that we envisioned.” Mr. Heller added that the yeshiva made a lasting impression on the men. “The yeshiva and the boys learning there were extremely impressive,” he said, “Much credit goes to the Neuberger family. Watching how Rabbi Herman Neuberger’s vision is being carried out by his children and grandchildren was very special”
