Guests of Honor

Dr. Justin and Riki Hirmes

It is always special when a family’s connection

to the Yeshiva is holistic. While Justin is a regular in

Yeshiva, both during the week and on Shabbos, it is

the presence, however often, of the rest of the family

that makes this couple special. The Hirmes family does

all of the little things which people don’t necessarily

notice, but are important and meaningful. It could be

setting up the Kiddush, helping with meals for those

who are in need, organizing Tehilim and so much

more. They have chosen to raise their family with a

deep sense of chessed through action, not just words,

and sincerity in everything they do.

The Hirmes family moved to Woodmere almost

nine years ago. Justin, who grew up in Woodmere,

attended HAFTR until leaving to study in Reishit

Yerushalayim in Israel. Upon returning, he attended

and graduated from Lander College, staying at Touro

to earn his DPT in physical therapy, which he now

practices privately. Aside from all of his responsibilities,

Justin is an active member of Hatzala for the past 13

years.

Riki (fka Bernstein) Hirmes also grew up in

Woodmere and attended HAFTR. Following a year of

study at Midreshet, she attended Adelphi and then

Molloy to ultimately earn degrees as a nurse and
