Avodas Hakodesh Award

Rabbi Yosef and Shani Richtman

There are many ways that people contribute

to the growth of an institution. In the case of the

Richtman family, there are just too many to list.

Everything from the weekly divrei Torah, the food in

the Yeshiva, Mosher Kosher, Avos U’banim and so

many other things, Yosef is there to fill in the blanks.

Regardless, when it comes to the Richtman family,

nothing is done or said without a smile, dedication

and selflessness. The Yeshiva is fortunate to have them

as members of its hanhala. Outside of Yeshiva, Yosef

volunteers for many organizations and also assists

in running programs for Siach Yitzchok. Yosef can

be seen all over the neighborhood during the week,

running to a chavrusa or to do a chesed.

He grew up in St. Louis and Chicago, graduating

from Skokie Yeshiva High School before learning at

Bais Yisroel for the following 4 years. During his 4th

year in Bais, Yosef married his wife Shani. When they

returned to America, Yosef learned in Yeshiva Sh’or

Yashuv for one year, after which he joined the then

newly formed YGFT Kollel. After learning full time in

the Yeshiva for several years, Yosef was added to the

YGFT staff as Director of Special Projects. He is truly

instrumental in the Yeshiva’s success.
