                                                   and continues to be B”H.  What an amazing lesson in being o’sek b’tzorchai

                                                   Every word of Torah emanating from the mouths of these tinokos shel bais

                                                   commitment to building the absolute greatest yeshiva ketana in our
                                                   community.  Ashrecha!!!  I know Robi z”l is beaming with pride and reaping
 Pl12     FOUNDERS                                 the benefits in Gan Eden for the effort and love he expended along with
                                                   you on behalf of making this yeshiva what it is today.  We miss him terribly
                                                   but feel his palpable presence in every corner, classroom, and hallway of
                                                   YKLI.  Before HKB”H brought Robi back to HIM, Robi was able to
                                                   figuratively breathe his entire being into each brick, each Rebbe, each
          MESSAGES                                 Morah, and ultimately, into each precious boy in this yeshiva.  This yeshiva
                                                   is what he held dear to him always, and he built it with great humility and a
                                                   warm smile while being in a position of enormous responsibility.  It was his
                                                   baby and he shared his passion and love for this yeshiva with Suri equally.
                                                   They, like the other exemplary honorees, carried this yeshiva on their backs
         CORPORATE                                 until it was finally time to hoist it above their shoulders with a sense of
          SPONSORS                                 honor and fulfillment.  We are humbled and grateful to you all.  May you
                                                   continue to be zocheh to see bonim u’vnai bonim oskim b’Torah u’b’mitzvos

                                                   May we never wake up from it because it’s a really good one     …and Suri,
                                                   we certainly love you for YKLI, but we love you too for so much more.  May
         THANK YOU                                 you continue to have nachas from all of your children and grandchildren
                                                   IY”H and continue to be given the strength to accomplish all of the amazing
