CHOICES 

 

Choices shape the tapestry of our lives. At each crossroad, we are presented
with decisions that not only define our immediate path but also echo
throughout our future. Each decision we make carves a unique path,
influenced significantly by our educational experiences and the mentors who
guide us along the way.

What historical moment formed the future of the Jewish Nation more than
Matan Torah, the receiving of the Torah? When Hashem approached all the
nations of the world to offer them the Torah, it was only K’lal Yisroel who
unequivocally chose to accept the Torah with the timeless words of Naaseh
V’nishma, we will do and we will listen. Led by Moshe Rabbeinu, the Jewish
Nation absorbed the holy words of the Torah and transmitted its teachings
to future generations.

This precious mesorah is not merely the act of imparting knowledge; it is
inculcating in each and every child, the future of our People, the pride and
responsibility of living the life of a Torah Yid. The transmitters. parents and
teachers alike, must inspire in each child, critical thinking skills and feelings of
self-worth. These role models must challenge the youth to question, explore,
and to ultimately make positive choices to fulfill his/her fullest potential.
 

Yeshivas Darchei Torah’s dedicated staff of educators and administrators
strive to empower their students with the strength to fulfill what the Torah
charges man “And choose life!” Choose to live a life of positive choices.
With warmth, dedication and devotion, every teacher realizes the uniqueness
of each student’s strengths and challenges and develops in him/her the
confidence to boundless growth. This courage, G-d willing, will stand by
them as each one makes difficult decisions at their crossroads of life.
 

In keeping with this goal, “Choices” is this year’s raffle theme.
 

Our raffle gimmick is unique. The grand prize is a money pot that grows
depending on how many tickets are sold. Last year’s grand prize was
$13,100. In addition, there are 22 prize packages valued at over $37,000!!!

will get to choose the prize package of their choice. The second name selected
will have the next choice. The third name will have the third choice, etc. The
final winner will receive the prize package that is left. Each winner will have
48 hours in which to choose their prize package.*
