March 11, 2010 - Alumni Kimcha DePischa Drive
During these trying financial times, we know of a handful of yeshiva alumni that are having difficulty with their Pesach expenses. I spoke to the Rebbeim in Yeshiva about this and we all agreed that it would be appropriate to send out an email to the yeshiva list so that everyone can participate in distributing some money before Pesach to those in need. All money sent in will be going directly towards those alumni in need of money for Pesach preparations.
Checks can be sent to:
Yeshivas Ohr Reuven Gmach
c/o Heshy Friedman
6 Dike Drive
Monsey, NY 10952
Please make the checks written to: Yeshivas Ohr Reuven Gmach
Tizku L’mitzvos & a Chag Kosher V’sameach.

February 4, 2010 - Melava Malka and Snowstorm and Raffle
As of now the snowstorm prediction for Monsey is not clear. We can either get nothing or get up to 8 inches. The Melava Malka will still be as scheduled unless a significant change in the forecast is predicted tomorrow (or if we get buried on Shabbos). So everyone should plan on coming as usual.
We still do not have too many raffle items though. We plan on doing a small raffle at the Melava Malka, and a few people kindly donated towards the raffle. If you have any item(s) that you are able to donate please reply to this email letting us know.
February 1, 2010 - A letter from Daniel Stamm
To The Yeshiva Ohr Reuven Alumni:
Last week I received an email like everyone else the subject was: A personal message from Heshy Friedman. After reading his email I felt that I should share with everyone my experience at last years Melava Malka. As you all may or may not know, during last years Melava Malka I came alone without my wife a"h because she was in the hospital. I had very mixed feelings about attending but I and my wife felt that the right thing for me to do is go and show my support for a yeshiva that I call home. I was a little distressed while I was driving to Monsey knowing that my wife won't be able to join me. I thought to myself how am I going to enjoy myself while she is sick in the hospital. When I arrived, I felt so happy that I had come, and during those few hours I had a wonderful time - all my problems were forgotten during that time. It was really nice to see everyone there, especially the people who I haven’t seen for a few years. We were able to catch up and exchange phone numbers so we didn’t have to wait until another yeshiva Melava Malka to talk. As I sat in my seat looking around at all the faces all I saw were happy people laughing and smiling. We had a great zechus to hear a great devar torah from the Rosh Yeshiva, and I tell you the look on his face while he was speaking to us you could see the nachas glowing from his face from seeing his talmidim there. The yeshiva Melava Malka is a great way to show support and hakaras hatov to our Rosh Yeshiva and our home (Yeshiva Ohr Reuven) with minimal cost. The truth is I have one complaint about the Melava Malka and that it is only once a year, I guarantee if you come you will NOT regret it.
Thank You and hope to see you ALL there.
Sincerely,
Daniel Stamm - One Alumni member who will have a great time on February 6.
