Dear Alumnus,

In the framework of the events of the 40^th year anniversary of the Yeshiva, we are planning to publish two books. The first is a collection of articles about the unique path and worldview of the Yeshiva and its Roshei Yeshiva written by alumni. We are at an advanced stage of collecting articles from various alumni for this book.

The second book will be album-style and is intended to open a wide window into the world of the Yeshiva's alumni, both Hesder alumni and alumni from overseas. It will include memories from Yeshiva, as well as reflections on the influence of the Yeshiva on your lives and activities today. It is our hope that this book will include as many alumni as possible.

To ensure the success of the project, we need the cooperation of each and every one of you. To this end, we have prepared a short questionnaire, and we would greatly appreciate your taking a few minutes to fill it out and send it back to us at your earliest convenience.

After analyzing the data, we will decide how to proceed. We hope to conduct personal interviews, meet with various groups – such as a group of friends who live in the same community, a group teaching in the same yeshiva or midrasha, a group working in similar professions, brothers or fathers/sons who have studied in yeshiva, etc. We welcome your ideas and suggestions.

Due to time constraints, we will only be able to interview a small percentage of alumni and, therefore, in order to represent the entire corpus of alumni and not omit any interesting and important stories, we ask each of you - far and near - to please fill out the questionnaire and return it to us as soon as possible, together with a photo.

Keep in mind that some of the answers will be published in the book.

We would also be happy to hear your stories, experiences, memories in writing, as well as recommendations and ideas about alumni from your machzor or other machzorim who would be worthwhile to interview.

Please return the questionnaire to:
