With that event in addition to a week’s worth of lectures and labs now behind us, I think our transition from college to medical school is now complete. The lectures are fast-moving and densely packed with new and insightful information but we all feel that we were prepared well for this moment.

Milgraum, a resident of Edison, New Jersey, is the youngest of seven children. Of the six boys, four attended Lander College for Men.

“The Lander program has just what we were looking for: a solid college education that’s a pathway to a great future, and a Torah environment, as well,” Micha said.

Congratulations, Mendy! Mendy Friedman, who attends Yeshivas Ohr HaChaim during the day and LCM at night, recently placed 22nd out of 4,400 contenders in the William Lowell Putnam competition. He was the highest ranking contestant of any New York college participant.

Do you really need more of a reason to build a fire and have a bbq? Maybe a little kumsitz?

Approximately 50 residents attended the show wearing outfits and accessories donated by local boutiques and stores for men and women.

The LCM Alumni Council and the Student Government teamed up to run a series of dinners where students had the opportunity to pick the brains of successful alumni. The career advice is always helpful and the connections to those already working in an industry they’re interested in can be invaluable to their career. There were seven alumni dinners, each focusing on a different field: finance/accounting, dentistry, medicine, law, physical therapy, psychology and computers.

Jason Appleson's path to the Federal Reserve Bank of New York (FRBNY) was anything but automatic. Born in Nashville, the 2008 Lander College for Men Finance grad moved to Cincinnati and then Chicago throughout his youth before finally arriving in NYC to attend Touro. All that transplantation to different territories, particularly as an Orthodox Jew, was “an interesting experience,” Appleson concedes. 

The devil himself, cowboys, Spiderman and others joined as well. As you can see, there were smiles all around.

And that’s what students did this past Motzei Shabbos at “The Motzei Shabbos Chill”. Video games, Madden, slushie and smoothie making, Dance Dance Revolution the Jewish version, board games, pizza, sushi, and just hanging out and more. Reaction post Motzei Shabbos? “That was fun.” Now repeat a few dozen times and you’ll get the idea.

The month of Purim is most known for the phrase משנכנס אדר מרבין בשמחה (Mishenichnas Adar marbin b’simcha!) and Rabbi Cohen spoke about our seemingly elusive search for happiness. We live in a country, in an age, where everyone is looking for happiness and yet they can’t seem to find it. Rabbi Cohen said that happiness comes from feeling validated, from feeling that you are on the right track and doing the right thing. As Jews, through the Torah – our guide – we can reach happiness.

Chodesh Tov! (and Sameach!)
