Rambam Mesivta recently hosted two highly successful Open Houses this past Motzaei Shabbos and Monday evening, attracting large crowds of prospective students and their families eager to learn more about the Mesivta’s distinctive approach to Torah, midos, and excellence.
The evening began with families gathering in the Shul, where Assistant Principal Rabbi Avi Haar led a heartfelt T’hilim for our brothers and sisters in Israel. Rabbi Zev Meir Friedman, Rosh HaYeshiva, then shared the school’s unique hashkafic approach and core values, providing attendees with insight into the Mesivta’s educational philosophy and history. Rabbi Avi Herschman, the newly appointed Rosh HaMesivta, spoke passionately about the essential ingredients for developing a successful ben Torah. He also highlighted Rambam’s exceptional Limudei Kodesh program, which will offer three tracks of Gemara study for incoming 9th graders, as well as the diverse extracurricular offerings such as Halacha Yomi, Sugya Yomi, Masmidim, and “Meet the Rabbi” club. These initiatives help foster a dynamic 24/7 makom Torah and build lasting relationships between talmidim and rebbeim.
Hillel Goldman, Rambam’s newly appointed principal, addressed the crowd with a presentation on Rambam’s distinctive approach to leadership and extracurricular activities, which promote student confidence, values, and instill a sense of responsibility to give back to the community. Mr. Goldman also proudly shared that Rambam is the only all boys high school to ever win the prestigious Blue Ribbon Award more than once.
The event was engaging and informative, with attendees having the opportunity to hear directly from the school’s new leadership, tour the state-of-the-art facilities, and speak with dedicated faculty members. Current students and parents also shared their enriching experiences at Rambam, giving prospective families a true sense of the school’s unique blend of academic rigor and warm community spirit. Students and parents were also given the opportunity to experience mini lessons and learn more about the Kodesh and General Studies programs.
In addition to the presentations, students had the chance to spend time in the gym, and later enjoyed a delicious collation in the lunchroom, where they could mingle and ask personalized questions to staff and parent volunteers.
Spots are filling up quickly for the school’s third and final Open House of the season, which will take place on Tuesday evening, November 12, at 7:30 p.m. If you’re interested in attending, please visit openhouse.rambam.org. The Class of 2029 is already shaping up to be a truly exceptional group!
