This past Motza’ei Shabbos, the Yeshiva Sha’arei Zion family of schools successfully held their 11^th annual Gala Dinner. The extraordinary event, held at Da Mikele Illagio, highlighted the Yeshiva’s sacred mission of instilling deep Sephardic heritage and tradition into their talmidim and talmidos. As the guests, consisting of notable rabbonim and community leaders, made their way into the hall, they were greeted by the yeshivah’s choir, led by Rabbi Aviel Azizi. It is of utmost importance for YSZ to continue teaching songs and niggunim in Nusach Yerushalmi and Bukhari, a unique goal of the yeshivah. With this vision in the forefront of the yeshivah’s every intention and goal, it was only appropriate that the theme of the night was “Making a Dream a Reality.”
