The Hartmans have been and continue to be

In honor of Rabbi Yehuda Cheplowitz, ‫שליט''א‬

His dedication and love for his talmidim does
not end the day they graduate from WITS, but

is there every step of the way in the lives of
these young men. He is not just there for
them to call when they need him, but he wants
them to call him and share their lives with him.
Their simchas are his simchas, and their

accomplishments are his nachas.

May Rabbi Cheplowitz, and his special
Rebbetzin, Deena, be ‫ זוכה‬to see continued
nachas and growth from their beautiful family

and all of the WITS talmidim for many
generations to come.

In honor of
Rabbi Avrohom Boruch Rauch, ‫שלט''א‬

Your extraordinary caring yet demanding
approach towards your Talmidim results in
each Talmid being provided the opportunity to
develop to their maximum potential, nurtured
and guided with a healthy dose of support,
while yet demanding that they exhibit effort

and commitment to their own growth.
This basis gives them the support they need as
they enter the “real” world, and allows them to
continue to grow in their learning and middos.

May Rabbi Rauch, and his special Rebbetzin,
Sora, be ‫ זוכה‬to see continued nachas and

growth from their beautiful family and all of
the WITS talmidim for many generations to

come.

There are no words to describe the
void that is left in our hearts
upon the loss of

Rabbi Raphael Wachsman, ‫זצ''ל‬.

To have known Rabbi Wachsman is
to have been his friend and his

Talmid. His devotion to his family
and to WITS was boundless, and only

his love of learning and Torah
surpassed both. His impact on the
Torah world will be felt for many

generations to come.

In honor of
Rabbi Dovid Brafman,
Director of Development.

When Rabbi Brafman began working at WITS,
he stepped into some very large fundraising
shoes. It wasn’t just a matter of raising money

for our beloved WITS, but doing so in a
manner that represents WITS and its mission.

B”H, Rabbi Brafman is succeeding.
His extraordinary hard work, boundless
energy, and multitude of ideas have benefited
WITS these last few years. It has been a
pleasure working with him on tonight’s event,

and we look forward to working
together for many years to come.

In honor of
Rabbi Jay Hellman,
Director of Alumni Affairs.

When people want to know the quality of a
Yeshiva, one of the things they consider are
the alumni. Not just who are their alumni,
but what relationship do the alumni have with
the school, even years later. Due to the hard
work and efforts of Rabbi Hellman, WITS has a
growing and thriving alumni base who are

dedicated to helping WITS grow and be a
place for Torah learning for bochurim for
many years to come. He is also a fine example

of a WITS alumnus, as evidenced by
his beautiful family and the strong middos

he exhibits.

Yasher koach on a job extraordinarily done.

To the most incredible Parents and Grandparents around,
The Bubbie and The Papa.

We are each beyond grateful to Hakadosh Baruch Hu to have been
blessed to have both of you as our mentors, teachers, support team and
guides. You both teach us every day how to live our lives with focus on
doing what is right for the Klal, as well as our children. To be passionate

about doing good for others and finding balance and positivity in
everything you do. You have always shown us and our children the
greatest gift is to give of your time. You each personify grace, generosity,
positivity, humility and a deep love for all those around you. As a couple,
you have created an enormous ripple effect on Klal Yisroel that continues

to add only good in this world!!!

It was your open hearts and open home that started your long
relationship with WITS, when you began hosting Bochrim for Shabbos.
You continued your strong bond with the Yeshiva as you went on to send
your sons and grandsons there and dedicated your time and efforts to

strengthen it in every way you could.

This evening is just a small highlight of what you do and doesn’t even
reach the surface of just how great, giving and special you both really are.

May Hashem continue to bless you both in
good health ‫!!עד מאה ועשרים שנה‬
