DRS Yeshiva High School wishes a hearty mazal tov to this year’s Class of 2015 honorees.
Valedictorian: Daniel Aharon. Daniel Aharon is a gifted student who has achieved amazing academic success throughout his four years at DRS. Daniel was designated as an AP Scholar with Honors and chosen as a National Merit Scholarship Semi-Finalist. As editor of the DRS Newsletter, the DRS Address, and associate editor for DRS’s weekly Torah publication, Daniel constantly gives of his time to the school’s weekly student-run publications. Daniel has also served as coordinator for the Kulanu/DRS learning program which mentors boys with special needs, growing the program to a record number of participants. A member of the Debate, Torah Bowl, College Bowl, and Model Congress teams, Daniel is a vital member of the DRS student body. Daniel will be studying in Yeshivat Sha’alvim next year.
Salutatorian: Yoni Goldberg. Yoni Goldberg is an extraordinarily talented student. He has achieved an impeccable academic record, gaining entrance to Princeton, while also serving as captain of debate and basketball teams and a staple in the DRS beismidrash. Perhaps his most incredible attribute is his stellar character and middottovot, all the while maintaining an incredibly humble demeanor. Yoni will be studying in Yeshivat Sha’alvim next year.
Keter Shem Tov Awardee: Yehuda Inslicht. Yehuda Inslicht truly finds favor in the eyes of all who know him. Yehuda has constantly demonstrated exceptional middot and as such is beloved and respected amongst his peers. The Keter Shem Tov award is unique in DRS as the honoree is selected by the members of the senior grade. Yehuda has grown tremendously in his learning, and his commitment to MedinatYisrael is illustrated by his efforts in singlehandedly launching the DRS Israel Action Committee, running various drives to benefit the IDF. Despite all his accomplishments, Yehuda never draws attention to himself, always doing what should be done because it is the right thing to do. Yehuda will be studying in Yeshiva Kerem B’Yavneh next year. v
