On Motzei Shabbat, December 10, Yeshiva University High School for Boys (MTA) rebbeim, talmidim, faculty and parents gathered together for a spectacular melave malka at MTA. Delicious dairy food, including baked ziti, garlic bread and macaroni and cheese, was served to start off the evening and everyone talked and enjoyed themselves in a relaxed setting. Dessert featured doughnuts in novelty MTA-branded containers.

After the food, the large crowd went to the Lions’ Den to participate in a spirited kumsitz with the renowned musician and singer Eitan Katz. He sang several of his popular classics including “L’maancha,” “Boruch Hu,” “Geshmak to be a Yid” and many other nigunim. The audience often stood up and sang along, swaying to the tunes, and danced exuberantly in a circle, keeping many of the songs going long after they otherwise would have ended. The singing and dancing reflected ruach and achdut, and everyone had a great time throughout the program. The melave malka was definitely a big success and thanks go out to all who made it happen.
