greetings
Welcome to the Sixty-third Commencement Exercises of the Yeshivah of
Flatbush Joel Braverman High School.
For more than eight decades, the Yeshivah of Flatbush has maintained a remarkable level of educational excellence. It is with pride that we look back
on what we have achieved. Among these many achievements are the love for
Israel we have instilled in our students, the excellence in academics we have
infused, and the understanding of Torah uMitzvot we have communicated. The
joy of giving and helping others and the awareness of a philosophy of Torah
and Derech Eretz are reflected in the accomplishments of our alumni.
While all of us are justifiably proud of our achievements, the Yeshivah of
Flatbush looks with still greater expectation toward the accomplishments of
those who graduate today.
In this spirit, we extend our warmest congratulations and best wishes to the
Class of 2016 and to the parents, families and friends who have helped make
this special day possible.
