Purim Shpeils

Motzai Shabbos March 22nd the Yeshiva got together in the cheder ochel for our annual Purim Shpeils. Pictured above is R' Sheftel Weinberg with two of his talmidum from his bekius shiur Bert (Binyamin Jacobovitz) and Ernie (Gil Broochian)

The night featured some form of standup comedy from R' Mendel Horowitz. Purim Grammen from shana alef students Moshe Kaplan, Mordechai Landesman and Ari Leskowitz; as well as stand up from Lesko. Josh Gersten and Meir Gersten (no relation) put on a variety of skits about life at DEC. The show stopper was a music video and a documentary about the yeshiva put together by Ari Galster, Ari Manheim and Danny Aronovski.

But by far the most unbelievable, extraordinary and shocking moment of the night came when R' Zalman Gittleman was caught on camera in a Purim costume.

Derech Etz Chaim capped off the night with a beautiful Melave Malka of singing and deli. It was a very sweet touch to a ruach filled Shabbat Purim at the yeshiva. A lively Kabbalas Shabbos led by R' Sheftel and Shabbos Meals with all of the DEC rebbeim in attendance was part of a three day Purim weekend that won't come along for more than a DECade -- 2021
