What a wonderful way to help support the YOYA!


Andrew Lewis and his Jubilee Birthday

    Andrew’s 50th birthday and the Yeshiva’s 10th anniversary occurring in the same year is a perfect combination!
Andrew has been a strong supporter of Jewish education all of his life and has actively supported YOYA since its inception.  He has been a member of the board for many years and was instrumental in ensuring that the Yeshiva has a permanent home, collects tuition and solicits donors.  In short, Andy’s efforts have been critical to the continued viability of the school.
It is very fitting that we are matching up Andrew’s passion for Torah, the cause of Jewish education and his 50th birthday celebration.  We hope you will join us by taking advantage of one or more of these opportunities:

1)  Honor Andrew on his milestone birthday
2)  Honor YOYA and their decade of achievements
3)  Honor or Memorialize anyone of your choosing

Thank you so much for partnering with us to honor the
Torah and what it stands for.

The Family of Andrew R. Lewis
