YSP talmidim greeted Rabbi Herson singing “Achein Ata Keil Mistater,” a niggun that Rabbi Herson sang on a Nichoach album decades ago. A special Tanya printing was held in the new building, especially timed for Rabbi Herson’s birthday.
The event was attended by Rabbi Herson’s sons Rabbi Asher and Rabbi Mendy Herson, Rabbi Mendel Goldberg, director of YSP, Rabbi Chaim Schapiro, Rosh Yeshiva of Morristown Tomchei Temimim Yeshiva, shliach Rabbi Dovid Dubov, Mayor of Morristown Tim Dougherty, and shluchim from New Jersey.
Rabbi Herson was gifted a portrait of himself drawn by YSP’s Learning Director Shimi Silberberg.
