To Whom It May Concern:
I am proud to recommend a beloved student, Kaya Stone, for your fellowship
program. I was asked to write as one who has functioned in the capacity of an
employer of Kaya, but I would first like to say a few words about him as a
student.
Kaya is a highly intelligent, perceptive young man. He came to our institution
committed to capitalizing on the opportunity of a third year of study in
Israel, and he left with the satisfaction of having accomplished that goal.
Kaya grew in learning, in character, in depth of understanding. He seeks truth
in each and every area of his life, whether in learning, discussing philosophy,
or relating to his fellow students and his teachers. Because of his positive
disposition, his reflective way of operating, and all of the character traits
that make him so special, Kaya' s questions never go unanswered, and his
searches always bring him to exciting new discoveries. As a student, Kaya is
outstanding. As an educator, I have watched him grow, seen his talents and
abilities not only in the classroom but outside its walls, when interacting
with all types of people, as well.
During his time at our institution, Kaya, who as I' m sure you know is an
excellent writer and publicist, also has done a good deal of work for the
yeshiva. This has included the text for many public relations brochures and
packets, letters to parents, potential donors, and alumni, and essentially any
correspondence which I have requested that he compose. The feedback is always
overwhelmingly positive, and he has done so much in that way for our yeshiva.
Even today, while he studies elsewhere, he continues to do a great deal of this
work for our institution, in addition to the recruiting and other services he
performs for the yeshiva.
Always, in his work, Kaya is consistent, dedicated and passionate,
enthusiastic, cheerful, and a pleasure to work with. He has incredible creative
energies and a refreshing idealism tempered only enough to accomplish what
needs to be done. I highly recommend him for any position of work, leadership,
education, or any other capacity in which he can spread his excitement and
share his talents with others. At our institution, we are expecting big things
from Kaya in the way of educational and communal leadership in the years to
come. And knowing Kaya, he will not disappoint, and probably will exceed our
expectations.
Thank you once again for the opportunity to recommend such a special and
impressive young man.
Sincerely Yours,
Steven Rudenstein
Dean, Yeshiva Lorentzen Chainani
