and Elana Ostreicher
GUESTS OF HONOR
Shia and Elana Ostreicher tru-
ly exemplify the ideals of Yeshiva
Darchei Torah. Their dedication to
creating a home where limud haTorah
is paramount, as well as their sincerity
and uncompromising ehrlichkeit, is a
proud legacy they carry from their il-
lustrious parents.
Shia is a native of Borough Park,
where his parents, Rabbi and Mrs.
Chaim and Chava Ostreicher, survi-
vors of pre-war Europe, raised him
with old-world values. He attended
Yeshivas Novominsk, then Yeshiva
Torah Vodaath and Touro College.
Today, he is the chief financial offi-
cer at Read Property Group, a real-
estate development company, but his
passion and first priority is
limud haTorah. He is also a
dedicated community activ-
ist, giving back to his com-
munity in so many ways; he
lends his time and talents to
assist many organizations,
including the Emergency
Parnassah Initiative and the Loan
Gemach, and is an active board mem-
ber of Be’er Hagolah and Kesher
Sarah.
His devoted wife, Elana, grew
up in Kew Gardens, where her par-
ents, Rabbi and Mrs. Moshe, a”h,
and tbl”c, Miriam Dembitzer, simi-
larly raised her with rock-solid ide-
als. Her father, a distinguished talmid
chacham, inspired her with his love
of learning, and she and her husband
have built their home upon the same
Torah foundation that she experi-
enced in her parents’ home. Elana at-
tended Yeshiva of Brooklyn and then
continued on to BYA Seminary and
Touro College. Today, she is a dedi-
cated wife and mother and a ba’alas
chesed in her own right, who seeks to
quietly and efficiently assist others in
a myriad of ways.
The Ostreichers are the proud
parents of Malka, a graduate of TAG,
who is currently completing her BA
during her second year in Me’ohr
Seminary; Moshe Tzvi, a tenth grader
in Mesivta Chaim Shlomo; and Efraim

PICTUR
Dov, a seventh grader in Yeshiva
Darchei Torah. They gratefully ac-
knowledge the impact Rav Yaakov
Bender has had on their sons – and
indeed – on the entire community and
stand in awe of the way he has revolu-
tionized chinuch in our time.
As veteran parents of Yeshiva
Darchei Torah talmidim, they recog-
nize that the Yeshiva is so much more
than a school – it is a family. In their
own words: “When you enter its envi-
rons, you truly feel as if you are com-
ing home. And somehow, although
it is a large mosad, it is still a warm,
homey, comfortable place for all who
are privileged to be part of it.” They
have also seen how the staff truly ful-
fills the dictum of “chanoch l’na’ar al
pi darko,” an especially impressive
feat for a school that is growing so
rapidly.
Yeshiva Darchei Torah is proud
to partner with Mr. and Mrs. Shia
Ostreicher in passing on their beauti-
ful mesorah and Torah ideals to their
children. We are honored to recognize
this exceptional couple as this year’s
Guests of Honor.
