Israel Scholarship

Vivian Cohen has grown up in the Yeshivah of Flatbush community for the past 12 years of her life. Throughout these years she has enhanced her love for Torah, Missvot, and Israel through engaging in conversations, asking questions, and participating in extra classes and clubs. She has also found a deep passion for devoting her time to helping the vulnerable, whether that was through implementing new ideas in the Tzedakah Commission, coordinating student/teacher activities, or volunteering at the Special Children’s Center in the summer. In her free time, Vivian enjoys being in nature and creating art. She is looking forward to learning and respecting various opinions in a diverse environment, expanding her knowledge of Neviim and Ketuvim, connecting with the land of Israel, and reflecting upon the intrinsic values that the Torah and Judaism hold.

Born into a community oriented, traditional family, Kaden Harari is passionate about embracing Torah as a lifestyle and exploring daily life by applying the proper values acquired through deeming Torah studies not merely a subject. As the youngest of seven she was constantly exposed to new ideas and different perspectives, ultimately developing an earnest love of learning – from our beloved pizmonim to nuances of others’ personalities. Kaden graduated as salutatorian of Magen David Yeshivah Elementary and continued her education at Yeshivah of Flatbush High School where her thirst for both Judaic and secular knowledge and pursuit of her interests only grew alongside her fervent pride in her identity as Syrian, as a Zionist, and as a Jew.
