DEDICATION The goal of our institution has been, and always will be, to instill in its student body a thirst for truth, knowledge, and enlightenment, a love for the spir- itual and moral ideals of Judaism, and a devotion to the concept of human decency. Most essential for the realization of the afore- mentioned, is the dedication exhibited by our rabbis, instructors, and administrators, the small body of individuals entrusted with the ultimate executive powers and duties regarding the functioning of Yeshiva University High School. Rabbi David L. Weinbach, former assistant regis- trar and present administrator of Y.U.H.S., has zeal- ously endeavored to guide those young men who have entered our institution to a high level of intellectual achievement and aesthetic sensitivity. To him it is vital that Yeshiva produce young future leaders of the jewish community, concerned with the perplex- ing and crucial matters facing society today, dedicated to the ideals of the Almighty's eternal Torah, and willing and able to assume the responsibilities of mature adults. Humble, but commanding a deep respect, keenly forceful, yet understanding, Rabbi Weinbach admires those who strive to meet the challenge of a strenuous advanced program without lowering their standards. Indeed, his philosophy is truly manifest in his fer- vent desire to provide a challenge and a satisfaction for all students at Yeshiva University High School.
