Naftuli Moster is a graduate of a Belzer Hasidic yeshiva in Brooklyn who discovered that the secular instruction he received left him woefully unprepared to pursue higher education. Nonetheless, Mr. Moster earned a BA in Psychology and an MSW from Hunter College and went on to found Yaffed (Young Advocates for Fair Education), the only group in the US advocating for the educational rights of Hasidic and of ultra-Orthodox children. He will be speaking about the tens of thousands of Hasidic boys still being deprived of a basic secular education, the consequences for the Hasidic community, and the significance for broader New York Jewry.
