Hailing from the Bronx, Yoni Vega crossed the river and joined OZ in 2016. He and his wife Karyn - a California native, are the proud parents of Nava & Oshri. When he's not on-call as an Emergency Room Doctor, Yoni answered the call to serve as OZ President. He is so excited to embark on this amazing journey with this community, and looks forward to growing together!

HASHKAMA - RABBI BLANCHARD'S BLURB
The meaning in our lives involves the ties that bind us to those we love and care for. These ties create important obligations and responsibilities. They also provide some of our greatest satisfactions as we teach, learn from and influence each other.
But we are also individuals who lead our own lives. Sometimes we have to separate or even to distance ourselves from those we love. We grow up and move out. We move on to another job. Or there just isn't enough space or resources for everyone. No matter how close we are, there are always some moments of leave taking and separation. Even when unavoidable, these are some of the most difficult and painful moments in life.
So we ask: When we do have to separate, what is it of value that we taking with us? What of our own are we leaving with them? What will last and what will be forgotten or disappear as if it never happened?
