Aaron Roller, previous editor of Mima’amakim, an intercollegiate Jewish poetry journal, with whom the Jewish Art Salon has collaborated on several projects, founded the Yeshiva High School Poetry Slam.
“I know that kids interested in the arts are frequently in the

Rambam Mesivta, his alma mater, Roller organized a test slam at Rambam

Weiss, a Frisch graduate and former co-editor of “Mima’amakim,” serve
as judges.
