Thanks to the tremendous talent and efforts of Rabbi Dov Fried, our 7th and 8th grade students have been "learning up a storm" this year. In addition to the serious learning that takes place in all of their classrooms, guided by their dedicated Rebbeim, Rabbi Dov Eisenberger, Rabbi Jacob Rosenfeld and Rabbi Tuvia Fried, thanks to the initiative of Rabbi Dov Fried, so many of our Talmidim were involved in so many "extra" Torah Lishmah Torah learning opportunities. Before morning Tefilah you could find groups of students, together with Rabbi Dov Fried and in their own small Chaburot, learning Mishnayot. During breakfast, large numbers of Talmidim learned Gemara Masechot Makot with Rabbi Dov Fried. This desire to increase their learning opportunities often spilled over into their homes and even on weekends and on vacations. To celebrate this wonderful accomplishment on the part of our students, there was a special Siyum HaGadol this week. The Talmidim began the program with 15 minutes of uninterrupted Gemara learning which filled the YHT Beit Midrash with the Kol Torah. After opening remarks and Divrei Bracha from Rabbi Menchel, we were privileged to hear inspiring Divrei Chizuk from Rabbi Shmuel Marcus, the Rabbi of the Young Israel of Queens Valley and a Maggid Shiur at Lander's College. The program ended with spirited dancing and singing and a Carlos and Gabby's Seudat Mitzvah. Special thanks to Rabbi Silverman, Mr. Fox and Mr. Strazynski for all of their help and guidance in making this event so special and meaningful.
Thank you to all our sponsors:
