Rabbi Nachmen Shapiro, senior Mashpia of Oholei Torah and proud granfather, led the Rebbe’s Kappitel, followed by words of inspiration from Rabbi Menachem Mendel HaKohen Hendel, the Menahel Kloli of Ohr Menachem. He concluded with an emotional Birkas Kohanim, and announced a special gift of three coins from the Rebbe were dedicated by Rabbi Zalman Chanin to encourage future cazzara of the 12 perokim to be raffled off at the “Chagigas Hasiyum”.
Rabbi Menachem Mendel Yusewitz, the Menahel, praised the program’s impact on the entire cheder, highlighting the students’ sharpened minds and increased bekius. He thanked the teachers and personally congratulated each student by name. Kita Vov Talmidim – ‘Ohr Menachem Kapeliya’ choir sang “Hachayeinu Keil,” authored by the Frierdiker Rebbe, adding to the evening’s beauty being between Gimmel and 12-13 Tammuz.

Rabbi Getzel Rubashkin represented the parents, expressing gratitude for the program’s transformative impact on their homes. Rabbi Levi Belinov, of Kita Hey Ohr Menachem, representing all the teachers praised the program and the joy of beginning each day with the words of Tanya Baal Peh.
