Yeshivas Erev Participants Rewarded

The Lubavitcher Yeshiva Simcha Hall on Crown and Albany in Crown Heights was swarming with hundreds of boys this past Thursday evening, 3rd of Sivan. The Yeshivas Erev of Crown Heights held an event to honor and to gift all the participants throughout the year • Full story, Photos

Rabbi Z. Sorkin, the dynamic coordinator of Yeshivas Erev, opened up the grand finale with words of praise for all of the boys that devoted every evening of the week to further themselves in Limud Hatorah – some reviewing their Gemara, others joining the Mishnas Gavriel Project, still others doing their homework and some learning Mishnayos and Tanya Bal Peh.

An amazing “kitzur” project was launched in our Yeshivas Erev in memory of Rabbi Y. K. Marlow.Every evening after completing their homework the boys learned together 14 simanim in “kitzur” not covered in their regular school curriculum. After completing each siman they would answer questions and then be tested. All boys receiving 100 % received a cash award of $25 while those receiving 80% or above were given $18.

The following boys were the top winners of the “Kitzur Project”:

מענדל אדעליסט, בלינצקי מענדל, ברבר נוסי, ברוכשטאט אריה, העכט אלימלך, הענדל צמח, זוקערמאן מענדל, טויבער ברוך, טענענבוים ישראל, כהן מאטי, לאנדא מענדל, לוי מענדל, ליפסקער שניאור זלמן, מארקעל מ”מ, מלול אבי, סאריטשעוו שלום, ספיווואק צמח, פוקס שלום, פייערשטיין שמחה, צוויבל מענדל, קדנר דובי, קפלן שראגא, שמוקלער פסח, שפירא נתן.

When Rabbi Kalman Weinfeld addressed the boys they were mesmerized by his description of how valuable their Torah learning really is.

Rabbi Sorkin then thanked all of the Mashgichim and older Bochurim for their great devotion to the boys that made this year such an outstanding one. He presented each of them with a beautiful gift as a token of appreciation.

The evening was also the climax of the Birchas Hanehenin project of 5776 where the boys reviewed the proper Brochos for over 500 foods based on thesakim of Rabbi Yehuda Kalman Marlow OBM.

The following boys were the top winners of the Birchas Hanehenin Competition: Menachem Mendel Adelist, Meir Avtzon, Levi Bruchstat, Meir Friedman, Sholom DovBer Fuchs, Shalom Dov Ber Gootblatt, M”M Gootblatt, Yosef Yitzchok Karasik, Meir Levy, Mendel Lewis, Nachman Mathless, M”M Mathless, Moishy Nelken, Pesach Chaim Newman, Menachem Mendel Rosen, Avrohom Shapiro, M”M Shurpin, Dovid Shurpin, Tzvi Spielman, M”M Teichman, Yaakov Yisroel Tenenbaum, Shmuel Vilenkin and Menachem Mendel Wallach.

They were each rewarded with a set of Seforim.

Finally the evening was concluded with presenting to each of the boys that attended the Yeshivas Erev with a “sefarim voucher” to be cashed in at Kehot. The amount each boy received was based on his attendance and accomplishments during the past year.

Yeshivas Erev will continue iy”h this summer in the Agudah Shul on Crown Street in the evening from 7:00 to 8:00 P M. Beginning on Tuesday 29 Sivan,

A special thanks to all of our supporters who share in the great Mitzvah of Talmud Torah of our children.
