21 Bochurim Win Books

In the weeks leading to Gimmel Tammuz, bochurim in Lubavitcher Yeshivos were seen spending their every spare moment in extra study provided by the Vaad Hatmimim organization.

Over 2500 pages of Tanya was learned by heart in memory of Nosson Deitsch OBM. The Mivtza was sponsored by friends of Nosson and Congregation Bais Shmuel Chabad in Crown Heights.

“We wanted to do something that was special to Nosson,” says Mendy Laine,” so we teamed up with the Vaad Hatmimim, and launched a Mivtza Tanya Baal Peh, and the bochurim really took to it.”

“Bochurim were glued to their Tanyas,” says Levi Freedman, a Shliach in Moscow.

Zalman Shimon Shpringer from Moscow Mesivta topped all bochurim, learning 47 new pages of Tanya Baal Peh within the month.

Winners of Mivtza Farbrengen

The bochurim were also engrossed in the new Farbrengen recently released by JEM and the Vaad Hatmimim, sponsored by the Lapidus family.

The bochurim studied and watched the Farbrengen and were tested on its content. “This allows the bochurim to experience a Farbrengen like it was by the Rebbe,” says Shmuel Reinitz of the Vaad.

Prizes were given to bochurim for their efforts, $10 dollars per amud of Tanya for all new Tanya learnt by heart. There were numerous raffles for those that participated in the Farbrengen im HaRebbe.

Sets of Sefer Hamamorim Melukat were raffled off, as well as the larger sets of Hisvaaduyos and Yalkut Moshiach Ugeula between the participating bochurim.

The sets of Hisvaaduyos were sponsored by the Lapidus family of Argentina, and the Yalkut Moshiach Ugeula by an anonymous donor.
