Girls Complete Sichos Project

The students of Bais Rivkah high school in Crown Heights marked Yud Shvat with great excitement, after an entire month of learning sichos as a preparation.

The girls joined with other Lubavitch girls high schools LGHS Chicago, Bais Chomesh Toronto, Bnos Menachem and Achos Online, along with individual girls from London, Pittsburgh and other schools, in a joint effort to learn the entire Lekutei Sichos of the Rebbe before Yud Shvat.

Through a special website listing all the sichos to track the program’s progress, the schools checked off which sichos they planned to learn, and when each sicha was completed they marked it done.

When Yud Shvat finally arrived, the students gathered for a full day program of inspiration and learning to really bring home what the day is all about.

The program began with the entire student body davening as one, along with a recording of the Rebbe davening.

It continued with an uplifting lecture by Rabbi Sholom Paltiel, Shliach in Port Washington, NY.

Then, each class was treated to a special workshop on what it means to be a chossid of the Nasi Hador, given by seniors of Beis Rivkah.

After writing panim, the students enjoyed a delicious lunch in honor of the special day. Each wall of the lunchroom was decorated to bring out different aspects of Yud Shvat. One wall in particular was adorned with pictures of every girl who participated in the hachana by joining in the global initiative to complete the Likkutei Sichos.

As the students all sang nigunim together, the room was permeated with the power of five hundred girls b’achdus.
