A meeting was held this week among the bochurim learning in 770 Yeshiva, to prepare for the upcoming 120th birthday of the Rebbe, on Yud Alef Nissan this year.
At the informal meeting held in the upstairs Zal in 770, the bochurim gathered together and were all invited to share ideas of initiatives and hachlatos which they will collectively take on as a proper and befitting way to approach the momentous day.
Bochurim that spoke included Hirshel Marasow, Mendel Potash, Shneur Wilhelm, Menachem Cunin, Meir Lazarov, Shmuel Yosef Greenbaum, Mendel Braun, Meir Shlomo Zaltzman and Mendel Piekarski.
Following the event, a series of initiatives in the areas of learning Chassidus, specifically the Rebbe’s Torah, as well as Mivtzoim, were agreed upon and undertaken in connection with the auspicious day of Yud Alef Nissan, Shnas Meah V’esrim.
The main focus of the initiatives, they said, is that everyone who takes part considers this their own personal project and brings up more ideas, and spreads them amongst their friends.
Below is a full list of initiatives undertaken:
– 120 additional hours of learning the Rebbe’s Torah (an hour and a half a day)
– To unite in learning in Sugyos in Chassidus in the Rebbe’s Torah (either in or out of seder)
– Kovtzim with Marei Mekomos will be printed (edited by Mashpi’im)
– Shiurim with Mashpi’im will be held periodically
From time to time, one of the Temimim will speak on one of the topics being studied
A new Sugya will be studied every 2-3 weeks
– Joining the daily Rambam learning session at 2:30PM in the main Zal of 770
– Learning with a Chavrusa, as part of a group etc.
– To join in the Shiur in Inyonei Geulah Umashaich held each Tuesday in the “Tashkenter Shul”
– For all the Temimim to unite in learning Likkutei Sichos twice a week (after Seder Chassidus at night)
The Seder will take place each Monday and Wednesday (without refreshments or incentives)
Each Seder will be for an hour – or a total of 120 minutes a week
– Each Motzei Shabbos and on Yomei Depagra the Farbrengens of 5738 will be played in the basement of 760 Eastern Parkway
Yiddish printouts will be available, exact timing TBA
– To learn 12 Ma’amarim (each one ten times)
– There will be a separate meeting to discuss arranging 120 Mitzvah tanks
What about Project Likutei Sichos.
It incorporates most of the ideas.
