Chovevei Holds Day of Learning

The bochurim of Mesivta and Beis Medrash Chovevei Torah prepared for Shavuos with a full-day Yarchei Kallah.

Together with members of Crown Heights Anash, they spent an entire Sunday immersed in Torah, listening to fascinating shiurim on various topics related to Matan Torah and the sugyos they are learning in yeshiva.

With a generous spread of bakery goods and drinks, the morning session began with Rabbi Yossi Paltiel, Mashpia of the yeshiva. The next Shiur was given by Rabbi Mendel Blau, the Menahel of the Beis Medrash, followed by Rabbi Zushe Winner, Rosh Yeshiva of the Beis Medrash.

The guest speaker was Rabbi Avrohom Hertz, Rosh Yeshiva in Oholei Torah. He delivered a Shiur on Matan Torah in light of the Rebbe’s teachings. The morning session ended with Rabbi Shmuel Kuperman, Maggid Shiur in Mesivta.

The afternoon session was a series of classes given by Talmidim of the yeshiva, including Hatmimim Binyomin Lerner, Yitzchok Frankfurter, Yossi Katzman and Mendel Gralnik. With well-documented shiurim, the bochurim explained the origin and the various customs of Shavuos.

One community member, who has regularly attended the Yarchei Kallah in the past, noted that he was pleasantly surprised to witness the tremendous growth of the Beis Medrash, both begashmiyus, seeing the newly-renovated zal, and beruchniyus, seeing the large crowd of fine, chassidishe bochurim.

The event was organized by Rabbi Mendel Blau and Rabbi Menachem Minsky.
