Event Prays for Injured Soldier

While it is true to say that all Chassidim world-wide have their own unique way of celebrating the Rosh Hashanah of Chassidus, the bochurim of YNS took it to a new level this year.

Together with parents, friends and community members, the bochurim sat to farbreng for 8-hour straight.

Rosh Yeshiva Rabbi Yaacov Orimland told over the story of Yud-Tes Kislev in great detail followed by the Ma’amer nigun. Podah B’sholom was then said over in English by Yehudah Lipkind, Shneur Zalman Franklin, and Yonah Engle.

After a few words of inspiration and encouragement by the Shluchim, they once again began the Ma’amer nigun, however, this time Podah B’sholom was said over in Hebrew by Mendy Chaimson, Shai Nodel, Zalman Schwartz, and Simcha Teich.

Being that Chof Kislev was the day the Tanya was printed, a few bochurim took upon themselves to review pieces of Tanya. Shimon Feldman and Ashi Andrusier finished off the Tanya, with Mendy Chaimson beginning the cycle once again.

A big yasher koach to the Talmidim hashluchim: Shmuly Raskin, Yaakov Yehuda Polter, Yitzchok Abend, Menachem Habib, Chaim Guarie, Yisroel Binstock and Mendy Krinsky for putting together such a beautiful mivtza as a preparation for Yud-Tes Kislev.

Among other prizes awarded to the participants, a $100 Apple gift card was won by Avremele Lichtenstien, as well as a Windows Tablet by Shai Nodel.

The farbrengen ended at 4 in the morning after many hachlotos were made in the zechus for a refuah shelaimah for Zev ben Kochavah, the Israeli soldier that was critically injured in the bus accident in Israel, whose brother is one of the students at the yeshiva.
