Learning and Pizza in Manchester

Local Manchester (UK) boys enjoyed pizza Sunday night as the winter learning program came to an exciting end. Boys aged eight to fourteen learned one on one with a bochur from the Yeshiva every Sunday night since Yud Shevat.

This is the first time that such a program took place in Manchester. The idea was born one Thursday night as Manchester Bochurim in the yeshiva were contemplating on the lack of interaction between the kids in the community and the bochurim. Slowly the idea began to form with just 5 kids the first week until it grew to an average of twenty boys each week. Every Sunday they come to be infused with a love for Torah, Chassidus, and the Rebbe. They learn for forty minutes, with a large array of subjects, ranging from a sicha on the week’s sedra to Gemara and Mishnayos.

This Sunday the boys celebrated the end of the winter zman with a pizza party which was accompanied by a story that left them spellbound and was full of laughter. The party was followed by the usual forty minutes of learning and finished off with a grand raffle, in which prizes, including MP4 players and seforim were won by the lucky boys.

Each boy that attended every week received a pushka with his name on it as a special memento, personally handed out by the Mashpia of the yeshiva, Rabbi Yitzchok Klyne.

A picture of the Rebbe with “al hamichya” on the back was handed out to each boy that came this week. A wonderful time was had by all, and the boys are eagerly awaiting the start of a new zman.
