Lubavitcher Yeshiva celebrated the graduation of its 8th grade talmidim this past week. The event marked a significant milestone for the bochurim as they concluded this foundational stage in their chinuch and prepared to enter the next chapter.
The graduation opened with a meaningful message from Rabbi Mendel Scharf, Menahel of Kitos Zayin and Ches, addressing the idea of a siyum not as an endpoint, but as a stepping stone to greater achievements ahead.
Rabbi Yosef Simpson, Menahel, addressed the graduates and highlighted how each talmid can internalize their learning and unwavering commitment to Torah and the Rebbe’s hora’os.
A highlight of the evening was the divrei Torah delivered by three talmidim, each representing one of the graduating classes. Their words reflected the depth of their learning and their personal connection to what they have learned. One of the talmidim made a Siyum on Mesechta Makos, the masechta the grade focused on during the year. Remarkably, the majority of the 8th grade successfully completed and were tested on the entire Mesechta—a true testament to their hard work and the dedication of their rebbeim.
Each graduate was presented with a diploma, symbolizing their achievements, along with a special gift: The Mashpia, a sefer detailing the inspiring life of Rabbi Greenglass. This meaningful memento not only honors their accomplishments but also encourages them to continue striving toward deeper connection with Chassidus and the path of a chossid.
The graduation was not only a celebration of past achievements but a launchpad for the future. With strong foundations in Torah and Chassidus, the graduates of TOmchei Temimim are well-prepared to continue their journey as bochurim, proudly carrying the values instilled in them into the next stage of their lives. Einmal a Tomim Alemal a tomim!
“Mazal tov to the entire graduating class, their families, and their devoted teachers. May they go mei’chayil el chayil in all their endeavors,” the Yeshiva said.
Go Rabbi sandhaus!!!!!!! Best Menahel ever!
