Vaad Hatmimim launched a new learning program for Chabad bochurim to commemorate 60 years since the publishing of the Rebbe‘s teachings in the monumental series of Likutei Sichos.
The program titled “Halikut” encourages bochurim to take upon themselves to study a full volume of Likutei Sichos and know it well and by-heart.
“We call on all tmimim to participate in the Halikut campaign,” read a public letter to bochurim that was signed by Rabbi Yoel Kahn, Chief Choizer of the Rebbe’s Torah.
Signing the letter were also Rabbi Yisroel Friedman, Rosh Yeshiva of Oholei Torah Zal in Crown Heights; Rabbi Shlomo Zarchi, Mashpia of Yeshivas Tomchei Tmimim Lubavitch – 770; Rabbi Leibel Altein, Director of Heichal Menachem center.
Signing from the participating Yeshivos were Rabbi Ezra Schochet, Rabbi Leibel Schapiro, Rabbi Akiva Wagner, Rabbi Leima Wilhelm, Rabbi Moshe Slavatitzky, Rabbi Amram Farkash, Rabbi Zusha Wilhelm, Rabbi Yosef Leib Vechter, Rabbi Yosef Gurevitch and Rabbi Yosef Rivkin.
The “Halikut” team has prepared booklets with translation on uncommon Yiddish words and explanations when needed on selected Sichos.
Major prizes and the program details will be presented to the Bochurim of the participating Yeshivas by the Talmidi HaShluchim. The program will culminate with a grand test in New York.
Participating Mesivtas (Shiur Gimmel) are Chicago, Toronto, New Haven, Oholei Torah and Los Angeles. Participating Zals are Baltimore, Morristown, Los Angeles, Toronto and Miami.
Wow! So nice.
Keep giving the Bochurim Chayus!
Can a regular person join??
When I learn I Sicha I have to waste 30 min or a hour on the web to find a shiur on that specific sicha, yes we have Rabbi Shapiro on Chabad.org but it can be orginzed like daft Yomi app that on each sicha you can choose a Magid Shiur fir that specific sicha . I am more than happy to give a large contribution for such a site. Any Leeds? Thank you!!!
