The Rebbe Rashab told the Bochurim of Tomchei Temimim,
איינמאל א תמים, אלעמאל א תמים” – Once a Tomim, Forever a Tomim.”
If you were a Tomim then, you’re a Tomim now. Scroll through our picture archives below to find yourself, your father, your sons, and your friends!
The Lubavitcher Yeshiva Crown Street is doing a Charidy Campaign to raise $500,00 to help educate the next generation of Temimim.
Partner with us this Monday, and give the gift of chinuch that lasts forever! On Chof Cheshvan, the Rebbe Rashab’s birthday, support his yeshiva.
Song: Once A Tomim
My name is Hershel Bergenbach
I have one hundred einiklach
It’s many years since I was there
Yet I’m a Tomim now and here
We all studied in Yeshivas Tomchei Tmimim
I’m a baker, I’m a cook
I sell chummus at the shuk
I’m a Rebbi, I’m a Shliach
We all work to bring Moshiach
We all studied in Yeshivas Tomchei Tmimim
I remember the Farbrengen
Eingepakt with Chatche Feigen
We all ate the kasha back in Tomchei Tmimim
Aleph Beis Gimmel Daled Hei
With Rabbi Katzen, Pre-1A
We all live with what we learned in Tomchei Tmimim
Chorus:
Einmohl a Tomim
Alemohl a Tomim
Forever a Tomim I will be
The Rebbe hand picked me x2
I’m an Oived, I’m a cop
I work in the pizza shop
I’m a Shadchan, I’m a Badchan,
I shecht chicken, cows and oxen
We all studied in Yeshivas Tomchei Tmimim
Listen Tmimim, we are one
A Tomim’s work is never done
Whether a rabbi or a lawyer
We are Neiros Lehoir
We all studied in Yeshivas Tomchei Tmimim
I remember Reb Shloime Chaim
Chossid, Lamdan, Yerei Shomayim
Mayses from Reb Foleh Kahn in Tomchei Tmimim
Bedford and Dean and Shanghai
Varsha, Paris and Crown Heights
We all studied in Yeshivas Tomchei Tmimim
Chorus
Thank you , Rabbi Katzen, for teaching our sons AlefBeis in all aspects of Yidishkait and how to be a real chossid of the Rebbe . Parents of ULY .
I’m forever grateful to Rabbi Schwartz and Rabbi Katzen.
They’re the secret ingredient to the success of ULY…
I had a son in each of their classes. They know how to connect with children in such a special way that instills such a chayus in everything they teach!
Also thanks for the many years that this duo of tzaddikim ran the mesibas shabbos at 770. I remember the mesibas shabbos they ran in the small zal upstairs during the Rebbe’s farbrengens.
Omg hey Ben Gorodetsky you were so small!!!
I spy Mendy Schanowitz
first pre-1a class in that building
So proud of the amazing ULY Crown Street. You are so devoted to our children’s care and education. Thank you!
Something is so beautiful about this song! My kids were singing it all week. It’s nice to hear it here.
Those were the days when there were small classes…

Those were the days! Great memories! Great rebbaim! An a special principle Rabbi Fogelman a”h. He made all of us students feel unique and valued. There was Seder he balanced the love and discipline so well. We all felt cherished as students.
I was there in the oldest class the first year. Rabbi T – great teacher. Tiny class. Every year we went to a fresh room. Only one pic of our class with Rabbi Lerman 5th grade. #LigyonvShel Melech Hamoshiach.
The days Rabbi Fogelman o”h. There was law and order in the hallways 🙂
Wow – memories.
When there was individuality allowed – and miraculously many of us turned out just fine. Balabatish, chassidishe upstanding members of our community. Fathers of the next generation of chassidim – students of Tomchei Tmimim….and there was no ridiculous uniform of solid black shoes, button down shirts, etc starting in Pre-1A!! Clothes do not make a chossid. We went before the Rebbe, during rallies, dressed that way. If he had thought it wasn’t good enough, change would’ve been made back then.
Song is great, but Ocean Pkway should’ve been included.
