Students Enjoy Taste of Yeshiva

The 4th annual Miami Torah Experience directed by Rabbi Immanuel Storfer, took place in North Miami Beach, Florida Dec 26-Jan 3, 2013 with over twenty five participants from various Universities in North America and South America.

This year, students were awarded tuition discounts and travel stipends thanks to a grant from The Chabad on Campus Miami Torah Scholarship sponsored by the Rohr family in loving memory of R’ Shmuel (Sami) ben Yehoshua Eliyahu Rohr A”H.

The program offered a hands on opportunity to explore classical texts chavrusa style in Chassidus, Talmud and Chumash which was the first opportunity for many of the the participants to explore the depth of Judaism.

Students were treated to wonderful classes from noted scholars such as Rabbis Manis Friedman, Yisroel Geisinsky, Avraham Korf, Sholom Ber Lipskar, Yosef Marlow, Leibel Schapiro, Yossy Gordon and Shlomo Yaffe and also had plenty of time to participate in fun exiting recreational activities such as kayaking, jet skiing, beach volley ball, bowling, snorkeling and everglading in the Florida alligator swamps.

All of the participants left the program on a high and full of enthusiasm, and many have vowed to return to spend time full time in yeshiva at a later time in their lives after being exposed to such interesting ideas and concepts.

The Miami Torah Experience is a joint project of Chabad Lubavitch of Florida and the Chabad on Campus International Foundation.
