Thousands of bochurim from Yeshivas around the world gathered for the 18th annual international Kinus Hatmimim on Yud Shvat at Rosa Hall in Beis Rivka in Crown Heights on Wednesday.
The program went through the Farbrengen of Yud Shevat 5733, which yeshivos around the world learned in preparation for Yud Shevat. Each topic of the Farbrengen was addressed by a Mashpia who explained the Sicha and its relevance to each Bochur.
The Mashpi’im include: Rabbi Leibel Schapiro, Rabbi Amram Farkash, Rabbi Chanoch Bistritzky and Rabbi Zalman Gopin.
During the program, a special video tribute to Rabbi Yoel Kahn was played. A highlight was a video presentation from JEM featuring new footage of scenes from the Purim 5747 Farbrengen and of New York Governor Averell Harriman‘s Yechidus with the Rebbe in the 1950’s. Presented with special thanks to Machne Yisrael.
At the end of the Kinus a global initiative in all the yeshivos in preparation for Yud Alef Nissan – 120 years was announced.
The Kinus Hatmimim is sponsored by Reb Yossi Kazarnovsky L’iluy Nishmas his parents Reb Moshe and Golda Liba A”H; and by Reb Yoseph Yitzchak Popack L’iluy Nishmas his parents Reb Shmuel Aizik and Miriam A”H.

Let’s go Rabbi B!
He really spoke to the bachurim in a language they could understand. He’s speaking the language of dor hashvii post gimmel tammuz. And he’s not even 30. We are lucky that we have someone like R’ Bistritsky in charge of a yeshivah (this praise also includes R’ Einstien and R’ Winner)
