Thousands of Chassidim spent an uplifting Shabbos at the Rebbe’s Ohel in preparation for the auspicious day of Yud Alef Nissan, the Rebbe’s 121st birthday, which began on Moztzei Shabbos.
Chassidim and bochurim from around the world joined for a Shabbos filled with Davening, learning and Farbrengens.
Nearly 1,000 bochurim joined a special Shabbos program in preparation for Yud-Alef Nissan at the Rebbe’s Ohel, arranged by the Vaad Hatmimim organization, announced a few short weeks ago at the Live Kinus Hakhel for Chabad Yeshivos.
Vaad Hatmimim hosted over 500 Bochurim for the Unity Shabbos, taking care of all the physical and spiritual needs of any Bochur who wished to spend an uplifting Shabbos with their classmates and Mashpi’im.
Some of the jam-packed programming from Friday afternoon through Sunday included Shiurim in Chassidus and Nigleh and Chassidishe Farbrengens delivered by notable Maggidei Shiurim and Mahpi’im and split by grades to ensure more of an effective and pleasant experience for Bochurim on every level.
Mashpi’im and Shluchim Rabbis Chaim Shaul Brook, Yisroel Deren, Yosef Klyne, Shmaya Shmotkin, Mendel Scharf, Leima Wilhelm, and Moshe Wolberg, all participated.
In the spirit of Hakhel, many joint learning sessions and Kinusim took place over Shabbos. This is all in addition to the excellent sleeping accommodations in close proximity to the Ohel and around-the-clock Farbeisin and meals graciously provided for the Bochurim.
Talmidim Hashluchim have reported that Bochurim were eagerly anticipating an exciting Hakhel-spirited Shabbos spent in the Rebbe’s presence following weeks of preparation for this most joyous day.
The following Yeshivos joined the program: 770, Arizona, Baltimore, Beit Shemesh, Chicago, Coral Springs, Detroit, LA – Mesivta, LA – Zal, Monsey – Mesivta, Morristown, New Haven – Mesivta, Nyack, Oholei Torah – Zal, Toronto – Mesivta, and Tzfas – Mesivta.
