Tomchei Temimim-Chovevei Torah Takes Meaningful and Fun Vacation

The Bochurim of Tomchei Temimim – Chovevei Torah enjoyed a four day luxurious vacation, enriched with a variety of fascinating classes by world renowned Rabonim, along with engaging activities and trips.

A leap year has the advantage of a longer stretch of learning, yet it comes along with a challenge for the Talmidim to stay motivated for six consecutive months.

This has created a dilemma, on one hand, breaking up the long Zman with a short vacation is helpful in keeping the Bochurim fresh and engaged. On the other hand, sending them home for more than a weekend has proven to be counterproductive for most Bochurim.

The Hanhala at Tomchei Temimim – Chovevei Torah has therefore decided to arrange with the help of the Talmidei Hashluchim a meaningful, productive and fun vacation for the Bochurim. One that will be refreshing yet keep the Talmidim in a Yeshiva mode and strengthen the Achdus in the Yeshiva.
