A Likutei Sichos shiur in Yiddish which takes place weekly at Aliyah Youth Center in Crown Heights is celebrating the completion of its second year.
The shiur first began on Zoom, and now meets every Monday at the Aliyah Center. A hot dinner is served, and all partake in reading a portion in Yiddish and translating it to English.
Yossi, a weekly attendee, says that “I was one of those who learned Yiddish when I was young, but I forgot it. This helped me to pick it back up again… and understand what I’m reading. It even helps me hearing it. It’s a nice atmosphere, more people are coming, and it’s a great place to be.”
These are young men who learned Yiddish in Yeshiva, and some of their families spoke Yiddish. This is a great way to reacquaint themselves with Yiddish, while learning the precious, life-inspiring sichos of the Rebbe.
A farbrengen follows every shiur, where participants sit around and talk, sing and interact with each other.
These days, a special emphasis of the shiur is being placed on preparing for Yud Alef Nissan, which is 30 days away.
This is one of the many program initiatives of the Aliya Institute, helping our youth in Crown Heights.
