Yeshivas Erev Grand Finale

The hall of Lubavitcher Yeshiva on Crown Street was swarming with hundreds of boys Thursday evening ready to receive their long awaited “sefarim vouchers” that they earned this past year attending Yeshivas Erev Yehuda Kalman in Crown Heights.

Rabbi Zusy Sorkin, the dynamic coordinator of Yeshivas Erev, opened up the grand finale with words of praise for all of the boys that devoted every evening of the week to further themselves in Limud Hatorah – some reviewing their gemara, others joining the new Mishnas Gavriel Project, still others doing their homework and some learning Mishnayos and Tanya Bal Peh.

When Rabbi Yossi Raskin of Oholei Menachem addressed the boys they were mesmerized by his description of how valuable their Torah learning really is.

Rabbi Sorkin then thanked all of the Mashgichim and older Bochurim for their great devotion to the boys that made this year such an outstanding one. He presented each of them with a beautiful gift as a token of appreciation.

The evening was also the climax of the Brochos Project of 5770 where the boys reviewed all of the brochos in the Brochos Guide from Rabbi Yehuda Kalman Marlow OBM.

The following boys were the top winners of the year: Mendel Abelski, Yosef Osdoba, Mendy Baron, Gedalya Bluming, Yossi Brickman, Dovid Geisinsky, Yehuda Dick, Dovid Hertzel, Yisroel Wilhelm, Mendel Chein, Moshe Cohen, Hershel Morozov, M. M Sorkin, Mordechai Zirkind, Sholom Kalmanson and Schneur Shochet.

They were each rewarded with a set of sefarim.

Finally the evening was concluded with presenting to each of the boys that attended the Yeshivas Erev with a “sefarim voucher” to be cashed in at Kehot. The amount each boy received was based on his attendance and accomplishments during the past year.

Yeshivas Erev will continue this summer in the Agudah Shul on Crown Street in the evening from 7:00 P.M.
