The Bais Hamedrash on Crown Street and Albany Avenue was swarming with over 150 boys Thursday evening ready to receive their long awaited “sefarim vouchers” that they earned this past year attending Yeshivas Erev Yehuda Kalman.
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.
Rabbi Shimon Aharon Rosenfeld addressed the gathering. He spoke of the value of time and how Rabbi Marlow, after whom Yeshivas Erev is named, was the true example of a Talmid Chacham who treasured every minute. Incidentally, the event took place on the 20th of Sivan, the Yahrtzeit of our past Mara Dasra.
Rabbi Sorkin then thanked all of the Mashgichim and older Bochurim for their great devotion to the boys that made this year such a special one.
The evening concluded with Rabbi Levi Borenstein, the senior Rebbe in the Yeshivas Erev, awarding each of the boys that attended the Yeshivas Erev with a “sefarim voucher” to be cashed in at Merkos. The amount each boy received was based on his attendance and accomplishments during the past year.
Yeshivas Erev will continue through the summer in the Agudah Shul on Crown Street.
