In honor of Purim, close to 100 talmidim of Tomchei Temimim participated in a dynamic learning program centered on the Rebbe’s Sichos.

For the program, nine Sichos of the Rebbe were selected and carefully adapted to make them clear and engaging  for the talmidim. Each Sicha was broken down into four simple parts: the question the Sicha addresses, the central idea, the Rebbe’s answer, and the practical lesson for everyday life.

The talmidim learnt each of the Sichos and prepared a short summary in their own words, so  the ideas were truly understood.

There was an exciting Mega Jeopardy Game Show, where the talmidim reviewed the Sichos through a lively and interactive competition. Talmidim answered questions based on the material they had learned, demonstrating impressive knowledge as they discussed the Rebbe’s sichos. The talmidim took a written test, followed by two rounds of semi finals in order to narrow down the contestants, and then 20 talmidim made it to be the finalists for the exciting game show.

The event was led by Rabbi Bonnardel, who organized the mivtza and served as the host of the game show. Rabbi Aron, Rabbi Simpson, and Rabbi Teleshevsky served as judges, helping guide the competition and encourage the participants.

One of the talmidim even reviewed and shared several of the Sichos on Shabbos at a college campus, bringing the Rebbe’s sichos to an entirely new audience.

Combining learning with creativity and excitement, the Purim Sichos Mega Jeopardy program showed how the Rebbe’s Sichos can be studied, understood, and shared by young talmidim. It was an experience that inspired them to continue growing in their learning and spreading the Rebbe’s Torah wherever they go.

In honor of the birthday of Rebbetzin Chaya Mushka, and the anniversary of the Rebbe starting Mivtza Yom Holedes, the younger grades of Tomchei Temimim held a special celebration.

The program also recognized the boys who have birthdays during the summer, making sure every talmid gets his moment to be celebrated.

As always, the event began with Torah, Tefillah, and Tzedakah. Rabbi Kuty Goldstein shared a beautiful story that kept the boys excited and inspired. And in the spirit of Adar, the celebration ended with lively music and dancing, filling the room with real simcha

In preparation for Yud Shvat, Tomchei Temimim was filled with excitement as talmidim of all ages took part in learning and activities that strengthened their hiskashrus to the Rebbe.

Kita Gimmel visited JEM, where the talmidim learned about the unique power of seeing videos of the Rebbe, watching farbrengens, and hearing the Rebbe’s voice delivering sichos and maamorim. The Talmidim heard how JEM began and how, through tremendous dedication, the JEM team continues to share the Rebbe’s Torah. The experience left the talmidim excited, and filled with pride in their connection to the Rebbe.

Throughout the month leading up to Yud Shvat, classes participated in an interactive curriculum focused on the meaning of Yud Shvat, the concept of hiskashrus, and our shlichus as Dor Hashvi’i. During this time, a special mivtza encouraged talmidim to focus on Tzivos Hashem missions and meaningful hachlatos, helping them translate their learning into action. Talmidim also learned lines of Bosi Legani ba’al peh and proudly collected a custom-made set of Bosi Legani collectible cards.

The week of Yud Shvat itself was filled with powerful and uplifting experiences. The week began with the writing of פ”נים to the Rebbe and visiting the Ohel. The week concluded with an interactive game as talmidim worked together in teams to locate hidden cards containing excerpts from Bosi Legani, testing the students on the information they have been learning for weeks. 

The Preschool celebrated Yud Shvat in a creative way. Morah Malkie Brashevitzky designed a beautiful Pesukim Fair, where the children explored lessons from the first six of the Twelve Pesukim through hands-on activities. At each station, the boys engaged in interactive experiences that brought the pesukim to life, discovering the secrets of Torah through scratch-off art, dancing and freezing in place to find Hashem everywhere, filling a garden with edible flowers representing their mitzvos, exploring sensory depictions of Yetzias Mitzrayim from golus to geulah, building a life-size mitzvah puzzle using all parts of the body, and watching the Rebbe teach how to overcome the Yetzer Hara.

The day concluded with warm and uplifting classroom farbrengens, bringing together all the learning and inspiration from the past weeks of Bosi L’gani. The inspiration of the day of Yud Shvat should continue to strengthen the hiskashrus of the talmidim to the Rebbe throughout the year.
