New ‘Shluchim’ Add Chayus

As the New Year begins, bochurim in the Oholei Torah Beis Medrash quickly realized a new addition has been instituted in the yeshiva. A group of seven dedicated and outstanding bochurim have been chosen to act as “eltereh bochurim” to the bochurim in the Beis Medrash.

Under the guidance of Menahel and Senior Mashpia of Chassidus, Rabbi Nachman Schapiro, together with Rabbi Zalman Vilenkin, Assistant Menahel for Chassidus, the Talmidim HaShluchim have already made a positive impact on the general atmosphere in the yeshiva and the learning both during and after of seder.

During the seudas shabbos, seder niggunim and farbrengens on special days, the Shluchim have devoted themselves to bring a stronger chassidishe feeling, and strengthen the bochurim in their learning and darchei hachassidus. Future plans are being made for the Shluchim to make programs and learning groups connected with special dates in the Chabad calendar, as well as encourage the talmidim to take full advantage of being in the Rebbe’s shechuna.

Special emphasis is given to the younger bochurim in shiur aleph, as they adjust to the years of Beis Medrash.

On 15th of Elul a major farbrengen was held in their honor, when each shliach spoke and shared their d’ivrei torah and sipurei chassidim.

Rabbi Kivi Metal, the dormitory administrator, welcomes the shluchim, and was instrumental in bring these bochurim to Oholei Torah.

Rabbi Joseph Rosenfeld, Executive Director and Rabbi Sholom Rosenfeld, Director expressed their heartfelt wishes and said this is a true reflection on the words of the Rebbe, how we must grow from strength to strength, continuously improving and bringing in fresh ideas and strategies to help each and every bochur reach his greatest potential.

The new Shluchim are Nosson Fellig, Nissin Zibell, Mendy Marlow, Shmuel Napartstek, Yossi Rodal, Issur Kluwgant and Mendel Polter.
