Night Activity During Winter

This past Thursday night students of the Lubavitcher Yeshiva in Crown Heights have been paired up with zal bochrim for the third consecutive year of Mishmor.

The pairs learn a sicha together each Thursday night, followed by an exciting ‘camp style’ night activity.

In its first week, more than 80 students participated, each learning one on one with an older bochur, an opportunity a child does not usually get on any given day.

In a letter to parents, assistant principal Rabbi Shmuly Turk wrote: “I have not seen a child benefit from any program or event more than he does from Mishmor.”

Mishmor, the brain-child of the tmimim Zevy Gutleizer and Chida Levitansky, is now organized by the bochurim of Oholei Torah and Lubavitcher Yeshiva respectively.

The commitment of each and every bochur to the future of our community is what makes it the success that it is; giving up their supper break every Thursday night to learn with these younger students, Rabbi Turk said.
