By COLlive Staff

The eighth grade classes of Oholei Torah celebrated their graduation ceremony Sunday, with their proud families in attendance.

Rabbi Sholom Goldstein, Principal of the Mechina division of Oholei Torah greeted the many parents as they entered the Gutnick Ballroom in anticipation for the graduation ceremonies of the close to 80 students.

During the ceremony, greetings were given by Rabbi Hershel Lustig, Dean of the Elementary Division. Other speakers included Dovie Naparstek spoke on behalf of the talmidim, Rabbi Y.Y. Blesofsky, shliach in Queens spoke on behalf of the parents and Rabbi Borenstein spoke representing the Maggidei Shiurim.

Diplomas were distributed to the talmidim, and special awards given to those who traveled from far to join the ranks of a talmid in Oholei Torah. 8th grade student Benzion Duchman said the Rebbe’s kapital in Tehillim.

The ceremony also served as a culmination for the past years’ many activities and programs. These include a shabbos minyan, Tmimim trips and programs and the successful OTEG programs led by Rabbi Yossi Bryski, all of which serve to encourage the talmudim to learn, daven and grow in darchei hachasidus in a most positive manner.
