This new initiative is being carried out under the guidance of the yeshiva’s Director, Chaim Tolochinsky, and another Chabad Lubavitch emissary serving at the yeshiva, Rabbi Shmuel Saminsky.
The boys will enjoy a real Chassidic farbrengen every Thursday, as well as participating in Shabbat ceremonies and Saturday studies at the yeshiva. Once a month, participants in the program will also attend lectures delivered by Rabbis Tolochinksky and Saminsky. Teachers will also hold 'chevruta' sessions, which entail reading Torah and commentaries in pairs. The young men will also study Talmud, Shulchan Aruch and other books on Chassidism.
The 'Tomchei Tmimim Chabad Lubavitch' Yeshiva is one of hundreds of institutions belonging to the Ohr Avner educational network spanning the former Soviet republics.
