The special “Yissachar and Zevulun” project, organized by Igud Talmidei HaKvutza, concludes another month of serious and meaningful study. The bochurim invested in their learning with diligence and perseverance, demonstrating seriousness and responsibility throughout the entire period.

In recognition of their efforts and impressive dedication, the bochurim were awarded stipends as financial assistance and appreciation for their hard work in learning.

Hundreds of bochurim were tested across the five study tracks, earning special stipends with a combined value of tens of thousands of dollars – in cash. The timing of the distribution gave the bochurim a real opportunity to prepare for Pesach with financial ease and peace of mind.

Unlike many yeshivas around the world that have already begun their bein hazmanim break in the month of Nissan, the yeshiva schedule in 770 continues with full seriousness almost until Pesach. The bochurim study with diligence and perseverance, with the monthly “Yissachar and Zevulun” booklets taking center stage on their shtenders. A special enthusiasm is evident in the eyes of the learners – the high pace of study and the accumulated material covered since the beginning of the year are showing their impact.

After all the study and extensive effort comes the summary phase: a challenging exam, followed by the stipend distribution ceremony held in 770. Each of the bochurim walked away with a respectable check in recognition of his toil in Torah and hasmada.

There is no doubt that such a framework makes learning throughout the year more accessible and focused, allowing every tomim to immerse himself in the study of nigleh and Chassidus with a clear mind, free from material concerns.

At this juncture, the bochurim express deep gratitude to the dear donors – the “Zevuluns” – in whose merit the project continues to operate beautifully, enabling its continued momentum.

About the Yissachar – Zevulun Program

The goal of all the learning tracks is to allow each bochur to devote his full time and energy exclusively to Torah study, utilizing every moment of his time in the Central Tomchei Temimim Yeshiva at 770 – without needing to worry about any material matters.

How does it work? Five serious study tracks with year-long goals have been established. Each bochur chooses one track and learns it throughout the month with yishuv hadaas and diligence. At the end of each month, an exam is held, and at the beginning of the following month, every student who passes receives a respectable monetary scholarship – up to $170 – in recognition of his learning. The program is accompanied by a professional team of meshivim, along with well-edited review booklets that make the material accessible to every bochur.

Track One – Chassidus: Focuses on the Hemshech Samech Vov (5666), so that over the course of the year the bochurim complete all the maamarim in the hemshech in order.

Track Two – Halacha: Dedicated to practical halacha, with the entire chelek alef of Shulchan Aruch HaRav learned and reviewed.

Track Three – Hilchos Shabbos: Concentrates on chelek beis of Shulchan Aruch HaRav, ensuring that by year’s end the bochurim emerge with a comprehensive understanding of the halachos of Shabbos in practical halacha.

Track Four – Geula and Moshiach: Focused on geula and Moshiach studies, covering the relevant Likkutei Sichos on geula and Moshiach, arranged by topic.

Track Five – Girsa: The girsa track, with a steady pace of one page a day, so that, with b’ezras Hashem, by the end of the year the entire masechta Bava Kamma together with masechta Makkos will be completed.

The program continues to gain momentum, and Igud Talmidei HaKvutza is already looking ahead to the coming months – anticipating a continued impressive increase in investment and learning.
