A new program aimed at encouraging learning among kvutzah bochurim in 770, has distributed generous stipends to those who strictly keep seder and pass tests on the material they studied.
The program is organized by Igud Talmidei Hakvutzah, the organization that created the quarantine campus for the students arriving from Eretz Yisroel back in Elul.
“This project is revolutionary and the first of its kind,” organizers said. “Baruch Hashem, there is a wide participation among the kvutzah and you can really feel the difference the project makes when walking into 770 during any seder.”
Last week, bochurim took the fourth test on the study material of the month of Shevat. Following the successful tests, on the night of Rosh Chodesh Adar, prizes totaling thousands of dollars were distributed for the month of Shevat.
“The results speak for themselves,” an organizer told Anash.org. “Our goal is that a Bochur invests all his energy in studying the Torah without having to worry about the basic living needs on his own.”
Over 200 bochurim have joined the program, which has tracks for the study of Gemara, Halacha and Chassidus. The goal is that all those participating will have completed the entire Bava Metziah, the first volume of the Alter Rebbe’s Shulchan Aruch, and the Rebbe Rashab’s hemshech of Samach Vov by the end of the year.
