A program that rewards 770 bochurim for studying diligently has grown so much that the monthly tests now take place in two locations across Crown Heights, instead of the usual single location.
A program that rewards 770 bochurim for studying diligently has grown so much that the monthly tests now take place in two locations across Crown Heights, instead of the usual single location.
The program, created and run by the Igud Talmidei Hakvutzah organization, aims to encourage the learning of kvutzah bochurim in 770. Over the past two years, it has been distributing generous stipends to those who strictly keep seder and pass tests on the material they studied.
Earlier this week, bochurim took the third test on the study material of the month of Tevet. Following the successful tests, prizes totaling thousands of dollars were distributed for the months of Teves and Shevat.
“The results speak for themselves,” organizers said. “Our goal is that a bochur should be able to invest all his energy in studying the Torah without having to worry about his basic living needs.”
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 Gittin and Shavuos, 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.
כל הכבוד!! Poshet an incredible program, no words.
