Israeli bochurim who are spending the year learning in 770 as part of ‘kvutzah’ were tested on the material they learned during the past month, with those who passed receiving financial incentives.
The test and incentives were part of the “Yissachar and Zevulun Project” launched by Iggud Talmidei Hakvutza at the start of this year. The project encourages them to make full use of their year in 770 by keeping seder and learning diligently while granting them stipends to cover the costs for their needs.
“This revolutionary project has already become a routine and integral part of the landscape in 770,” organizers said. “However, due to the situation in Eretz Yisroel, the bochurim have intensified their efforts and invested even more time and energy into their learning.”
Over 200 bochurim are part of 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.
At the conclusion of each month, the bochurim are tested, and those who receive high marks are granted a generous stipend, prominently distributed in 770.
