The 8th grade boys graduating class from the Nigri Shluchim Online School gathered together in New York to celebrate their graduation with an exciting trip and in person ceremony.
The virtual school of the Shluchim Office provides a robust Chassidishe education for the sons and daughters of Chabad Shluchim throughout the world.
Traveling in from around the world, the Talmidim were so excited to celebrate the incredible milestone of graduating online school after years of learning together.
The program started with a Shabbaton full of fun, inspiration and connection led by Rabbi Schneur Deren, Shluchim Online School Program Director with teachers Yossi Spalter, Berel Danow, and Mottel Greisman. The long awaited graduation trip was packed with trips including the American Dream Mall and iPlay America and visiting the Ohel and Farbrenging together.
“After such an inspiring trip, the students were thrilled to finally join their in person graduation ceremony,” said Rabbi Yehoshua Steinberg, Shluchim Online School boys principal. “It was so special to celebrate these Talmidim who have grown into true Temimim and Chassidim.”
Culminating this impactful experience, the graduation ceremony hosted an overflowing crowd of proud parents, close relatives and friends. Many of the students shared Divrei Torah and words of Hakaras Hatov to the staff before receiving their diploma.
“Shluchim Online School has been a lifeline for me and all my friends,” said Mendel Schmukler from Corpus Christi, Texas. “It’s given us an opportunity to make friends and learn together with boys who share the same experience living on Shlichus!”
Special thanks to Rabbi Mayer Kosofsky for arranging and organizing the graduation ceremony as well as school administration Sorole Vogel and Altie Kaminetzky, and the entire Shluchim Office team for their help and support.
The Nigri International Shluchim Online School is a division of the Shluchim Office directed by Rabbi Gedalya & Bassie Shemtov.
