Major Upgrades and Exciting Additions Announced for YKP Summer 5786

Oholei Torah’s renowned YKP Summer Program is preparing for another unforgettable summer of growth, excitement, and Chassidishe atmosphere, with extensive upgrades and improvements underway across the campus. While YKP was created primarily for bochurim of Oholei Torah, the program also welcomes select bochurim from a wide range of yeshivos each year, creating a vibrant atmosphere of achdus, growth, and camaraderie. 

With tremendous anticipation building for the upcoming season, major renovations are being completed throughout the grounds to enhance the experience for every bochur. The 8th Grade Zal is currently receiving a complete facelift and will welcome talmidim with a fresh, beautiful new look for the summer. In addition, the Mesivta and Beis Medrash divisions are undergoing significant upgrades, including brand new bathrooms, a new coffee station, and a newly designed hat, jacket, and tefillin room.

The program is also expanding its already impressive lineup of activities and attractions. New on site additions include Laser Tag, Dune Buggies, bikes and an Outdoor Gym, joining the packed schedule of trips, activities, learning, and nightly programming that have made YKP a highlight of the summer for hundreds of bochurim.

YKP places a strong emphasis on growth in learning and ruchniyus, with engaging shiurim, meaningful farbrengens, uplifting davening, and a warm Chassidishe atmosphere designed to help each bochur thrive throughout the summer. 

The Mechina division will be led by Menahel Rabbi Meyer Fischer. The division’s staff includes Rabbi Osher Broh and Rabbi Yosef Gerlitzky, together with head staff members Yisroel Schapiro, Mendel Rivkin, and Yosef Volfman.

The Mesivta division will feature Menahel Rabbi Moshe Silman and Sgan Menahel Rabbi Zalman Laufer. The division’s staff includes Rabbi Nissim Lagziel, Rabbi Michy Marasow, and Rabbi Zalmy Gurary, together with head staff Mendel Hamburger and Zelig Greisman.

The Beis Medrash division will be led by Menahel Rabbi Yossi Rubashkin, together with Rabbi Lipman Heller, and Rabbi Motti Herz.

The medical department will once again be overseen by Rabbi Sholly Weiser, while the kitchen will be led by Rabbi Yitzchok Klein.

All divisions operate under the leadership of Rabbi Mendel Blau Rosh Moised of Oholei Torah, with the program directed by Rabbi Yisroel Levertov together with Reb Meir Heber.

Additional construction and improvements are still in the works בעז”ה as preparations continue for what promises to be an incredible summer.
