Oholei Torah Mesivta’s Annual Chidon Tanya Showcases Bochurim’s Mastery of Tanya
Oholei Torah Mesivta gathered together to watch the annual Chidon Tanya, the culmination of months of learning, review, and preparation by participating bochurim.
From Yud Tes Kislev through Shavuos, the Shluchim organized and ran Mivtza Tanya, an initiative designed to encourage bochurim to learn, review, and gain a thorough understanding of the ג”ן פרקים of Tanya. Throughout the mivtza, bochurim dedicated themselves to mastering the material and were tested regularly on both their knowledge and comprehension.
Following multiple rounds of testing, the highest scoring bochurim earned the opportunity to participate in the live Chidon on the entire ג”ן פרקים of Tanya. In front of the entire Yeshivah, the finalists demonstrated an impressive command of the material as they competed through three challenging rounds of questions.
The Chidon was judged by Rabbi Zalman Laufer, Rabbi Yisroel Noach Lipskier, and Rabbi Chananya Wechter, who carefully evaluated the contestants throughout the competition.
After the final round and much deliberation by the judges, the winners were announced:
First Place: Shmuel Dovid Morozov (Shiur Aleph)
Second Place: Moshe Sasonkin (Shiur Gimmel)
Third Place: Yossel Lipskier (Shiur Aleph)
The winners were awarded beautiful sets of seforim in recognition of their outstanding achievement. In addition, all bochurim who participated in Mivtza Tanya and the Chidon received prizes acknowledging their dedication and commitment to learning Tanya throughout the year.
Special recognition is due to Hatomim Hashliach Levi Drukman and Hatomim Hashliach Zelig Greisman, who organized and ran Mivtza Tanya and the Chidon. Through their tireless efforts, countless hours of preparation, and unwavering dedication, they ensured the program’s success from beginning to end.
The Chidon served as a fitting culmination to months of learning and review, highlighting the Yeshivah’s commitment to fostering a deep understanding of Chassidus and inspiring bochurim to excel in their לימוד התורה.
