This past Sunday, the Vaad Talmidei Hatmimim, in partnership with Mesivta of Coral Springs and Mesivta Lubavitch of Miami, organized a special Yom Hachana program in preparation for Gimmel Tammuz. Hosted at Chabad of Weston, the event brought together Bochurim from both Yeshivos for an evening of learning, inspiration, and achdus.

The program opened with a seder sichos, as Bochurim from both Yeshivos learned the Sicha of Yud-Beis Tammuz 5711 together. It was a beautiful sight to see Bochurim from different Yeshivos sitting side by side, learning, discussing, and preparing together for Gimmel Tammuz.

A highlight of the program was a lively crossfire featuring Rabbi Yossi Denburg, Shliach to Coral Springs and Dean of Lubavitch Hebrew Academy; Rabbi Chay Amar, Shliach to Golden Beach and well-known lecturer; and Rabbi Mendel Kaplan, Yeshiva Gedolah of Miami. The discussion was moderated by Rabbi Menachem Rappaport, Maggid Shiur and Rosh Yeshiva of Mesivta Lubavitch Miami.

Drawing from questions submitted by the Bochurim themselves, the panel addressed a wide range of topics relevant to today’s Bochur. Much of the discussion focused on Hiskashrus in our generation, practical avodah, and meaningful preparation for Gimmel Tammuz. The Bochurim were fully engaged throughout, listening attentively and taking part in the discussion.

Following the program, participants gathered for a grand banquet, which opened with Tehillim and a specially prepared video presentation. Rabbi Yisroel Spalter, Shliach to Weston and host of the event, delivered keynote remarks, encouraging the Bochurim to take the inspiration of the evening and translate it into meaningful action.

The energy in the room soon gave way to spirited and spontaneous dancing, as Bochurim from both Yeshivos joined together in a powerful display of achdus and simcha.

The evening concluded with a farbrengen led by Rabbi Yosef Raichik, Shliach of the Rebbe to Boynton Beach. Lasting late into the night, the farbrengen left a strong impression on the participants, who listened to heartfelt words of inspiration and guidance as they prepared for Gimmel Tammuz.

A special teshurah, published in honor of the event, was distributed to all participants.

Bochurim left uplifted and energized, carrying with them the inspiration of an evening that combined Torah, farbrengen, achdus, and meaningful preparation for the auspicious days ahead.
Special thank you to Rabbi Motti Schurdur, Rabbi Yosef Eizekovitch and Rabbi Moshe Denburg, Rabbi Yisroel Spalter, Meir Avtzon, and Zander Labkowski for making this beautiful event possible.
