Yeshiva Tiferes Moshe’s fifth grade boys spent the beginning of the year preparing for their Gemara mesibah, including studying the background of Gemara and Torah SheB’al Peh.
On Sunday morning, November 10, the fifth-grade boys and their families joined with their rebbeim and menahalim to celebrate the initiation of the boys into the yam haTalmud. Following Rabbi Don Pacht, menahel, welcoming the families and talmidim, Rabbi Yaacov Bergman, Rav at Beis Medrash of Kew Gardens Hills, delivered an inspiring shiur. Rabbi Bergman wished the boys, their parents, and the rebbeim much hatzlachah as they continue their career in learning.
Then, Rabbi Pacht called up each boy and, together with his rebbi and Rabbi Bergman, was presented with his very first gemara. The talmidim, rebbeim, and their families jointly celebrated this milestone with dancing, a kumsitz, and beautiful, delicious refreshments. The achdus and heartfelt feelings exhibited by the talmidim was a highlight of the day.
