Yeshiva of South Shore Motzai Shabbos Learning Program joined the initiative, “Just One Thing”. This is a program that motivates boys to accept upon themselves one kabbalah through which they will bring a zechus to their “partner soldier” in Eretz Yisrael. Additionally, this past week, YOSS recognized over 25 boys for coming to learn first thing after Shabbos 10 out of 11 weeks at its highly successful Motzai Shabbos Learning Program. Each awardee received a choice of one of four beautiful, framed photographs of the Gadol Hador, Rav Chaim Kanievsky, ZT”L. All of these master photos were taken by Reb Tzemach Glenn, famed photographer of Gedolim throughout the years.
This year’s program season is about half over. Many many more winners are expected over the remaining 9 weeks of the program. There are over 250 boys that come to learn with their fathers each Motzei Shabbos at Yeshiva of South Shore and its satellites in the community including the Shteeble, the Island Shul, and Shaarei Emunah.
We often have special guest Rabbanim who grace our event. A couple of months back we had the privilege of having Rav Zev Leff, shlita address us. Last year we hosted the Chief Rabbi of Eretz Yisrael, shlita and Rabbi Paysach Krohn, shlita, among others. On special occasions we have entertainment too. This past Chanukah the boys were regaled by the magnificent magic and comedy of magician and mentalist, Chaim Syltig. And then there’s the tasty nosh given to everyone at each event graciously sponsored by Gourmet Glatt. But the boys and fathers keep coming back week after week, mostly because of the positive energy and ruach haTorah. Yasher Koach to them all!
