Pirkei Avos Project Culminates with Grand Chidon at Oholei Torah

The talmidim of Oholei Torah celebrated the culmination of months of dedication and achievement with the annual Pirkei Avos Chidon, the grand finale of a school wide learning initiative that inspired hundreds of talmidim to strengthen their knowledge of Pirkei Avos and the teachings of Chazal.

Throughout the weeks between Pesach and Shavuos, talmidim across the Cheder and Mechina divisions participated in the Pirkei Avos program, learning each week’s perek together with selected Maamarei Chazal Baal Peh and reviewing the material regularly. The boys were tested throughout the program, challenging them not only to understand the Mishnayos but also to master key teachings by heart.

Following the completion of the weekly tests, talmidim who achieved an average score of 80% or higher qualified for a comprehensive final examination covering all of the material learned throughout the program. Those who met the qualifying standards were recognized for their accomplishments and received prizes in honor of their dedication and hard work.

The highest scoring talmidim from each grade advanced to the live Chidon, where they demonstrated an impressive mastery of the material before their peers, Rebbeim, and family members. Contestants answered challenging questions on both the Mishnayos and the Maamarei Chazal they had learned over the course of the project.

Addressing the participants, Rabbi Mendel Levin praised the talmidim for their commitment to Torah learning and highlighted the importance of setting goals and striving for excellence in Limud HaTorah.

The Yeshiva extends its appreciation to the Rebbeim, organizers, and families whose encouragement and support helped make the program such a success.
