Chof Cheshvan in Lubavitcher Yeshiva

In honor of Chof Cheshvan, the birthday of the Rebbe Rashab and the founder of Tomchei Temimim, fathers of the Mechina L’Mesivta talmidim joined their sons for a special evening of learning in the Shul of Tomchei Temimim.

Following the Rebbe’s hora’ah that on Chof Cheshvan every chossid should enter a Tomchei Temimim to learn, daven, and give tzedakah, parents came together with their children to learn in Tomchei Temimim exactly as the Rebbe requested.

The program was arranged and led by the Menahel of the Mechina L’Mesivta division, Rabbi Mendel Scharf, who opened the evening by explaining the importance of this special day and how we, as chassidim, are fulfilling the Rebbe’s hora’ah.

The evening concluded with a chassidishe farbrengen led by Rabbi Shmuel Wagner, who spoke about what it means to be a Tomim. He explained that a Tomim must see his life as something fundamentally different, a life and mission that are anything but ordinary. Tomim understands that his neshama was sent into this world to reveal Elokus, to make Hashem real in his own life and in the world around him.
Being a Tomim means learning with emes, davening with kavana, and working on his hiskashrus to the Rebbe.

It was a beautiful display of Chassidishe chinuch, and a fulfillment of the Rebbe’s hora’ah.
