Photos: Students Compete in Chidon on Hilchos Tefillin

Halichos Olam is a program for seventh grade boys of Oholei Torah and United Lubavitch Yeshiva of Crown Street to encourage and guide them in the study of Hilichos Tefillin. Seventh grade is the year when most boys begin wearing Tefillin two months before their Bar Mitzvah. It was established by the Igud Menahalei Yeshivos of Crown Heights in the goal to expand the knowledge of Halacha and Yiras Shamayim of the talmidim of our community. The boys study Hilchos Tefillin from the sefer “Shvach Yokor” authored by Rabbi Shmuel Hurwitz.
