Mesivta Menachem of Amherst (Buffalo) makes Hachonos, farbrengs with Reb Shalom, travels to the Rebbe for Yud Shvat

Hachonos for Yud Shvat began in earnest “Shloishim Yom L’fnei HaChag” with the Shluchim launching a new Mivtza titled “Who Are We.” The Mivtza had the Bachurim learning extensively, researching various Chassidishe topics, answering question sheets, and memorizing essays, all culminating in weekly tests. (The success was so great the Mivtza has been extended until Purim!)

A few days before Yud Shvat, the Bachurim participated in a farbrengen with renowned Mashpia, Reb Shalom Charitonow. Reb Shalom shared some beautiful stories of the Rebbe, delivered intrinsic insights into the Ma’mar Basi L’Gani, and offered words of inspiration.

At last, the Mesivta chartered a bus to bring the Bachurim to the Rebbe for Yud Shavt. There, they Davened with the Rebbe’s Minyanim, listened to the Ma’mar Basi L’Gani and joined in the Yud Shvat farbrengens.

On the return trip to Buffalo, the bus stopped at the Ohel, where the Bachurim wrote “Panim” beseeching the Rebbe for the Geula Shlaima.
