Today, the city of Tucson welcomed a group of shluchim to lead its yeshiva and further Jewish awareness in the local community. They bring with them a wealth of knowledge, excitement and a strong desire to spread the Rebbe’s message throughout the city. “I’m really looking to the upcoming year,” said Ephraim Zimmerman.

Shluchim Arrive In Tucson

Today, the city of Tucson welcomed a group of shluchim to lead its yeshiva and further Jewish awareness in the local community. They bring with them a wealth of knowledge, excitement and a strong desire to spread the Rebbe’s message throughout the city. “I’m really looking to the upcoming year,” said Ephraim Zimmerman.

Yeshiva High School of Tucson is about to begin its fourth year under the new leadership of Rosh Yeshiva Rabbi Tzali Wilschanski. The Yeshiva in Tucson is nestled in the heart of the city against a backdrop of sweeping mountains. Arizona’s clear skies and year-round sunshine creates an atmosphere that is conducive to learning, allowing students to earn a high school diploma in three years or less.

While the Yeshiva offers students the opportunity to advance academically and embrace chassidishkeit, learning extends beyond the classroom and includes mountain hiking, field trips, Shabbatons, farbrengens with local and guest shluchim, mivtzoim, and interaction with the local Jewish community. These enhancements are considered a crucial part of the curriculum and give the Yeshiva an “edge” over similar facilities.

Yeshiva High School of Tucson’s small class sizes are led by a team of experienced, dedicated shluchim. Rabbi Wilschanski guarantees no more than ten bachurim in a class to ensure that each student receives individual attention. His goal is to allow students to develop academically, spiritually, and emotionally while enjoying the best yeshiva experience possible.

In addition to their responsibilities to the yeshiva, the Shluchim will be available to study one-on-one with members of the community, providing them with an authentic Yeshiva experience otherwise novel in this growing city. For more information contact the Yeshiva at (520) 881-7956.

A limited number of spaces are still available. For additional information and/or a registration packet contact Rabbi Tzali Wilschanski (718) 730-4396 or Rabbi Yossi Shemtov (520) 975-4489.

    midvar sheker tirchak… if you cant fill up a class dont go around saying there will be no more then 10….to ensure….

    who are the "experienced" shluchim? a bunch of 20 year olds who just finished yeshiva themselves?

    why are we trying to fool parents, into sending their kids
    into yeshivas that their teachers have never taught before, with no hadracha ruchnis!!! these are young kids who need older truely experienced staff.
    these small high schools are poping from every corner, whos keeping an i on the chinuch?
    i was a shaliach in a certain yeshiva i wont mention, as soon as we landed they made us start teaching, we were a far cry from experienced melamdim although we tried very hard.
    these tayere kinder need people WITH TRAINING, YES WE SHOULD NOT BE EMBARRASSED TO GIVE TRAINING TO OUR MELAMDIM ITS NEEDED VERY MUCH.
    this is JUST LIKE ANY OTHER JOB you cant be an engineer without going to school for engineering or a lawyer without going to law school.
    why could you be 20 or 23 and be a melamed????
    if you sit and learn till your 40 thats hands on experience, but these bochrim and yungermanim are still in their diapers in learning.

  • answer Sefer HACHINUCH

    You probably misunderstood that part of the article. When it states that the classes will be led by the shluchim, it doesn’t refer to the Shluchim it means the Shliach Rabbi Willshansky. And it’s about time that someone in lubavitch stood up and started caring and giving personalized attention for those he don’t quite fit exactly into the system. So don’t just find any excuse to bash them, give them the compliment which they deserve.

  • al ti dag

  • former tucson shliach

    Make sure to farbreng with Yossie Shemtov. He is a very geshmaker shliach. I was one of the shluchim there and I got a lot by spending time with. He is fullof sichus and stories and has a lot to give if you push him to farbreng

    To a "VERY WORRIED PARENT"
    The problem isn’t the mesivtas/high schools; it’s the elementary schools…
    If these "special" Yeshivahs which are opening up all over, and are filling registrations then obviously the schools where which these kids are coming from, didn’t give them the proper chinuch etc.
    The karbonos are unfortunately too high.

    If you want to take action you’ll have to start from the bottom up
