Yeshivas Kayitz of South Africa!

Written by a Staff Member!

We would like to start off by thanking the Rebbe for giving us an inspirational summer and lifetime experience.

This past summer was a smashing success in the Yeshivas Kayitz of South Africa.
Based out of Johannesburg, 36 Bochurim had the time of their lives under the guidance of the Hanoholas Hayeshiva, along with a great and devoted staff.

The Bochurim spent 7 weeks learning, and touring Southern Africa. There were those that completed Mesechtas Brochos, while others finished Mesechtas Tomid, and many completed Sefer Ha’Maimorim Melukat Gimmal. In spite of all of this learning, they still managed to tour a vast amount, including a Shabbos in Durban and Cape Town, visiting Kruger, Umhlanga, Plett, the garden route and much much more. Beyond for the many trips, those bochrim who excelled in shmeras hasedorim were rewarded weekly with a special trip.

There were a few presentations in Yeshiva, including Shchita, Beis Hamikdosh, Hatzoloh, Hypnosis … On top of that, there were excellently organized leagues. Friday’s the Bochurim went out on Mivtzoyim and were very successful B”H.

Due to the fact that camp had 3 wonderful maids to cook, clean, set beds, wash, fold, and iron your laundry, the Bochurim didn’t have to worry about their Gashmius at all. There was also an updated website for all of the parents to view pictures of their kids throughout the summer, to view go to www.yksa5766.blogspot.com.

There was a lot of personal attention for each Talmid from the extensive staff. There were many personal Farbrengen’s in yeshiva and at different houses throughout the entire summer.

The staff consisted of: Hanholoh: Rabbi Wagner, Rabbi Kesselman, Rabbi Reitport Staff: Chaim Schnieder, Moshe Benshimon, Yarden Blumstein, Dovid Russ, Pini Pink Shluchim: Avi Gniwisch, Baruch Akerman

May we have the ultimate reunion, with the Rebbe, now!

( P.S. Shabbos V’eschanan there was an auction for the alliyos. It grew quite intense by the 5th alliya going for 9 chalokim of Likutie Sichos, 2 Sifrie Milukat, Mesechtas Brochos, and Hachlotos in Rambam. Good luck to the bochur who committed to learn this, you’re an inspiration to us all.)
