Starting Tonight: Yeshivas Erev – After School Learning

Every weeknight over 350 boys from grades 5-8 get together in three different locations throughout the community for an hour of learning.

The boys spend their time reviewing the Gemara and Rashi inside, doing their homework with the help of our devoted Madrichim, as well as learning Mishnayos, Gemara and Tanya by heart. There is also a Shiur every night in a Sicha of the Rebbe, Halacha, Chassidishe story etc. The program ends with a Minyan for Ma’ariv, davening at the pace of the boys.
