Rambam honors its masmidim

More than 45 Rambam talmidim learn Torah at least an extra two and a half hours each week after school and during lunch to be part of the Rambam Mesivta Masmidim Program … however, the reality is that while that is the minimum requirement, most of the talmidim learn even more.

To recognize and celebrate the learning and the talmidim, the masmidim and their parents were invited to an evening of divrei Torah and delicious food at Hapina.The night was MC’d by one of the architects of the program, Assistant Principal Hillel Goldman, who thanked not only the talmidim for learning, but for parents who made this possible through the carpooling and their inspiration. Night learning rabbeim, Rabbi Yaacov Weisenberg and Rabbi Yitzy Werblowsky, shared words of chizuk and Torah, highlighting the centrality of learning in Judaism and appreciating that it is a beautiful thing to see people come together to celebrate Torah. Rabbi Avi Haar, one of the heads of masmidim, also spoke about how meaningful the learning was and how important it is that it should continue.

The rabbeim, Rabbi Yosef Ziskind, Rabbi Jonathan Muskat, Rabbi Ari Boiangiu and of course, Rabbi Haar, were also lauded for being available to learn with the talmidim Monday through Thursday during lunch.

It was a night of singing, divrei Torah, and a chevra created around a common bond of appreciation and love of learning that exemplifies the Rambam Mesivta’s commitment to Torah, Midos and Excellence.
