Yeshiva programs and facilities face growth and expansion

Yeshiva Halikut program Likkutei Sichos Torah learning religious education

The Halikut program, a flagship initiative for Bochurim learning the Rebbe’s Torah, has entered its ninth year. Organized by Vaad Hatmimim, the program aims to help students master entire sections of Likkutei Sichos. This year, participants are focused on mastering Chelek Lamed through a structured schedule of learning, testing, and review.

In Elad, Yeshivas Knesses Yechezkel is addressing overcrowding caused by a significant increase in student enrollment and delays in new construction. To accommodate the growing number of talmidim, the yeshiva’s rabbinic staff has vacated their own personal rooms. Rosh Yeshiva Rav Boruch Mordechai Ettinger expressed appreciation for the students' dedication during this period, noting that the administration expects new facilities to arrive in the coming weeks.
