The Hanachos program has been launched for its third year in 15 Mesivtas across America, where the Bochurim prepare themselves for Gimmel Tammuz by watching videos of the Rebbe’s Farbrgngens and writing a Hanacha on the Sicha.
The program is built in a way where a Bochur which hasn’t yet watched a full Farbrengen or a long video of the Rebbe beforehand, will – at the end of the five week program – be able to focus on watching a full Farbrengen of the Rebbe and understand what the Rebbe is saying.
The program is divided into two Levels, the First Level will start with a 5 minute long video, The videos will increase each week with an additional 5 minutes, culminating the final week with 30 minutes. The second Level starts with a 10 minute long video, where the videos increase each week with an additional 7 minutes, culminating the final week with 45 minutes.
Each one of the Sichos shown, delves into another fundamental Hashkafa in the learning of Rambam. The program concludes by Gimmel Tammuz in time for this year’s Siyum Harambam.
The Hanachos are marked and each Bochur who passes all Hanachos will receive an automatic prize: the first level receives $50 in Kehos. the second level receives $100 in Kehos. The final top three Bochurim with the highest mark will each be awarded with all 100+ Seforim printed of Toras Menachem.
Head Shliach of Thailand Rabbi Yosef Chaim Kantor shares with the Bochurim in a promo video: “I wish I was trained in how to listen to the Rebbe’s Farbrengens in a way that I would be able to get all the information and follow the train of thought and the build-up the Rebbe was making.”
Hanachos is a project of the Vaad Hatmimim in partnership with JEM, directed by Rabbi Tzvi Hirsh Altein along with Mendel Banon, Zelig Shemtov and Mendel Azimov, the Shluchim in all 15 participating Yeshivas and the JEM team led by Rabbi Elkanah Shmotkin and Mendel Gourarie. Many parents and Hanhola members have expressed their thanks and gratitude for having this program where the Bochurim are involved in Farbrengens of the Rebbe while building a skill to put the Sicha down in their own words.
