Agudas Yisroel’s Colorado office is thrilled to announce the winners of the Pirchei NIBS program.
NIBS is a learning program that incentivizes boys in grades 3-8 to learn during their spare time and school vacation. Boys who participated last year logged their time spent learning and received points, which were exchanged for prizes.
Fourteen boys chose to spend their out-of-school time learning Mishnayos or Gemara, time they could have spent playing ball or enjoying their vacations. Their hasmadah awarded them the opportunity to choose from a variety of amazing prizes, such as scooters, sports equipment, games, toys, or a cash incentive.
Pirchei of Denver wishes a special yasher koach to the eight boys who learned 25 blatt of Gemara over just two weeks of vacation! Pirchei would also like to thank our generous donors, who made the NIBS program possible.
“NIBS sparks a genuine excitement for learning among the boys, creating an amazing and positive atmosphere and energy towards learning,” says Rabbi Yosef Melamed, Director of Pirchei Denver. “The boys deserve a lot of credit for taking the program seriously and coming together to encourage each other. Aside from the program itself, its participants brought a real sense of achdus and added hasmadah which ultimately resulted in a big kiddush Hashem.”
Congratulations to the winners of the NIBS program!
