Excitement and nachas emanated from parents and grandparents at Pirchei Agudas Yisroel’s Annual Shas Awards Presentation, this Sunday, June 19th, at Agudas Yisroel Beis Binyomin. Pirchei bochurim nationwide received a peninim shas as an award for being mesayem Shishah Sidrei Mishnah lichvod habar mitzvah as their proud grandparents, parents and siblings looked on. For most of the mesayemim this journey began 4-5 years ago when they signed up for the Pirchei’s Kesser Mishnayos program.
With the encouragement of their parents and the National office of Pirchei, the boys made their way through the various perakim and masechtos and sedorim, being tested and earning prizes along the way. At their bar mitzvah they were mesayem Shisha Sidrei Mishnah. Pirchei Agudas Yisroel recognizes their accomplishment.
Rabbi Dovid Gibber, Rav, Agudas Yisroel of Ave. H, Flatbush, was mechazek the bochurim by telling them that they can grow in Torah no matter how smart they are. Rabbi Chaim Dovid Zwiebel, Executive Vice President, Agudas Yisroel of America, explained to the boys that now that they are Bar Mitzvah their learning is even more chashuv, being that they are a metzuveh v’oseh. Rabbi Ephraim Levi, National Director, Pirchei Agudas Yisroel of America, gave a special presentation honoring Mrs. Rachel Salem, long time Pirchei secretary, for her devotion to all Pirchei activities. The program ended with fathers and grandfathers dancing with the mesayemim.
