Dear Shvilei Hatorah family,

The final week for the boys at the Yeshiva was a perfect end to a spectacular year. The week began with preparation for Shavuot. After resting up a little on Sunday, the boys spent the entire night learning with their Rabbeim at tikun leil Shavuot, hiked to the Kotel and davened vatikin there.

On Shavuot day, the boys returned to the Yeshiva, relaxed and had a Yom Tov shiur with Rav Norman.

After some final formal shiurim, the boys and the staff prepared for the end of year mesiba. The gala took place at Zion Hagadol Restaurant. Many divrei Torah were shared and year–end gifts were given. A wonderful time was had by all!

The year ended, appropriately, where it started – at the Kotel. After davening Mincha, the entire Yeshiva family celebrated with dance and song. It was a moving and very sprirtual experience.

The boys returned to the Yeshiva , packed their bags, said their very emotional goodbyes and began the process of returning to their homes in the States.

This very special class of boys will be sorely missed. As we prepare to welcome the next class of talmidim, we know that this great group of boys that composed the Shvilei class of 2007 – 2008 will bring much nachat to their parents, families, communities , klal Yisrael and to their “Shvilei Hatorah family”.

We wish everyone a summer filled with joy , happiness and peace for us and for all of klal Yisrael.

We will see you again in September!
