Awards
Select bochurim will be chosen to say short Divrei Torah and Chaburos along our tour. Join your son/brother/friend as he says a chaburah in Yeshivas Volozhin, or a Dvar Torah from the Vilna Gaon at the Gaon's kever. These will be momentous events for each of the selected bochurim and their families. Additionally, these events will be filmed live, and viewed at the upcoming Yeshiva dinner this fall.
The names of these deserving bochurim will be publicized, and their parents will be notified within the next few weeks.
