It’s Midnight. Do You Know Where the Bochurim Are?

Every parent knows the question: It’s late. Do you know where your child is? During Tishrei, for more than 1,500 Bochurim far from their families and Yeshivos, it becomes a question for the entire community.

During Tishrei, for more than 1,500 Bochurim far from their families and Yeshivos, it becomes a question for the entire community.

They come to Crown Heights with excitement and good intentions, hoping to daven in 770, go to the Ohel, Farbreng and return to Yeshiva with new chayus.

But we all know what can happen when Bochurim arrive without a clear plan or anyone keeping track. Crown Heights is busy, crowded and full of distractions. Without structure, their time can easily be pulled in all directions.

That is not a criticism of the Bochurim. Many are young, far from their families and outside the regular framework of Yeshiva. Someone needs to take achrayus.

Providing a bed and a meal is important, but it is not the whole answer. A Bochur also needs a schedule, clear structure and people who know he is there.

That is what the Vaad Hatmimim provides.
The Vaad knows who is registered, where each Bochur is staying and whether he is participating. Staff supervise organized Sedorim, distribute specially prepared Kovtzei Limud, arrange accommodations and meals, coordinate buses to the Ohel and bring in Mashpiim for Shiurim and Farbrengens.

The Bochurim are coming to Crown Heights either way. The question is whether they are left to navigate Tishrei on their own or enter a responsible, organized framework.

That structure helps the Bochurim use their time well, gives parents and Hanhalos peace of mind, and eases the strain on 770 and the surrounding community.

That is what it means to stand behind a Bochur: not only to provide for him, but to take responsibility for him.

So, it’s midnight. Do you know where the Bochurim are?

With the Vaad behind them, there is an answer: They are not on their own. They are part of a program. Someone knows they are here. Someone cares. Someone is taking achrayus.

Help the Vaad stand behind every Bochur this Tishrei.
