by COLlive Editor · COLliveLubavitcher Yeshiva is preparing to open its new Mesivta this coming Shnas Halimudim, welcoming its first Shiur Aleph with over 40 bochurim, experienced Hanhalah and Mechanchim, and a dedicated group of Talmidei HaShluchim.
The new Mesivta will be housed at Lubavitcher Yeshiva’s Ocean Parkway campus, a building with deep roots in the history of Tomchei Temimim in America. Originally built after the Yeshiva outgrew its Bedford and Dean location, the Ocean Parkway building served for many years as the home of the Mesivta,and Beis Medresh educating generations of Lubavitcher bochurim.
Now, with the launch of the new Mesivta, the building will once again be home to bochurim learning and growing in the atmosphere of Tomchei Temimim.
In preparation for the opening, Lubavitcher Yeshiva has made a substantial financial investment into renovations and upgrades. The dormitory has been fully reconstructed, the mikvah has been renovated and expanded, and the Zal has been prepared to welcome the new Mesivta.
The Mesivta will be led by Rabbi Mendel Scharf, He will be joined by a dedicated team of Mechanchim, including Rabbi Shmuel Wagner, Rabbi Mayer Rodal, Rabbi Shmueli Matusof, Rabbi Boruch Dahan, and Rabbi Moshe Javen, each of whom has spent years guiding bochurim through these formative yeshiva years.
While the Mesivta originally anticipated opening with one Shiur Aleph class, strong interest from parents led to the creation of two classes, bringing enrollment to over 40 bochurim for the inaugural year.
The Mesivta has also drawn significant interest from outside New York, with approximately one-third of the incoming class coming from out of town, including many children of shluchim. For these families, the new Mesivta offers a unique opportunity: a focused dormitory yeshiva setting with the added benefit of being near Crown Heights, making it easier for parents and shluchim visiting for simchos, the Kinus, and other occasions to stay connected with their sons and the yeshiva.
As the Yeshiva prepares to open this exciting new chapter, the hanhalah looks forward to strengthening Tomchei Temimim and continuing to build a Mesivta where bochurim can grow העכער און העכער, both b’gashmiyus and b’ruchniyus.
