There are also nightly raffles for all attendees. After the learning time, the boys are treated to delicious refreshments, including, ice cream, ices, cholent, poppers, doughnuts and more.
Rabbi Zvi Schwartz who founded the program comments.
“Summer vacation and organized summer night learning used to be an oxymoron. Not anymore. MLB has been a game changer. The summer evenings at the Agudah are a unique opportunity for boys to learn with a chavrusa or father in a structured and exciting setting. We look forward once again to the tens of thousands of Mishnayus and hundreds of blatt learned, Mesechtas completed and the happy faces of boysthat are radiating the simcha and chiyus of learning Torah“
