MTA’s Extra Learning Initiatives Enhance Torah Programming

MTA’s incredible variety of extra learning programs provide talmidim with the opportunity to enhance their Torah learning throughout the day. These initiatives include an Iyun Tefillah Chaburah every morning before davening, where talmidim explore topics related to davening; a daily Mishna Chaburah, where they gain a better understanding of Maseches Pesachim; a weekly Y Club, where talmidim ask their burning questions about Judaism to their rebbeim; Night Seder four nights a week, where they learn with MTA rebbeim as well as Yeshiva University rebbeim and talmidim; and so much more. “We strive to instill a true love for Torah in all of our talmidim,” said MTA Associate Principal Rabbi Shimon Schenker. “Our goal is to teach our talmidim how to make time for Torah in their daily lives outside of Shiur, which will enable them to continue growing as b’nai Torah beyond their four years at MTA. These extra learning programs are designed to help them balance their responsibilities, like homework, extracurricular activities, and spending time with family and friends, and still carve out time in their day for learning. The programs currently take place both in-person in yeshiva as well as on Zoom to give talmidim the flexibility to participate no matter where they are.”
