For a number of years, Rabbi Mordechai and Mrs. Shterney Kanelsky, Executive Director and Associate Director, Bris Avrohom, Hillside, New Jersey have sponsored a learning campaign at United Lubavitch Yeshiva, encouraging students to memorize portions of the Tanya. This program began as a memorial to their daughter Bat Sheva ob”m, who passed away in 2003.

Once again this year, the Kanelskys came to ULY to award all those who participated in this program with personalized laminated certificates and two dollar bills.

Rabbi Y.Y. Simpson, principal, addressed the students, explaining the importance and the impact the holy words of Torah have as well as praising them for their extra learning.

Rabbi Kanelsky also addressed the students, thanked the teachers and especially Rabbi Simpson for inspiring the students towards their accomplishments.
