Chesed is an integral part of programming at MTA, as well as a core value the yeshiva instills within its talmidim. In addition to the yeshiva’s chesed committees, which coordinate a variety of chessed initiatives for all grades throughout the year, each shiur has the opportunity to participate in special chesed projects. Talmidim in Rabbi Richter’s junior shiur visited Koshertroops on Monday, November 12, where they prepared Shabbat care packages for Jewish soldiers stationed throughout the U.S., to help them feel connected to the Jewish community while they are away from home. Talmidim added personal messages to their care packages, thanking the troops for their service.
