The Bruriah students enjoyed a siyum on the occasion of finishing the entire Chumash Bereishit this past week, created by the Uvilechticha Vaderech Committee. The Uvilechticha Vaderech Committee, run by junior Leora Goldstein, is one of Bruriah’s amazing learning lishma opportunities that focuses on the parshat hashavua. The committee creates a guided source sheet about the parsha, a “wrap-up” video from a student or faculty member. This wrap-up video discusses an individual source or overall idea, brought down in the sourcesheet and fuses his/her unique interpretation of it. The source sheet and video are sent to the school on Friday afternoon, in time for the girls to learn on their bus ride home. That explains the committee name, Uvilechticha Vaderech. The girls wanted a way to celebrate the accomplishment of learning parshat hashavua each week of Parshat Bereishit and the siyum included words of Torah from Bruriah’s ninth grade rebbe, Rabbi Chaim Gerson. Over 30 participants enjoyed fresh cholent to create the Shabbos atmosphere after hearing words of Torah! The siyum was an incredible way to celebrate learning and to build excitement for learning Chumash Shemot!

Leora Goldstein is a junior at Bruriah.
