Lions Light 5784 brought amazing programming into the MTA building, and also allowed for talmidim to enjoy some time outside the building. With special programming for each grade and a culminating event that brought the entire yeshiva together, Chanukah at MTA was truly enjoyed by everyone.

On Tuesday, the events were highly personalized for maximum enjoyment. Some talmidim listened to a shiur from YU Rosh Yeshiva Rav Elyakim Koenigsberg, while others entertained special guests from Yachad with singing, dancing, games and snacks. Many talmidim visited assisted living homes and brought smiles to the faces of the residents, and much of the yeshiva enjoyed a mentalist show that was incredible!

Wednesday was a particularly special day, as it has become an MTA tradition for rebbeim to host their talmidim in their homes for a mesiba. This annual get-together always proves to be an important time for MTA talmidim to bond with their rebbeim outside of school, and specifically in their own homes, with great ruach, fun and amazing food.

Thursday capped off the Chanukah celebrations with an amazing chagiga with up-and-coming star Yosef Kugler! The energy was incredible, and the food that accompanied the chagiga was equally fun. For the first time, MTA hosted a fry-fest, and the food served was the best that fried food has to offer, in keeping with the Chanukah theme.

At MTA, the goal was to make Chanukah fun, memorable, meaningful and inspirational, and that goal was definitely reached!
