Is there anything better than MTA Mishmar Madness? This past week, the yeshiva held its first of these highly anticipated events, which extend the regular Thursday night mishmar program through inspiring shiurim, beautiful singing, great food and amazing activities.

Having the opening Mishmar Madness precede Shabbos Shuva made the event that much more impactful. The talmidim benefited from a round robin rotation of shiurim from their rebbeim, focused on helping talmidim with their approach to Yom Kippur. The lights-out kumzitz that followed, led by new singing sensation Meir Solomon, not only brought the Yomim Noraim niggunim out in full force, but it was considered by many talmidim to be the best in recent memory. It was the perfect segway into MTA’s first mini shabbaton of the year that took place the next day in Bergen County, which included a yeshiva-wide tish and two Shabbos Shuva seuda shelishit programs. Seeing so many MTA talmidim come together for these two incredible events was truly inspirational. The year is just getting started, and there is so much more to come!
