This past week, MTA had the tremendous zechus to celebrate with over 500 talmidim, Rebbeim, faculty, parents, and grandparents at their annual Yeshiva-Wide Siyum and Seudas Preida. The energy in the room was palpable as the yeshiva community came together to recognize and rejoice in the incredible Torah growth their talmidim have achieved this year.

The evening began at the end of the yeshiva day as the whole yeshiva descended on the Beis Medrash. Even after a full day of classes the talmidim quickly came together to learn with their chavrusos and their rebbeim. The Kol Torah reverberated throughout the building.

The Seudas Preida and Siyum opened with divrei Torah from both talmidim and rebbeim, followed by siyumim on five different masechtos. It was a true simchas haTorah, punctuated by incredible dancing, an uplifting kumsitz, and a beautiful fleishig seuda. The yeshiva was especially proud of the 90 talmidim who completed an entire masechta, an inspiring accomplishment!

This year, MTA inaugurated a new yearly custom of completing Maseches Tamid l’zecher nishmas their dear talmid Donny Morris Z”L (‘20). When Donny was a talmid in MTA, he connected deeply to the learning of this masechta and the yeshiva hopes to continue the learning in his memory.

The Seudas Preida concluded with each rebbe presenting his talmidim with personally inscribed seforim, creating a powerful and memorable moment that highlights the deep relationships between the talmidim and their rebbeim.

This special evening served as a beautiful reflection of the depth, commitment, and ruach that defines Torah life at MTA.
