Recently, MTA introduced a new grade-wide chavruta program for seniors to foster and develop relationships among talmidim in the grade, regardless of their shiur. “One of the key ingredients that both create and maintain a relationship is the bond of spiritual seeking and growth,” said Associate Principal Rabbi Shimon Schenker. “There is a strong possibility that some students may never have shared a class or even a true conversation with numerous classmates.” Learning material is distributed to students each week in the hopes that involving all students in the same limud Torah will promote conversation and interaction throughout the entire grade and create a meaningful opportunity for grade-wide achdut.
