MTA talmidim in Rabbi Tani Cohen’s Julius Wrubel Beit Midrash Katan shiur enjoyed their shabbaton on Shabbat, parshat Vayeira, at Rabbi Cohen’s home in Bergenfield. The shabbaton included lively seudot, zemirot, Divrei Torah, learning sedarim, a tish with Rosh Yeshiva Rabbi Taubes and an incredibly moving musical melave malka and kumzitz. Talmidim truly enjoyed bonding with each other and their rebbe and are grateful to Rabbi and Rebbetzin Cohen for opening their home and providing this incredible experience.

The Julius Wrubel Beit Midrash Katan program is designed to provide seniors with an exceptionally intensive learning experience, which will help them transition to the world of beit midrash learning in which they will continue to thrive post-high school. These talmidim are exposed to the very best of the traditional “yeshiva atmosphere” and study at a level not often made available to high school talmidim. Seniors in the BMK learn in the Yeshiva University beit midrash, where they spend most of their mornings preparing for shiur under Rabbi Cohen’s guidance. In addition, talmidim in the BMK program spend several nights a week learning at night seder, held in local community batei midrash. They also benefit from an extended night seder in YU’s Glueck Beit Midrash under the supervision of two shoalim u-meishivim, both members of the prestigious Kollel Elyon at RIETS. These talmidim also dedicate a portion of their time to independent and group study of mikra and machshava.
