The TABC student body joined with members of Tzahal over FaceTime on Thursday, May 16, to make a siyum on Masechet Brachot. Over the last several weeks, each shiur at TABC covered two dapim of Brachot while the Combat Engineering Unit, Handasa Kravit, covered the rest.

Sgan Rosh Yeshiva Rabbi Daniel Fridman addressed the students before the siyum, explaining how chayalim epitomize the spirit of Yehoshua Bin Nun in that they fight a war of mitzvah while simultaneously engaged in the learning of Torah.

Following the conclusion of the masechet, the students and soldiers broke out in spirited song and dance. It was a fitting conclusion to the past week in which the school community has focused on the centrality of Medinat Yisrael within Judaism, in conjunction with the observance of Yom Hazikaron and Yom Ha’atzmaut.

TABC extends a big thank you to Rabbi Daniel Fridman and Rabbi Zev Reichman for bringing this incredible initiative to TABC and to Director of IT Ken Harris for bringing it to life! Chazak chazak v’nitchazek!
