From Little Boys to Proud Graduates: A Special Milestone

This week marked a truly unforgettable milestone for our beloved students, as the boys of Rabbi Yarmush's class celebrated their graduation in a ceremony filled with warmth, pride, and deep meaning.

The event began with heartfelt words from Rabbi Jacobs, who warmly welcomed families and introduced the program with his signature sincerity and love. Rabbi Yarmush read a powerful letter from the Rebbe, offering guidance and inspiration to the graduates. The letter reminded everyone of the eternal value of Torah learning and the unique role each child has in bringing light to the world. Rabbi Yarmush then gave each boy a personal bracha, blessing them to continue to grow in Torah, yiras Shamayim, and mitzvos as they move on to high school and beyond.

It was clear to all in attendance how much the boys had grown—not only in height but in knowledge, character, and avodas Hashem. Over the year, they delved deep into their studies, especially in Gemara, developing skills that will serve as a strong foundation for years to come. Their achievements were evident as each student stood up to deliver a beautifully prepared speech. Some spoke about the weekly parsha, others reflected on Shavuos or lessons from halacha or Gemara they had learned during the year. Each speech was well-researched, heartfelt, and delivered with poise—testament to the hard work and dedication they invested all year.

The celebration was truly global. Grandparents and parents joined from around the world, watching proudly as their boys—now young men—were recognized for their accomplishments. Graduation caps and diplomas had been mailed in advance, adding a festive touch and making each boy feel honored and celebrated.

Looking back, it’s remarkable to think that these confident young graduates once joined our program as small, curious children. Now, with hearts full of Torah and heads full of learning, they are ready to take the next step. We are so proud of them, and we can’t wait to see the beautiful future they will build.

Mazel Tov to our graduates and their families—may you go from strength to strength!
