The Talmidim reflected upon the emphasis placed on making the most of their unique talents.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">The highlight of the evening was the celebration and awards given to Talmidim finished the entire Tanya\u2014Sefer Shel Benoni and for those who were tested on full mesechtos of Gemara! May they continue to grow in their learning! It was amazing to see so much learning happening, both in class and during their own downtime through the Mivtzah Torah initiative.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">We would like to thank Rabbi Mendy Volfman who ran the Tanya Mivtzah and to Rabbi Ephraim Lerner for running the Gemara l\u2019girsah Mivtzah.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">We would also like to extend our Hakaras Hatov to the generous sponsors of each of these mivtzos!<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Rabbi Elchonon Friedman, the Dean of our Yeshiva, remarked, \u201cSeeing bochurim during all hours dedicated to committed learning and getting tested on 53 perokim Tanya and Mesechtos of Gemorah is a testament to the exceptional Roshei Yeshiva and Mashgichim in our Yeshiva. Who dedicate day and night to inspire and guide Bochurim to new heights in Torah and Chassidus.\u201d<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">The event\u2019s atmosphere was further enlivened by an engaging comprehensive \u2018Jeopardy\u2019 competition organized by Rabbi Moshe Aaron Giesinsky. It was a great way for everyone to look back on everything they learned this year and remember some of the best moments at the Yeshiva.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">For pictures of the event and awards please see below.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Pittsburgh Zal is a post Mesivta Zal made for Bochurim who have a deep desire to be frum, upright, Chassidishe Bochurim, dedicated to the Rebbe, his vision and way of life. We strive to provide a well rounded education both B\u2019gashmiyus and B\u2019ruchniyus to help bachurim advance in all aspects of their lives and in avodas Hashem.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Learn more about the Yeshiva:<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\"><a href=\"http:\/\/pittsburghzal.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\" data-saferedirecturl=\"https:\/\/www.google.com\/url?q=http:\/\/pittsburghzal.com&amp;source=gmail&amp;ust=1782840241442000&amp;usg=AOvVaw04JMQFpf8r_kZryRXP4sLe\">pittsburghzal.com<\/a><\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\"><a href=\"http:\/\/collive.com\/cdn-cgi\/l\/email-protection#3a53545c557a4a534e4e49584f485d52405b5614595557\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">[email\u00a0protected]<\/a><\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">213-910-4436<\/p>\n<p>                    <a href=\"https:\/\/chat.whatsapp.com\/EeU5Vt0j6PPGMXHt0itb3F\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\"><br \/>\n                      <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"600\" height=\"150\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/WACo_600.gif\"\/><br \/>\n                      <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Beis Medrash Chabad of Pittsburgh (Pittsburgh Zal) concluded\u00a0 the school year with a special banquet to celebrate the&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":232511,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[9],"tags":[73,75,74,100517,100518],"class_list":["post-232510","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-pittsburgh","tag-pittsburgh","tag-pittsburgh-headlines","tag-pittsburgh-news","tag-rabbi-elchonon-friedman","tag-rabbi-mendy-volfman"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/232510","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=232510"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/232510\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/232511"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=232510"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=232510"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=232510"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
