Hundreds of Avreichim and Yeshiva Students Tested by Veshinantem

by Betzalel Kahn

Hundreds of kollel students and bnei yeshiva were recently tested on their studies by the well known organization, Veshinantem. The goal of this international organization is the inculcation of an awareness of the need for review and repetition of one's Torah studies.

In the exams conducted between 26 and 28 Nisan, each participant was tested on the gemora he is studying, each according to his level. Younger students were tested for the first time on one hundred pages of gemora and Tosafos. Veteran participants who have amassed hundreds of pages of gemora upon which they had been tested in the past, were tested upon them once again in addition to new pages they had studied in the recent zman. Among them were the "omlei haTorah" who were tested on over 1000 pages of gemora with Tosafos: and some on up to 1650 pages of gemora, Rashi and Tosafos.

The number of participants has increased with each bi-annual cycle. "The efforts of the students during the recent winter zman and their review throughout bein hazmanim - - a period intended for review and memorization -- are now evident," say the heads of Veshinantem.

The tests took place on in the Peer hall (Beis Yaakov Hayoshon) and in the organization offices on 9 Berdichev Street in Jerusalem's Beis Yisroel neighborhood.
