Is there anything better than MTA Mishmar Madness? This past week, the yeshivah held its first of these highly anticipated events, which extend the regular Thursday night mishmar program through inspiring shiurim, beautiful singing, great food, and amazing activities.

Having the opening Mishmar Madness precede Shabbas Shuvah made the event that much more impactful. The talmidim benefited from a round-robin rotation of shiurim by their rebbeim, focused on helping talmidim with their approach to Yom Kippur. The lights-out kumsitz that followed, led by new singing sensation Meir Solomon, not only brought the Yamim Nora’im niggunim out in full force, but it was considered by many talmidim to be the best in recent memory. It was the perfect segue into MTA’s first mini-Shabbaton of the year, which took place the next day in Bergen County, and which included a yeshivah-wide tish and two Shabbas Shuvah shalosh s’udos programs. Seeing so many MTA talmidim come together for these two incredible events was truly inspirational. The year is just getting started, and there is so much more to come! Stay tuned…
