A new booklet offers Avos Ubonim and Bnos Beis Yaakov-Batya
participants a challenging and fascinating project that
brings the family together to study material covering both
halacha and Jewish values.
The initiative was put together through a joint Bnos Beis
Yaakov-Batya and Anachnu Vetze'ezta'einu effort designed to
fill the vacuum created by the summer break.
Bnos Beis Yaakov-Batya Director Rav Yeshaya Lieberman said
following this year's great success with the Ohr Ganuz
campaign, the organization decided to lead this large
educational campaign, which brings the entire family together
to learn halacha and internalize it. He said one of the
organization's goals is to fill leisure time with worthwhile
endeavors.
The organization printed 100,000 copies of the booklet to be
distributed at Avos Ubonim branches and the 70 Bnos Beis
Yaakov-Batya branches around the country. It covers halachic
material on brochos, bein odom lechavero and kibbud
av ve'em, all of which are frequently encountered during
bein hazmanim. Divided into daily study tasks, it
includes halacha, Mussar, stories about gedolei
Yisroel and a questions section, as well as crossword
puzzles and other fun activities. Children who study from the
booklet can take part in a quiz with prizes by calling a tele-
message center with separate lines for boys and girls and
separate prize lists.
Children who answer the questions earn points that entitle
them to participate in a drawing. There will also be drawings
for a family trip to kivrei tzaddikim and thousands of
valuable prizes provided by Osem.
Rav Eliezer Yudkovsky, director of Anachnu Vetze'ezta'einu,
said the educational and challenging experience the booklet
offers provides meaningful material for both boys and girls,
along with the rest of the family, and bringing the family
together to study halacha is invaluable and helps incorporate
the material in the family's home life.
