At the grand Halikut Siyum on Thursday, following the tests and competitions on the Sichos, the Bochurim were excited to greet all those who had taken part in the editing of Likkutei Sichos, who came to attend in honor of the occasion.
For the first time ever, they all sat down to share memories and insights on the background of Likkutei Sichos, featuring the Rebbe’s chief Chozer Rabbi Yoel Kahn, Rabbi Leibel Altein, Rabbi Dovid Olidort, Rabbi Leibel Schapiro, and Rabbi Nachman Schapiro.
After seeing the Bochurim’s knowledge in the Sichos, Rabbi Yoel Kahn remarked with excitement that he would like to give a special Shiur for the ten Bochurim who scored the top marks on the test. Rabbi Nachman Schapiro related how amazing it was to see so many Bochurim with a full sefer of the Rebbe’s Torah on their fingertips.
The panel was preceded by a special presentation on the Rebbe’s Torah shown by Rabbi Chaim Shaul Brook of Vaad Hanachos B’Lahak, and a class given by Rabbi Mendel Kaplan, Shliach in Toronto, sharing tips and advice on how to deliver a Sicha to a public audience.
Halikut program is a project of Vaad Talmidei Hatmimim.

I know Rabbi Kaplan from his bochur days, he was always an extremely motivated student. I guess he inherited…
Beautiful gifts of rabbinic and Chassidik knowledge from both sides of his parents family!
Toronto Canada is very lucky to have him.
For keeping the hiskashrus and chassidishe feeling alive in our youth in 5779…….. Grateful mother of bochurim
Is there a recording of what they spoke about?
If yes, how can we get a copy or a download?
are there any pictures of the test and competition? I would love to see!
Amazing to see Reb Yoel with his talmedim surrounding him on the head table! unbelievable the talent he produced in order that we today have the Rebee’s torah written down, each one a giant on his own!
