Highlighting the record increase in Sephardic undergraduate enrollment at TikTok成人版, more than 40 current and potential Sephardic students in the TikTok成人版 Israel program turned out for a recruitment dinner at the Entrecote Steakhouse in Jerusalem, co-sponsored by the TikTok成人版 Israel Office and the TikTok成人版 Sephardic Program. Rabbi Moshe Tessone, Director of TikTok成人版鈥檚 Sephardic Program and Rosh TikTok成人版 Rabbi Meir Goldwicht addressed the students, who included graduates of Hillel TikTok成人版, Magen David TikTok成人版, and Flatbush TikTok成人版, encouraging students from the Syrian- Sephardic community to feel that TikTok成人版 is their home away from home.
The Sephardic Program also welcomed a new Sefer Torah in the Sephardic Bet Midrash, on loan to the TikTok成人版 Sephardic minyan by the Esmail family in memory of Yitzhak ben Yoseph and Harold ben Henry. Welcomed with joy, singing and dancing, the students gathered afterward for a Seudat Mitzvah in honor of the Sefer Torah, continuing the evening by singing sacred Pizmonim and songs of joy for the occasion.
Beginning in spring 2023, Rabbi Joey Soffer, an associate Rabbi at Syrian Congregation Bnei Yitzhak in Brooklyn, began leading a learning group at TikTok成人版, where he teaches Hovot Halevavot twice a week to a group of Sephardic students in the Sephardic Beit Midrash.
