As a yeshiva high school student attending DRS, through learning at Yeshivat Kerem B’Yavneh, receiving semicha from RIETS and a master’s from Azrieli, Rabbi Ariel Schreier had a particular affinity for the study of Mishnayot, finding their brevity and focus exciting. Currently a third grade boys’ rebbe and fifth grade girls’ Mishnah instructor at RYNJ, Rabbi Schreier saw an opportunity for sharing his excitement and enthusiasm for Mishnayot with his talmidim.
Starting with a group of 25 boys to whom Rabbi Schreier sent out pre-recorded videos three times per week, word of the program spread quickly. With its subsequent launch in December as a live program, offered on Sunday, Tuesday and Thursday evenings at 7 p.m., “Mishna Accomplished” now attracts over 100 boys. On Tuesday evening, February 23, more than 200 participants including proud rebbeim and glowing parents and grandparents joined the students from grades 3-6 who celebrated the initial siyum on Masechet Megilla in a joyous Zoom broadcast.
