The Chidon Journey - 5777

[Music] [Applause] Oh, h you think I should hang my dump plaque? Maybe there's a good spot. Yeah, looks good. Let's go ask out there for some nails. You're so lucky you made it. Right, but it's a new year. You can also start running for book two. I tried last year, but I didn't make it today. On the first day of school, there is something I would like to encourage each and every one of you to be a part of. Especially you who have just joined fourth grade and that is the international kon safer amitz. The kayim in fourth grade will learn book one. In fifth grade will learn book two. In sixth grade, we learned book three. In seventh grade, book four. And in eighth grade, book number five. Over five years, you will be able to master all mitzvah. Now that you're able to, I want each and every one of you to join the I'm going to give out your training guides. We're going to go through it together to make sure that each and every one of you know exactly what you're responsible for. Hi daddy. Hi Ken. How's your first day of Yeshiva? Good. Cen, a box came for you and I put it on your bed. For me? Yep. [Music] Guan Z. [Music] Wow. Whole set of usas. Hi. Thank you so much. song. [Music] I got it for you cuz I really, really want you to join the fed. That's so kind of you, but I don't think I'm as smart as you. You are our school representative. You earned a medal, a plaque, and I don't even think I could get into the Shabbat. Remember what I wrote to you? If you try hard, you'll succeed. Okay, I'll try. Good. [Music] Well, there's only seven weeks to the first test. Ouch. Sorry, that hurt me. Sorry. Why? You got me. Oh, hey guys. What's up? Hi, Zage. Do you want to come out and play football with us? I'd really love to, but I have to learn how to serve the video. What? What do you mean? We already finished today's unit. Yeah, but I have to help my brother. Hi, guys. [Music] Mandle. Yeah. What? Check this out. He fell asleep with his book. He's always learning. I get so much nagas from him. I don't think I got a 70. Don't worry. There's two more tests. Look at your average up. As you got a 92 on your test. Yes. I am an 84. Daddy, do you know where is? No, I don't. But if you find a Yahus book, I'm sure you'll find them behind it. Okay. Thank you. Hi. Kim, did you finish the unit yet? I think I'm giving up. What? But but you did so well on the first test and you're working so hard. I think I did well in part one, but on part two, I don't think I did very good. So, you can still go on the Shabbatone, but I want to be a representative like you. That's not what's important. The most important thing is that you're trying your best. The second test was so hard. I know. Why do they make it so hard? I hope I pass. Yeah, me too. I really want to go in the shop. You got a 60. There's still one more test to go. If you work hard, they'll definitely do well. [Music] [Applause] [Music] Hi. And what's the matter? You're not having pizza? Kheim, didn't you get your marks back from the second test today? Yeah, all my hard work and I still didn't pass it. I'm so sorry, Kheim. You worked so hard for that test. Exactly. I'm trying so hard and I'm not succeeding. There's still one more test, right? I'm sure you'll make it onto the Shabbatone. Yeah, it all depends on the third test now. Why do they have to make it so hard? The second test is so hard. I know. Especially part two. They say the neck test is going to be even harder. Why do they have to make it so hard for us to get in anyway? They have to. It's a worldwide competition. People come from England and even from Australia. Checkmate. Zman. Yeah. I was tossing and turning for the past hour and I can't fall asleep. Why? What's the matter? Well, the third test is tomorrow and if I don't make it, I can't be in the shabatone. But you learned so much. You have nothing to worry about. Let me ask you a question that I remember from last year. Okay. Okay. Can you tell me the six mitz about comets? Very good. You see, I told you I have nothing to worry about. But now you have to get sleep. You need energy if you don't test tomorrow. Okay. [Music] I know how hard each and every one of you worked for this test. So no matter what mark you get, every one of you got the best prize possible. You're filled with the knowledge of Hashem's mitzvah. This knowledge is going to help you in everything you're going to learn from your mishay and especially of learning mitzvah and eventually every single one of you are giving tremendous to your parents our general theb and to our commanderin-chief the now open up tests. Sla [Music] to be aided contestants, you need to get a 70 average on part one of all three qualifying tests. For example, if you get an 80 on test one, a 60 on test two, and a 70 on test three, you qualify to join the international shabaton. However, to be a school representative, you need to qualify for the shabaton and get a 70 average on part two on all three qualifying tests. Barashem many got over a 70 average on both part one and part two on all three qualifying tests. However, the rule is we could only have two representatives for grade. So, our representatives are the with the highest mark in their grade. And now without any further ado, our school represented as fourth grade are men and many. Are you disappointed? Well, it would be nice to be a school representative like I was last year, but at least I'm on the sharp town. He then made me realize that if I try hard, then I'll succeed. I'm so proud of you. You've all worked really hard and you've made it into the international safer hamzas. On the Thursday of the Shabaton, you will be taking aidon final. That test is going to be much more difficult than any of the tests you've taken until now. So now is the time to review the entire book to know it inside out and back to front. And any of you who get over a 70% on the final will be called up at the grandidon event and awarded aone plaque. And if you get an 85, you'll be awarded not only a kidone plaque, but also aidon medal. I would love to see as many as possible from our school to receive the plaque. And hopefully some of you will even get the medal. [Music] long time. You're still learning even though you're ready on the shop. I'm just starting. I really, really want to get a black, maybe even a medal. Great idea. I'm going to get my ass book, too. You 10 boys are representing our school now. And I'm sure you're going to study extra hard to make our school shine. You will be taking an extra test called the trophy test. You will be competing against all the other school representatives for the bronze, silver, and gold trophy. The highest mark in each grade will get the gold trophy, the second to highest, the silver trophy, and the third to highest the bronze trophy. It would be incredible if any of you could come back to school with a hidon trophy.
