Thousands of female students from hundreds of state-religious educational institutions (Chamad) across the country filled the Sultan's Pool in Jerusalem for a powerful event honoring the Torah. The event took place as part of the opening celebrations of the school year in the "Rambam Hayomi" project, which is part of a two-day event gathering over 13,000 students celebrating the completion of the entire Torah cycle. The participants dedicated their free time to studying the "Mitzvah Journey" booklets covering all the Torah commandments out of personal choice. The ceremony took place during the Ten Days of Repentance and combined prayers for the success of IDF soldiers and acceptance of the yoke of heaven. The Rabbi of Safed, Rabbi Shmuel Eliyahu, spoke and said that Jerusalem, which was desolate, has become the holy city and the Temple will be rebuilt soon. The event host, singer Avia Sharman, highlighted the uniqueness of the project. The national supervisor of secondary education in Chamad, Rabbi Gad Bertov, blessed the learners and emphasized that the gathering is a gathering of redemption. The joy peaked with performances by Ishay Ribo, Elaytzur, and Naor Carmi, along with riddles, dances, and songs. The event proved, according to the article, how young people return to God out of love.
