Gedolah
by Yated Ne'eman Staff
A new yeshiva gedolah in Beis Chilkiya, headed by HaRav
Yosef Shreiber, was dedicated on Rosh Chodesh Elul in the
presence of gedolei Yisroel, rabbonim and public
figures.
The festive opening ceremony for the yeshiva was held in the
evening. The opening was made possible after the family of R'
Eliezer Weil allowed the yeshiva to be built on their land. A
large building housing the beis medrash and dining hall
was built in the courtyard near the Weil home. The building
itself was donated by Rav Aharon Fogel, a friend of the
yeshiva since its beginning. HaRav Michel Yehudah Lefkovitz
graced the ceremony with his presence and addressed the
assembled crowd.
Motzei Shabbos parshas Ki Seitzei, the yeshiva students
received a visit from HaRav Aharon Yehudah Leib Steinman.
HaRav Steinman stressed their great merit as well as great
responsibility at the opening of a place of Torah within a
chareidi settlement. He extended his blessing that the yeshiva
serve as a source of light and support to the entire moshav as
well as to the surrounding area. He added his blessing that
the bochurim merit to spread the glory of Torah
throughout the entire world, as Chazal have taught that one
performing a single mitzvah can be the determining factor for
the whole world.
"A bochur learns a page of gemora, yet has no idea
what he has caused to happen in the Upper Worlds. He causes a
revolution and lends strength to the Heavenly Entourage. Happy
are you who have merited to set up such a place of Torah that
will, besiyata deShmaya, lend support to the entire land
of Israel and to the whole world," HaRav Steinman noted.
