Elul in Slabodke
by B. Reim

In a letter written to HaRav Yosef Chaim Sonnenfeld zt"l, HaRav Naftoli Yosef Silverberg zt"l told about his experiences in Slabodka over Rosh Hashonoh in the year 5664 (1903). "Elul in Slabodka" was a special concept that all alumni of that great yeshiva remembered. This letter was first published last year in the Hebrew edition of Yated, having been generally unknown until it was discovered erev Rosh Chodesh Elul, 5763, almost a hundred years after it had been written.
