Annual Toldos Yeshurun Conference Held
by Yated Ne'eman Staff
Gedolei hador, roshei yeshivos and hundreds of Russian-
speaking avreichim and talmidim gathered on the
fourth night of Chanukah for the annual Toldos Yeshurun
conference. Hundreds of activists and avreichim, along
with over a thousand talmidim, participated in the
event.
Speakers included HaRav Aharon Leib Steinman, HaRav Moshe
Shapira, HaRav C. Sarna, HaRav Y. Gans and HaRav A. Abba
Shaul. Speaking in the name of HaRav Yosef Sholom Eliashiv,
HaRav Yosef Efrati said, "I hereby bless them that they may
go meichayil el chayil." The centerpiece of the
conference was HaRav Yitzchok Zilber's new book of memoirs,
Lehisha'er Yehudi, which came off the press in Russian
just last week.
Toldos Yeshurun is an umbrella organization for Torah-true
kehillos of immigrants from the former Soviet Union
throughout Eretz Yisroel. The largest organization of its
kind, Toldos Yeshurun was founded by HaRav Zilber, the father
of the teshuvoh movement among Russian speakers. Every
day Toldos Yeshurun dispatches some 300 avreichim to
over 1,200 immigrants. The organization also sponsors
hundreds of shiurei Torah and chavrusas across
the country, as well as assisting with bar mitzvah, bris
and chupoh preparations.
