Dirshu Holds Tenth Anniversary Gathering at Yad Eliyahu

By Yechiel Sever

Roshei yeshivos, admorim, rabbonim and over ten thousand avreichim and bochurim who take the Dirshu exams were on hand Tuesday 3 Nisan for Kinus Olom HaTorah, an event at Yad Eliyahu in Tel Aviv to mark a decade of Dirshu operations.

During the ten years since its founding the organization has launched a variety of programs and significantly boosted Torah study among avreichim and yeshiva students.

Gedolei Yisroel, who guide the organization every step of the way, told Dirshu heads that the ten-year anniversary is a "yoma tova lerabbonon." Throughout the year numerous participants take part in a variety of programs, such as Kinyon Shas with tests on the entire Shas, and a Daf Yomi track with monthly tests on 30 blatt. Other programs include Kinyon Halochoh, Kinyon Shevi'is and Bnei Hayeshivos. This week's event marked the first time that all of the various participants came together as one — ke'ish echod beleiv echod.

Participants streamed in on Tuesday evening, many on chartered buses arriving from various parts of the country, and the event was broadcast live for ladies in the auditorium in Bnei Brak's Ramat Elchanan neighborhood and also for Dirshu participants at various locations around the world.

The event included a siyum haShas, speeches by gedolei Yisroel and Kabbolas Ol Malchus Shomayim.
