Sanzer Rebbe: "Three Day Round-the-Clock Torah Study Shifts in all our Botei Medrash, Kollelim and Yeshivos"
By Yechiel Sever
"'I beseech my brothers' [that] in every beis medrash, kollel and yeshiva there be organized shifts of Torah study round-the-clock for a three-day period, each shift consisting of four hours and including at least a minyan, so that when one shift is davening, another shift will be learning. Thus, Torah will be studied non-stop for the duration of three full days." This was the request of the Admor of Sanz this past Shabbos, Parshas Pinchos, at shalosh seudos.
The Rebbe added, "I remember that in 5727 (the Six Day War), our holy Rebbe instituted this practice in the yeshiva and indeed, we were able to witness the salvation of Hashem through great miracles." He said further that this selfsame call was issued by HaRav Aharon Leib Shteinman last week as well, following a recommendation of the Ramchal, who advised a three-day period of uninterrupted study to forestall harsh decrees.
He also mentioned that, "Klal Yisroel has suffered throughout the years of its exile, sometimes from the murderous gentiles who embittered their lives through harsh and evil decrees and pogroms and at other times, from Jewish apostates who attempted to sever them from their heritage. Assaf prophesied that at the end of days, in pre-Moshiach times, the persecution would be redoubled, both from the outside as well as from the ranks within, and he lamented, `For lo, Your enemies are in an uproar, and those who hate You rear their heads.'"
