Positive repercussions were registered in the wake of the impressive central gathering of hundreds of bnei yeshiva parents organized by Ichud Bnei Yeshivos on motzei Shabbos Parshas Vayechi. The gathering took place in the Shaarei Malchus auditorium by the request of the rabbonim of Brachfeld, who have supported the organization since its inception, in the light of the blessed growth of the bnei yeshiva population and the need for guidance for the teenage sector of boys and their age-related problems. The audience listened avidly, eager to hear the various ways of relating and coping with the chinuch of this difficult age bracket.
The Ichud Bnei Yeshivos was founded with the encouragement and blessings of our Torah leadership in order to assist the youth in dealing with the problems of this decisive age in life, upon which depends so much of their future success, both in yeshiva and in their adult life ahead. It is so important to instill in these youths a strong desire to succeed in gemara study through a solid understanding leading to personal satisfaction so as to circumvent future difficulties and propel the students to their march into yeshiva gedola with confidence and success.
In the course of the assembly, HaRav Moshe Hillel Hirsch, Rosh Yeshivas Slobodka, addressed the hundreds of participants, depicting the figure of a model father and educator while vividly explaining the various difficulties and challenges facing a yeshiva bochur in his day-to-day life, and how to diagnose, treat and help the yeshiva students with the particular tests of today's modern world.
