HaRav Shach Said that if they Draft Yeshiva Students we must Leave Because it will be Dangerous to Stay
Speaking at a special Atzeres Chizuk at Kol Torah Yeshiva on Sunday night, HaRav Boruch Shmuel Deutsch said that things looked very bleak and we should not just assume that things will work out.
"We Must Hold in Contempt the Slurs Against Torah Learners Lest these Cool Off Our Esteem for Torah Study"
"We find ourselves in a trying time where many rise up against us, attempting to strike out at Torah scholars and diminish Torah in the midst of Klal Yisroel. We must remember primarily that when we hear their arguments against us, aside from affirming that they have no basis, we must also hold them in contempt," said HaRav Nissim Karelitz in a special address preceding his regular shiur delivered to a group of Torah disseminators in Bnei Brak.

HaRav Avrohom Shag, zt"l, of Koibesdorf
In honor of his yahrtzeit, 29 Adar
His great rebbe, Maran the Chasam Sofer zy"a, once mentioned in passing concerning Reb Avrohom Shag that for a two kilometer radius around Pressburg there was none to compare to him. It is no wonder then that once at a meeting of several great rabbonim and talmidei chachomim including the Chasam Sofer himself, the latter accorded R' Avrohom great honor. When Reb Avrohom arose to leave the meeting, his rebbe got up and went to accompany Rabbeinu out, leaving the other distinguished men considerably surprised. Seeing their expressions, the Chasam Sofer answered them, "Come and let me show you his greatness in Torah."
