HaRav Gershon Eidelstein engaged in a chizuk tour to numerous yeshivos preceding Shavuos, paying a special visit to Yeshivas Ohr Yisroel in Petach Tikva where he delivered a guidance address to its students. Masses of local residents also joined the event to prepare themselves for the Giving of the Torah.

This is the central path of the members of the Torah world, tens of thousands of yeshiva students and avreichim. This is the path they follow: Torah, more Torah and again Torah, only Torah. Toil in Torah, perseverance, exploiting time to the fullest, and growing throughout the full expanse of Torah, but above all, the exaltation of their status and esteem, for they are the pinnacle and crowing glory of the Chosen People.

This is an edited transcript of a tape of a lecture provided by the Aish Hatorah Audio Center. We have smoothed it out for written publication, but have not removed the sound and feel of the talk on which it is based. That is how most of his many talmidim remember HaRav Weinberg, zt"l. It was originally published in 2000, and explains a basic approach to the events of Shavuos.

HaRav Avigdor Miller: The Rov Who Turned Baalebatim Into Bnei Yeshiva by M. Samsonowitz Part I Slated to Be a Rov Since the age of 13, Avigdor Miller had decided that he wanted to be a rabbi heading a congregation. It was not a vaunted profession in the spiritually parched years of the 1920s in America, particularly outside of the New York Jewish community, but young Avigdor had always been attracted to religious life and Jewish learning. While he attended public school like all the other Jewish boys from religious homes, his true interests lay in his Jewish studies which he studied with his grandfather and other local rabbonim.

PREPARING FOR THE FUTURE Identifying Burn-Out by R' Zvi Zobin Question: What can you advise about young men and boys who feel `burnt-out'? How can they relax and then revive their interest in learning? Some seem to get `mono' after their wedding and variations of `burn-out.' Do you have any ideas?
