This Google Custom Search looks only in this website. A True Story: An Amazing Dream and Tehillim
This story took place at the beginning of Iyar, just about two months ago. Following the article we have included the response of HaRav Chaim Kanievsky shlita to the events recounted.
Rabbi Eliezer Lipa Zeril is a mashgiach kashrus who travels for the Eida Chareidis. Recently he has been in a small town near Strasbourg, in Germany. There are two Strasbourgs: one in France and one in Germany. The one in France is a big city. The in Germany is a smaller center.
This is the story he told us.
Speaking at the siyum of maseches Chulin at a kolel in Ramat Hasharon, HaRav Gershon Edelstein clarified some important concepts of support of Torah.
"It is well known that one who supports Torah acquires a share in the Torah that the avreich learns and it belongs to him! And this refers not only to the reward for the learning — but his soul actually absorbs the Torah itself.
I>The essay was originally published by R' Elchonon to give perspective on the events of his time, and how they were seen and foreseen by chazal. Although it first appeared in Yiddish in 5699-1939, eighty years ago, its message is still fresh and vital.
R' Elchonon's son, HaRav Simcha Wassermann, tried very hard to give this essay as wide a circulation as possible. We originally published it in 5753-1993, within the year of mourning for HaRav Simchah, le'iluy nishmosoh. Now, after the 80th anniversary of its original publication, we are republishing it here, online as part of our series of essays on basic issues of Hashkofoh.

Based on true stories heard from teachers
Mrs. Schwartz was next on line. As soon as Mrs. Gendel
exited the classroom, Mrs. Schwartz rose from her chair in
the hall and walked towards the door, aware of the admiring
glances that followed her. Dressed in a tailored suit with
matching jewelry, she looked every inch the executive mom
she was.

In the wake of an article I once wrote about the parental responsibility of taking an interest in their children's study in yeshivos ketanos and gedolos, I received many supportive letters thanking me for discussing this topic in public. I was also requested to continue emphasizing this subject since it directly concerns the benefit our precious children derive from their institutions of study.
