The gathering was held at the home of Maran Gaon Yisrael, HaGaon Rav Dov Landau, shlit”a, attended by dozens of Roshei Yeshiva who requested that he voice their concerns in the U.S., regarding the severe situation affecting the Torah world.
Before the event came to a close, a highly emotional moment occurred when the Rosh Yeshiva of Chevron, HaRav HaGaon Rav David Cohen, shlit”a, said to HaRav HaGoan Rav Dov Landau: “May our Rebbe have the strength to make the journey safely and serve as the shaliach for the entire Torah world; to uphold the Torah world now and in the future, be’ezras Hashem. And in the zchus of the Torah that our Rebbe upholds, may the kavod haTorah and its influence continue until the coming of the Goel Tzedek, may he come quickly in our days.”
HaRav HaGaon Rav Dov Landau responded: “Yasher koach, yasher koach. May your brachos be fulfilled in their entirety. Everyone’s brachos. I hope I will have siyata dishmaya to do what I am tasked.”
To conclude, HaRav HaGaon Rab David Cohen recited Birkas Cohanim for Rav Dov Landau, who responded with a heartfelt “Amen!”
