The Elul zeman opened at Yeshivas Darchei Ish in Moshav Tirosh with a special shiur delivered by the Rishon LeTzion, Rav Dovid Yosef, who traveled especially for the occasion.
At the start of his remarks, Rav Yosef highlighted the central importance of immersing oneself in Gemara study, stressing that it forms the foundation upon which the Torah world has stood for generations.
“Without toiling in Torah, without diligence in the sugyos of Shas and the poskim, there can be no preservation of the spiritual essence of Am Yisroel. Especially now, at the start of the Elul zeman — a time when we all elevate ourselves and prepare for the Yamim Nora’im — we must strengthen ourselves with even greater commitment to learning and hard work,” he said.
The Rishon LeTzion went on to emphasize that the yeshiva years are the most precious period in the life of a ben Torah. “You must understand — these years will never come back. These are the years you will never forget. Everything you absorb and build in yeshiva will accompany you throughout your entire life. Therefore, you must make the most of every moment and every hour, and be fully immersed in toiling over the Torah with sincerity and dedication,” he urged.
