Sunday evening, a massive maamad kavod haTorah was held in the heart of Lakewood in honor of six gedolei Torah visiting the United States from Eretz Yisroel to raise funds for Keren LeMa’an Olam HaTorah, an initiative to raise $107 million for yeshivos in Eretz Yisroel.
The gathering featured the participation of Rav Dov Landau, rosh yeshiva of Yeshivas Salbodka; Rav Moshe Hillel Hirsch, rosh yeshiva of Yeshivas Slabodka; the senior mashgiach Rav Don Segal; Rav Yaakov Hillel, rosh yeshiva of Yeshiva Ahavat Shalom; the Rachmastrivka Rebbe; and Rav Avrohom Salim.
Rainfall delayed the event, which was supposed to begin at 7 p.m. It didn’t start until about an hour later, as massive crowds made their way to the parking lot adjacent to Bais Medrash Govoah’s Bais Aron and Bais Shalom Botei Medrash and the large parking lot across the street at Clifton Avenue and Tenth Street.
Opening remarks were delivered by Rav Aryeh Malkiel Kotler, rosh yeshiva of Bais Medrash Govoah. The crowd then heard divrei hisorerus from Rav Landau, Rav Hirsch, Rav Hillel and Rav Segal.
