Rav Nosson Tzvi first met a large contingent of talmidim of the yeshiva at Bais Faiga Hall, where a large crowd joined the rosh yeshiva for Shacharis at 7:45 a.m. The talmidim davened with him and then heard divrei chizuk following davening.

The rosh yeshiva then visited the home of Baruch Jeremias in Primrose Estates, where a large number of people greeted him.

A breakfast reception took place at 10:30 a.m. at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Yankie Judowitz on Adelaide Place. The event was co-hosted by Mr. and Mrs. Chananya Pomerantz. R’ Efraim Blumenkrantz delivered opening remarks and introduced the guest speaker, Rav Avrohom Lefkowitz, rosh kollel of Kollel Bnei Torah of Lakewood. Rav Lefkowitz, whose son attends Mir Yerushalayim, delivered a powerful drasha and then introduced the rosh yeshiva, who spoke to the talmidim, friends and supporters who gathered to be mechazek the yeshiva, stating what a zechus it is for him to be able to take achrayus for this heilige makom Torah.

A video was then shown, depicting the phenomenal hasmada that takes place in the yeshiva and the devotion of the maggidei shiur.

The rosh yeshiva will remain in the New York area for the remainder of the week, meeting talmidim and supporters of the yeshiva. Benefit receptions in New York City are scheduled to be held in Battery Park by Meridian Capital and on the Upper West Side by Mr. and Mrs. Cary Wolchok.

  1. What an unbelievable mesiras nefesh to fly such a long flight in not such good health. May the rosh yeshiva be matzliach in gathering sufficient funds to be able to keep the over six thousand people who learn in his botei medroshim going.

  2. There are no words to describe the Gadlus in all areas of the Rosh Yeshiva Shlit”a. His message is clear. Others who are out there raising money should listen to how a Gadol comes to raise money. If they would learn from the Rosh Yeshiva and see what real Mesiras Nefesh for their Yeshiva is and hear how the Rosh Yeshiva says over in the name of the Chofetz Chaim how they should reach out to their parents and donors perhaps they will be more matzliach.
