WATCH: R’ Shlomo Yehuda Rechnitz at Mir Yerushalayim Simchas Bais Hashoeivah: “Shidduch Crisis is the Biggest Tzarah”

Monday night, the vibrant atmosphere of Yeshivas Mir Yerushalayim’s Simchas Bais Hashoeivah was electrified as R’ Shlomo Yehuda Rechnitz, the esteemed baal tzedakah and machzik Torah from Los Angeles, graced the stage.

In his engaging speech, R’ Rechnitz addressed a diverse range of issues facing the Torah community today, including the remarkable growth of Torah in our times. He extolled the virtues of Yeshivas Mir Yerushalayim, emphasizing the exceptional nature of its roshei yeshiva and rabbeim, telling the talmidim, “Nutzed dos ois!” (That is, “Take advantage!”)

With deep reverence, he recalled the influence of his own roshei yeshiva and rabbeim from the Mir who have since passed on, their teachings and legacies still resonating in the hearts of their talmidim.  His remarks evoked a wave of nostalgia among the attendees.

Shlomo Yehuda didn’t shy away from addressing pressing contemporary issues that have sparked heated discussions within the community. He spoke candidly about the Israeli army, acknowledging the incredible siyata d’Shmaya it has experienced.

He also touched upon the issue of chareidim staging hafganos, particularly those that block streets, causing the frustrations of secular Israelis.

One of the most poignant moments of the evening came when R’ Shlomo Yehuda addressed the shidduch crisis, which he described as “the biggest tzarah that I see.” His heartfelt remarks resonated deeply with many in the audience.
