Yud Tes Kislev At Rabbi ‘O’s Yeshiva (YNS) Like Never Before

It all started at 4:00 p.m. when everyone washed & sat down for the beautifully prepared Seuda which was followed by a farbrengen headed by Rabbi Yaacov Orimland and joined by mashpia, Rabbi Levi Wilschanski, our magidei shiurim, Rabbi Landesman and Rabbi Rottenberg and our madrich, Habochur Moshe Benshimon.

Preparations for Yud Tes Kislev started “shloshim yom kodem ha’chag” when the mivtza of saying Chitas and being makpid in putting on Rabbeinu Tam, was introduced to the bochurim. Yasher Koach to those bochurim who accomplished and stood firm with their hachlotah and will IY”H be rewarded with an exciting outing of night jeeping in the Golan.

The farbrengen got under way with the singing of the Ma’amer niggun followed with more than half of the bochurim saying over parts of the Ma’amer Podoh B’shalom Nafshi by heart. One bochur was so overcome with emotions to the point that one was able to see tears rolling down his face. When approached after the farbrengen and asked what was that all about the bochur replied that he never thought that he was able to accomplish anything like this!

The Hanholah emphasized on the application of the stories of Yud Tes Kislev to todays day and age and spoke strongly about our Hiskashrus to the REBBE. Hatomim Moshe Borodkin surprised everyone by making a hachlotah of learning the entire Meseches Makos by heart after earlier in the morning he proved himself by saying over the first blatt of the gemorah ba’al peh!

By 9:00 p.m. the thirteen bochurim of our yeshiva were joined by many guests who came to participate in the Yud Tes Kislev farbrengen and they were all still going strong beyond 1:30 a.m.

Rabbi Levi Wilschanski, Mashpia of YNS commented, how he was amazed at the bochurim of the yeshiva who were sitting by the farbrengen for over 91/2 hours and they still wanted more!

One of the ba’alei battim in attendance conveyed his appreciation to Rabbi “O” for having such a Yud Tes Kislev farbrengen. He said he never was able to experience such a powerful feeling of hiskashrus to the REBBE like at this farbrengen and how happy and proud he is that YNS is part of the Tzfas community.

    Rabbi O
    I have heard only amazing things about you, my brother thinks the world of you. You are literally changing his life in every aspect. You are showing him a true appreciation for being chassidim. It’s unbelievable what a difference these short few months have made in him. If only others could learn from you and really care and love all of our children for who and what they are. You bring out the best in each child. I wish you much continued Hatzlacha in your shlichus, you are truely making this world a Dirah B’tachtonim, and passing on that message to each of your students.
    Thank you so much!

  • a. Borodkin

    Rabbi O, I’m so thankfull for everything you do for my boys. It was a very special Nachas to read about Moshele’s achievement and hachloto. It was especially meaningful because Yud Tes Kislev is the Yahrtzeit of my dear grandfather Benyomin Boruch ben Noach Hakohen a”h. Boruch is named after him.

    I know that my grandfather is receiving a lot of Nachas from his grandsons, all thanks to your efforts.
    Mrs. Borodkin

    Moshele and Boruch – Yasher Koach for all that you have accomplished and you should go from strength to strenth and higher and higher,
    Love Mommy B.
