Chabad-Lubavitch Yeshiva System Celebrates 110th Anniversary
An event in Israel marked the 110th anniversary of the opening of Tomchei Tmimim Lubavitch, founded in 1897 by the Fifth Lubavitcher Rebbe, Rabbi Shalom Dovber, of righteous memory.
The Rebbe announced the yeshiva’s founding on the 15th of the Hebrew month of Elul during the wedding feast of his son, the future Sixth Lubavitcher Rebbe, Rabbi Yosef Yitzchak Schneersohn, of righteous memory. In the more than a century since, the yeshiva, with branches in locations across the globe, has lived up to the Rebbe’s vision: a place where the study of Talmud, Jewish Law and Chassidic Thought would be integrated into an inspiring curriculum that would produce graduates dedicated to serving every single Jew.
“The students of the Chabad yeshivah were known for their self-giving,” said Rabbi Shlomo Amar, Chief Rabbi of Israel, during the celebration in Kfar Chabad. “The entire education was based on giving to others.”
With thousands learning today in Chabad yeshivas, celebrants in Kfar Chabad remembered the days when school were operated under difficult and dangerous conditions.
