A New Yeshiva in the Olam HaTorah: Heichal Eliyahu
Today there will be event to give a name to a new Yeshiva in Sderot that is sponsored by Yeshivat HaNegev, headed by Hagaon Rabbi Meir Yissachar Meir shlita.
The Yeshiva was already founded three years ago with a group of excellent students who came from important Yeshivot Gedolot and built a place of Torah. The establishment of the Yeshiva in Sderot during the period when many residents fled the city that had became the front lines in the attacks from Gaza made a big impact on the city residents.
The Rosh Yeshiva, Hagaon Rabbi Yissachar Meir shlita, wanted to mould a spiritual infrastructure for this city. Indeed, the Yeshiva today has about one hundred students and has taken an honorable place in the Yeshiva world.
In addition to the Rosh Yeshiva Hagaon Rabbi Yissachar Meir shlita, the Yeshiva is headed by Rabbi Yisrael Meir Shalom shlita, Rabbi Dov Man shlita, Rabbi Aharon Schwartz shlita, Rabbi Yaakov Friedman shlita, Rabbi Moshe Botbol shlita, and Rabbi Shlomo Wachselbaum shlita, and more important rabbis. There is also an important Kollel there, headed by Rabbi David Sampolinsky shlita.
The Yeshiva will be named today Heichal Eliyahu, under the auspices of Yeshivat HaNegev; it is named after Rabbi Eliyahu Halevi Shemaah z’l of Brooklyn, one of the principal supporters of Torah and chinuch. Maranan v’rabbanan shlit’a sent letters of blessing in honor of the event.
The Mission Continues As in the past so it remains today - we were and still are under the selfsame commitment to adhere to the directions of the Gedolei Yisrael, who stand guard against breaches of purity threatening our camp. When we were required to ask – we asked. When we were instructed to depart – we left. The moment we are summoned back to raise the flag, every other consideration is pushed to the side and we answer: We are ready!
The Command, and the Retreat In light of the comments recently made by Gedolei Yisrael, shlita, "Etrog" – a site that is completely free of lashon hara – has decided to discontinue its services on the internet. From this moment on, there will be no news or other informative postings on the portal
