The busses started arriving around 1 PM from South Bend, Indiana, and Cleveland, Ohio, St. Louis, Missouri, and Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, and of course Chicago, Illinois, depositing dozens of 7th grade boys in white shirts, some with their hats and jackets, eager with anticipation about what the day would bring. It was the start of the 2nd annual Asifa L’Bnei Aliya, a program arranged by Agudath Israel of Illinois to benefit nearly 330 boys from Yeshiva Day Schools across the Midwest. Hosted this year at the beautiful Ateres Ayala Simcha Hall in Skokie, Illinois, the program was packed with something for everyone.

Baalebatim participating in this year’s iteration of Yarchei Kallah at Mir Yerushalayim were graced by a visit from the legendary Slabodker rosh yeshiva, HaGaon Harav Dov Laundau shlit”a. The visit commenced with a shiur from the rosh yeshiva, followed by a massive Siyum HaShas attended by thousands. Photo credits: Aryeh Leib Abrams (YWN World Headquarters – NYC)
