For the first time in five years, Rav Boruch Weisbecker, rosh yeshiva of Yehsiva Bais Matisyahu in Bnei Brak and a member of the Moetzes Gedolei Hatorah of Degel Hatorah, has embarked on a chizuk trip to the United States.
The rosh yeshiva departed earlier this week, escorted off by a procession of talmidim and alumni.
Rav Weisbecker plans to visit various communities in New York and New Jersey, imparting words of chizuk and hisorerus ahead of the start of Elul next week.
Rav Weisbecker undertook the trip despite the challenge involved for the sake of Yeshiva Bais Matisyahu, which has recently encountered major financial difficulties.
