[Video and photos links below.] The second day of the annual Agudah Yarchei Kallah in Yerushalayim was a beautiful blend of in-depth limud haTorah, incredible shiurim, and powerful chizuk. The day began with the customary hachanah and limud b’chavrusa, as the inspiring sounds of the kol Torah filled the bais medrash at the Ramada Hotel. The atmosphere was electric, with participants eagerly engaging in rigorous limud in preparation for the day’s shiurim.
Following this, there was an introduction to the sugya d’kallah, with a comprehensive shiur hachanah delivered by Rav Shlomo Gottesman, setting the tone for the learning ahead.
At the end of the morning seder, the Yarchei Kallah pesichah was delivered by Rav Chaim Yitzchok Kaplan, the mashgiach of Yeshivas Chevron and R”M at Yeshivas Pachad Yitzchok. His powerful words were a perfect opening for the first full day of the Yarchei Kallah, highlighting the importance of yegiah in Torah and constant aliyah.
A special visit to Kever Rochel that afternoon added a deeply emotional layer to the day. Attendees gathered at the site, offering heartfelt tefillos and taking a moment for reflection.
During the afternoon seder, participants were treated to a shiur hakdamah from Rav Asher Weiss, Av Beis Din of Darchei Torah and Rosh Mosdos Minchas Asher. His brilliant shiur, which delved into the finer details of the sugya, captivated the lomdim with his thorough understanding and mastery of the subject matter.
Rav Pinchos Friedman, Rosh Hakollelim of Belz, then offered powerful divrei chizuk and hisorerus, inspiring all who were present. His words of chizuk resonated deeply.
During dinner, Rav Yitzchok Berkovits, Rosh Yeshiva of Yeshiva Aish HaTorah and Rosh Kollel of the Jerusalem Kollel, delivered a stirring drasha on the importance of being nosei b’ohl im chaveiro. His message was particularly moving as he spoke of the sacrifices of those in Eretz Yisroel who are giving their lives and risking their safety to protect the land and the Jewish people. He hailed those who have come to Eretz Yisroel to spend a week immersed in limud haTorah, celebrating their dedication.
The evening concluded with a shiur halacha l’maaseh on the sugya from Rav Chaim Mayer Roth, Rav of Bais Medrash Sterling Forest-Sefard in Lakewood and Dayan with Bais Din Maysharim. His practical introduction to the sugya and clear insights were a fitting way to end the day.
The Yarchei Kallah, as in past years, is an extraordinary event, filled with opportunities for hasmadah, aliyah, and chizuk. The participants are uplifted and energized, their hearts and minds enriched by the koach haTorah. Truly, the Yarchei Kallah is a shining example of how the power of limud haTorah can elevate one and all.
