The Mir Yeshiva of Yerushalayim has provided an update to the parents of their bochurim, saying in a new message that they will be closing its satellite locations in the US and return all of its operations to the US – noting that “given the current conditions, it is now clear that it is possible to comfortably and confidently return to Eretz Yisroel.” The yeshiva sent out the following letter to parents: With חסדי שמים , we have witnessed a distinct סייעתא דשמיא at work in the learning established for the בחורים of the Yeshiva here in the USA. As you surely know, the Yeshiva has gone to great lengths and invested substantial efforts so that the בחורים of Yeshiva can immerse themselves in learning. Indeed, our dear בחורים are sitting and toiling in their learning with great diligence and התמדה , achieving remarkable הצלחה . Yet, at this time, we must firmly heed the unequivocal call and הוראה of the ראש הישיבה שליט”א , in conjunction with other גדולי ישראל . Given the current conditions, it is now clear that it is possible to comfortably and confidently return to Eretz Yisrael, to learn within the ישיבה הקדושה , where the true עיקר of הצלחה in Torah learning and עליה רוחנית is achieved. And the Rosh Hayeshiva said that the special סייעתא דשמיא that תורה מגנא ומצלא these days to the Talmidei Hayeshiva is to those who Shteig in all sedorim and Tfilos of the Yeshiva including Friday and Shabbos. Therefore, it is expected that each and every one return as soon as feasible to the Yeshiva in Eretz Yisrael, to rejoin their חב ו רה and רב נ ים within the ישיבה הקדושה . Consequently, this temporary learning arrangement in Woodbourne will remain open only until Thursday after morning Seder, the 11th of Cheshvan. May the Ribbono shel Olam help us in witnessing ישועות and נחמות , and see many nachas from our children. (YWN World Headquarters – NYC)
