Dozens of bochurim from Yeshivas Torah B’Tifartah, forced to vacate their Elad campus due to the war, have found refuge at Yeshivas Be’er HaTorah in Beit Shemesh, where they are continuing their learning.
The bochurim, residents of Beit Shemesh, joined Yeshivas Be’er HaTorah and took part in a shiur klali delivered by the rosh yeshiva, Rav Gavriel Yosef Levi. The shiur uniquely integrated sugyos from Maseches Sanhedrin, which the Torah B’Tifartah talmidim had been learning, with Maseches Bava Kama, the masechta being studied in Be’er HaTorah.
“It was a deeply uplifting scene,” shared one talmid. “The bais medrash was filled with intense hasmadah and the energy of Torah. Watching bochurim from both yeshivos engaging with each other, connecting the sugyos from both masechtos, created an extraordinary atmosphere of Torah growth.”
The relocation came after Yeshivas Torah B’Tifartah, which numbers around 1,200 talmidim, divided into four temporary branches around the country so the bochurim could remain close to home and near protected spaces. Locations included Bnei Brak (Beis Knesses Chanichei HaYeshivos on Rechov Rambam), Yerushalayim (Beis Knesses Chazon Ish in Ramat Shlomo), Beit Shemesh (Yeshivas Be’er HaTorah – Gil branch), and Modiin Illit
The roshei yeshiva, rabbeim, and ramim are making regular visits to each branch, delivering shiurim.
With the announced ceasefire, the talmidim of Torah B’Tifartah are now preparing to return to their main campus in Elad.
