The Legacy Lives On

MESSAGE

FROM THE MENAHEL RUCHANI

vjnac ohcrn rst xbfban. h"ar explains ktrahk uhv ohxhb hnh
jxpu ohrup, we increase our vjna during the month
of rst because we remember the ohxhbוthat Hashem
performed for ktrah kkf in the past on ohrup and jxp.
The vjna that a Yid feels is not a transient
superficial feeling. It is a deep feeling of
acknowledgement for Hashem’s connection
with Him, which – in the case of ohrupוand jxp – was demonstrated by Hashem’s
miraculous salvation of ktrah kkf. There is no greater happiness for an individual
Yid than the knowledge that Hashem cares for him.
oav lurc in the past three years since the formation of the Yeshiva, we have been
vfuz to see Hashem’s care for us. Step by step, he has held our hands and brought
our dream to fruition – so that today we could proudly proclaim vkhdb uk ubhue ouhv vz
u,guahc vjnabu.
This thnas t,ghhx is a sucfוto our visionary grandfather, Harav Hagaon R’ Chaim
Kreiswirth k"mz, whose ideals the Yeshiva is striving to embody. We saw his deep
“iumr” to bring the lrsוof the pre-war vru,v okugוto the post-war generation, and were
inspired to continue with his work. We believe our success is due, in a large
measure, to his ,ufz.
Although, ultimately, our success is dependent on v"cev, this does not diminish our
appreciation for those individuals who contribute greatly to our efforts – becoming
Hashem’s representatives in this great endeavor:
First, we need to thank those individuals who from the outset of this endeavor
and to this day help in practical ways turn our dream into a reality. These are
individuals who have selflessly devoted their time and resources to the formation,
growth and continued success of the Yeshiva. They have concerned themselves
at great expense with the most mundane and basic aspects of organizing and
managing the Yeshiva and have been crucial to its success. Among these
individuals, two stand out and need to be recognized; they are R’ Sholmo Bronner
and R’ Ephraim Kutner. These individuals stood up to carry the burdens and
responsibilities associated with establishing and managing the Yeshiva when
those burdens and responsibilities seemed overwhelming.
