Summer Holidays at Torah Way

London, 28/08/2012

Shiurim at Torah Way (North London) were a great success this past August /Av during the Bein Hazmanim. When others were on holiday, Shiurim continued as usual at Start Your Day the Torah Way. 

To celebrate the 7^th Anniversary of Torah Way, two sets of a few Shiurim took place this Sunday given over by our regular speakers, on a wide range of topics, the guest speaker being Dayan L.Y Raskin.  

Two Shiurim were also held on Bank Holiday, where Mr Abelesz from Golders Green who related his life experiences during the period immediately after liberation, until he arrived on these shores.

He was ably introduced by his nephew R’ Yeshaya Shulem Gross of Stamford Hill, who expounded on the topic of ‘Zechor’ and ‘Timche’, both being of unique value in Judaism from a Halachic and historic perspective.

Rabbi Yisrael Yaakov Katz enthralled the assembled with his beautiful speech on the timely subject of ‘Elvi’, exhorting us to ‘take refuge’ during this month so as to be able to reflect on our deeds of this past year, much like a person who has accidentally killed another person takes refuge in an ‘Ir Miklot’ where he is kept so that he can reflect on his whole past life and make the necessary adjustments, so required to improve in ways that would have been improbable, were he to remain in his normal routine setting, surrounded by his familiar environment. Similarly, we should invest our efforts during the Elul month to improve our conduct for the new year and the whole future life.

Chaired by Dayan Emanuel Levy of Palmers Green and Southgate synagogue, who gave the annual report, summing up the accumulated Shiurim, which, given on a daily basis six days a week, clocked up to the numerical value of the word Mizmor (293). 

Dayan Dovid Greenhaus of Chassam Sofer Shul gave a very informative shiur on the dinim of the sukkah, followed by a L’chaim, dayan Levy Yitzchak Raskin of Lubavitch shul explained the Gemara in Rosh Hashana: Hashem told the Jewish people: “Say for Me verses of Regency, say for Me verses of remembrance, and with what? With a ram’s horn”. This explained beautifully as always..

R’ Dovid Cohen chanted a chapter of Psalms for the success of the celebration, followed by the event

The organisers thank all those who participated.

PS – if you are featuring this story this week, please could I make 2 impor1tant amendments which were my errors:

1. Reb Menashe Scharf is the founder and leader of SYDtTW in Stamford Hill – they were the first programme in London after Manchester
2. Reb Menachem Dovid Saltzman's name should NOT be associated with Etz Chaim high school in Manchester – he is certainly still a leading Manchester Askan!

Happy to see a draft article – but as I am abroad Tuesday-Thursday I may not be able to get you feedback in time. 

Many thanks

Summary & Photos for press from 2nd Anniv. NW TWay

NW London’s Start Your Day the Torah Way celebrated its 2^nd anniversary on Sunday 18^th November with a specially extended programme of shiurim to mark this special milestone in the programme of daily shiurim by leading speakers every weekday morning, at their regular venue Kehillas Ohel Moshe in Golders Green.

 

Special Guest Speaker was Rabbi Pinchos Schneebalg, Rosh Yeshivas Vizhnitz in North London and son of Manchester’s Dayan Schneebalg, shlita, whose warm and entertaining words and stories contained the more serious message about bridging the gap between the mind and the heart.  The second speaker was Torah Way regular, Rabbi Dovid Roberts, Rav of Kehillas Netzach Yisroel in Edgware and one of London’s most dynamic and popular darshonim.  His shiur focussed on the potency of utilising Torah as the agent of creation to reshape one’s middos and rise above one’s original self.

Other special guests were the founder of Torah Way in Manchester, Mr Menachem Dovid Saltzman – a leading Manchester askan who created the innovative concept some 4 years ago and Mr Menashe Scharf who set up Torah Way in Stamford Hill, alongside the local team of organizers and supporters.

A vote of thanks  to Torah Way was given on behalf of the regular attenders by Mr Doody Rosenberg who voiced the tremendous hakaras hatov felt by  those  who attend each morning in person and the many more nationally and around the world who listen live via Kol Haloshon or by other means.    Mr Saltzman was presented with a commemorative book containing all the eye-catching posters, which are the unique hallmark of the SYDtTW programme, from the last year.. 

Thanks were also extended to the local organizers; to Mr Yankey Wiesenfeld who presents the daily halocho shiur before the main shiur; to the technical team who tape and upload shiurim and to the sponsors.

This week’s programme contains a varied mix of speakers and subjects including Rabbi Shmuel Baron, Rosh Yeshivas Ohr Shmuel, Jerusalem; Rabbi Raphy Garson of Ohr Yisroel, Elstree.  The following week features an array of visiting roshei yeshiva including Rabbi Shaya Karlinsky of Yeshivas Darchei Noam in Jerusalem and Rabbi Dovid Koenig of Kollel Halichos Yerusholayim.

From Ash to Aish

London, 19/04/2010 - day FIVE of Volcanic Ash Episode

For release

From Volcanic Ash to Fiery Torah Aish
Since the outbreak of the Volcanic (Ash) Age era, many Yehiva-Bochurim (Students) are stranded without a readily available solution to their travel arrangements.

A bit of background first:
The usual procedure is for students to break up at the end of Adar and make it back to their respective Yeshiva (Talmudical College) before Rosh Chodesh Iyar, so that they are ready to start the Zman (study term) in good order.
However as the Rebbe of Belz conducts a communal Seder for over 1000 Bochurim (see picture - to follow) the students stay on in Belz for another three weeks, so that they can partcipate in this lofty experience.
Since they arrive three weeks later than most students of other Yeshivas, they also plan their return journey for a week later than the others.

Ad-hoc planning
Once reports started coming in about trouble in the air, all traveling plans were cancelled and about 50 boys are looking forward to an uncertain future: every day the news updates postpone the departure by another six hours - by six hour-intervals . . .
We therefore decided to open up a branch of the Belz Yeshiva in London, as a satellite branch of the Belz Higher Talmudical College Network in Israel, which consists of around half a dozen branches in Jerusalem, Haifa, Bene Beraq, Ashdod, Telz-Stone and Bet Chilkiya.

Nostalgia
This move reminds many old-timers in London of the Belz Yeshiva that opened in the sixties, when circumstances brought about by the six-day war brought about an unflux of Belz Bochurim - who were advised by their respective countries to leave the war zone. The Yeshiva only lasted for about a decade, after it closed for lack of students, due to the overwhelming success of its sister-Yeshiva in Jeruslaem.
Fulfilled expectations
The students proved loyal to their study regimen and showed up on Sunday for the morning session, which culminated with a Shiur (lecture) given by one of the older students. In order to encourage attendance, the Shiur was recorded onto the Kol Haloshon system so that students can now review the lecture at any given time.
The afternoon session similarly ended after a local Rabbi delivered another Shiur which was well attended too.

The same setup is also going on in Manchester and elsewhere, students are itching to return to their places of study and for lack of an alternative they "set up shop" wherever they are. This is in line with their upbringing that the "sitting idle is not in itself considered a sin; however the worst sins could come about from sitting idle" these words were uttered by one of the earlier Hassidic leaders and hold true in this day and age as much as then - if not more!
Wishes and Requests
For now the students have settled in a routine, however their constant worry is not to be starnded without their study partners and spiritual mentors who are going about their regular life without this experience.
Some even contemplates back packing or traveling by car all the way to Greece and from there they would board a ship bound for Israel. Nevertheless, the majority have made peace with the 'matzav'.
As word goes around - more study books are required to cater for the influx of students of other Yeshivas who flock to the new Yeshiva on the Common.

For more on Belz Chassidus (Hassidic Sect) see: http://www.jewpi.com/belz-bar-mitzvah-5770-small-celebration/

FAQ:
Q. How long has this Yeshiva been open:
A. According to our Sefira, it is now Day # 3 of our Yeshiva
Q. Number of boys:
A. between 30 - 40
Q. Where are they from:
A. The overwhelming majority is from Stamford Hill, some are from Clapton and a ouple from South Tottenham.

Some more details:
The Bochurim of the Belz Yeshiva who are stuck in Antwerp also have a Yeshiva, where a steady Magid-Shiur (Lecturer) gives daily Shiurim and meals are provided mornings and afternoons - a proper setup.

There are similar Yeshivas in:
- 27 St Kilda's Road for Bochurim from other Yeshivas
- Sadigura Beis Medrash in Golders Green Road for Mirrer Bochurim

20/04/2010 - Day # 3
Flash update:
Rabbi Moshe Mordechai Eichenstein, The Trisker Rebbe is going to give 'Divrei Chizuk' to the boys and explain the situation from a Torah Perspective. Venue: 98 Clapton Common main Beis Hamedrash, 12:30

21/04/2010 Here is a TxT message that was sent to me at 3:54AM this morning:
"Your son has been confirmed on the ly318 2230 from heathrow
tonight 21 apr . Please confirm you got my text. Thanks "
>From Danny Feld of Feldan Travel< It seems that there is some movement in the air, so I hope to see my son off to Yeshiva tonight, together with his compatriots and pray that they all arrive safely in Eretz.

23 May 2011 12:09 For immediate release, following the Ash Release: Update on Mahara"m Ash Yeshiva, founded during the icelandic Volcanic Ash Eruption in 5770. This is to inform would be students of our temporary Yeshiva, aptly named Yeshivas Mahara"m Ash (the last 'M' stands for my first name...) that this year we will not be able to accommodate any new students. Any bochur looking for action should refrain from creating more Ash - especially near the Pond off the Belz Compound.

Hi,

Just had a peek over the fence into the NW London Web Site - Nice work there!

I am of the opinion that the meeting should ideally be covering:
Move forward in unison - whatever happens in M/C /NL / NWL should be duplicated (if possible) in N & NW London
Pass on names of best grade speakers and pensil them in for all three locations, according to on-line scheduling software
Hash out a deal across the board with the Tribune / HaModia for a weekly spot colour page
Line up weekly sponsors to cover the cost of item 3.
Sponsors to get a mention on print, online, audio and other media to further their pound for pound spend
Reduce duplication to the Minimum; combine resources to the Maximum
Ensure the TorahWay concept gets front row coverage in national events (i.e. Yarchei Kalloh, Aguda Convention, etc.)
Regional TorahWay events; outlying communities should benefit from Audio-Visual participation using WebCast
Enlist the help of the United Synagogues / Federation of Synagogues / Sefardi infrastructures and reach: details to follow
Set up nucleus of TorahWay volunteers to help enhance and improve the quality/quantity of content delivery
As we briefly discussed it, take TorahWay abroad: The US, Antwerp etc.
How to deal with the covert and overt advances of the Aguda in Great Britain
Once we decide where to meet, I hope you will have the opportunity to understand and appreciate some or even all of the above points.
