The "Russian" Torah of America NY, Sunday, January 4, 2009

Register online

In the middle of the last century, no yeshivos existed in America. It was said that there will be yeshivos in the USA when hair will start growing on the palms of people's hands.

Rav Aharon Kotler, Rav Yaakov Kamenetzky and Rav Moshe Feinstein were the ones who brought about the rebirth of Torah in America.

It is interesting that all of them were «Russians Jews» — Rav Kamenetzky and Rav Kotler were from Minsk, and Rav Feinstein from Lyuban.

Our teacher Rav Yitzchok Zilber was the one who brought about the rebirth of Torah among the immigrants from the former

Soviet Union. — as Rav Elyashiv put it: He revived dry bones — most Russian-speaking Torah teachers in

Israel and the diaspora are his students.

Toldos Yeshurun, the kiruv organization for Russian Jews, founded by HaRav Yitzchak Zilber, zt"l

proudly remembers 3 Torah Giants who escaped communist

Russia to become foremost leaders of American Jewry

.

They paved the way for every Russian Jew to Come All the Way Home.

You can be part of this historic event by joining us in supporting Toldos Yeshurun.

In continuation of our teacher"s work, we invite you to participate in our «Day of Torah» dedicated to the memory of Rav Moshe Feinstein, Rav Yaakov Kamenetzky and Rav Aharon Kotler.
