Lomdim Unite To Mekabel Torah At Dirshu’s Kinus Olam HaTorah Maamad

By FrumNews.com

On Sunday evening, at the Prudential Arena in Newark, NJ, thousands of Lomdei Torah united, k’ish echad b’lev echad, for a once-in-a-lifetime experience at Dirshu’s Kinnus Olam HaTorah. It is there that Lomdei Torah collectively was mekabel Shabbos by undertaking to start learning Hilchos Shabbos in Dirshu’s daily Daf HaYomi B’Halacha program.

“The greatest zechus that a person can have to bring with him to the upcoming Yom Tov of Kabbolas HaTorah when we are all seeking ways to strengthen our bond with Torah and with Hashem, is Kabbolas Shabbos!” Organizers stated.

The spectacular Kinnus Olam HaTorah was a maamad, a tremendous maamad of chizuk, kabbolas ol malchus shomayim and kabbolas ol haTorah. Leading Gedolei Yisrael from both Eretz Yisrael and America addressed the event live and via video, giving over the daas Torah and guidance on how we should conduct ourselves during these difficult times.

Gedolei Yisrael, including luminaries such as the venerated Roshei Yeshiva of the Slabodka Yeshiva, HaGaon HaRav Dov Landau, shlita, Harav David Ozeri Shlita, Harav Zev Smith Shlita, and HaGaon HaRav Moshe Hillel Hirsch, shlita, gave over the call of the hour is, and what every Yid can do to invoke rachamei shomayim.

The participants davened together with the gaon, tzaddik and mekubal, HaRav Shimon Galei, shlita, and were with him as he inspired the crowd to new heights in advance of Kabbolas HaTorah. We will be able to prepare for Shavuos with a powerful, practical message and guidance from

HaGaon HaRav Yitzchok Sorotzkin, shlita, Rosh Yeshiva of the Lakewood Mesivta and Telshe, gave conveyed the “Call of the Hour” to Klal Yisrael and taught how to prepare for Shavuos with a powerful, practical message.

Reb Dovid Hofsteder, founder and Nasi of Dirshu, and mechaber of the Dorash Dovid seforim and sefer Moed L’Dovid, also addressed the crowd.

Music was led by singers, Baruch Levine, Naftali Kempeh, Zandvil and Hershy Weinberger and joined by the Freilach Choir and Shira band

Most important, however, is the ultimate objective of this historic gathering. To follow and heed the call of the Gedolei Yisrael who represent the entire spectrum of Torah Jewry to encourage and ensure that every Frum Yid, whether he is a ben yeshiva or kollel yungerman, a businessman or professional, should undertake to learn hilchos Shabbos. What better opportunity than right now, Erev Shavuos, when the Daf HaYomi B’Halacha program begins Chelek Gimmel of Mishnah Berurah with the start of hilchos Shabbos while simultaneously, Dirshu’s popular, new Amud HaYomi program is in the middle of Masechta Shabbos?!

In advance of the previous machzor of Daf HaYomi B’Halacha when the program began learning hilchos Shabbos, the venerated Rosh Yeshiva of Ponovezh, HaGaon HaRav Gershon Edelstein, zt”l, was asked to give over a message. He said, “It is well known that from a lack of knowledge of hilchos Shabbos, a person can transgress Torah-mandated prohibitions. It is so important to learn Mishnah Berurah daily! Learning Mishnah Berurah daily is mamesh hatzolas nefashos!”

Klal Yisrael so desperately needs shemira today, and the key to that shemira is Shabbos! It is in our hands! That is what the Gedolei Yisrael, Rav Dov Landau and Rav Yitzchok Zilberstein taught us. That is what the Vizhnitzer Rebbe and Rav Reuven Elbaz taught us. Now, all we have to do is be mekabel Shabbos!
