Rabbi Shlomie Taussig & Akiva Gruman Light Up Yershalayim with “Yeshiva Zitz”

Yeshiva Kinyan Daas in Yerushalayim, headed by Rabbi Moshe Roth, celebrated the Siyum on the Seder Kodshim, combined with Tu Bishvat, in a particularly moving and uplifting event.

During a visit to Eretz Yisroel, the musician Rabbi Shlomie Taussig from the U.S., who maintains a close and ongoing connection with the yeshiva, joined this special Farbrengen. At his request of Shlomie, his close friend, the musician Rabbi Akiva Gruman, also joined the evening—along with musician Nachman Cohen and his orchestra.

During the evening, the great power of kind words between friends was emphasized, with the popular Yiddish song “Ein Gut Vort.” Rabbi Akiva Gruman added a unique touch when he put Yiddish lyrics to the song “Tzi’uka” by Mordechai Ben David, and taught it to the talmidim with great enthusiasm and an atmosphere of elation.

The event left a deep impression on the participants, blending Torah, emotion, music, and encouragement, befitting such a sublime occasion.
