The days of the first committee at the 'Ateret Yisrael' yeshiva, and I am immersed in the issue of 'Shtro Bidhu'. First and last, Rashi and Ramban, 'Katzot' and Rabbi Shmuel's lessons. True joy of creation.
Like in the stories, without any exaggeration.
And now the time came when I felt I could 'speak in a learning manner' about my conclusions with no less than the 'Rosh Yeshiva'.

''To speak in learning.' A theoretical term and an operative act that those who have not experienced or used will have difficulty understanding the wonderful world that is contained within it.
Surely the speaker is none other than Rabbi Baruch Mordechai.
The famous "yes" to the knocks on the door (or the appearance at the door of Rebbetzin Shulamit) ushered me inside the living room in the cassotto.
Sitting next to the Rosh Yeshiva was the Gaon Rabbi Yehuda Adas, Rosh Yeshiva Kol Yaakov.
The head of the yeshiva looked up at me.
I came to 'speak in teaching,' I said simply.
Rabbi Adas leapt from his seat. With all his famous facial expression. A leap whose meaning is exactly what it is.
He is indeed 70 years old, one of the greatest yeshiva heads, with tens of thousands of students behind him, but if an 18-year-old boy comes to speak with the yeshiva head in a study, he must get up and leave.
You don't need to know Rabbi Adas in depth to understand how authentic this little story is, and how instinctive his leap was.
Rabbi Ezrachi asked him to sit and said blessings to me.
I would be happy to talk to you, the thing is, I have one of the 'greatest of generations' sitting next to me, and I can't stop talking to him. Please, again a little later.
I am back.
