Tamchin Daorita: This morning, the head of the Issachar Be'alich network of kollelim, Rabbi Elchanan Weisbord, entered the residence of Rabbi Steinman to receive his blessing before setting off on a fundraising trip abroad.
Rabbi Weisbord told the Grail that he needed to travel abroad to collect donations for the 1,400 avrechim who study with him.
""I think the gentlemen are a little tired of seeing me," said Rabbi Weisbord. And the rabbi smiled and asked: "Are they afraid of you?""

Rabbi Weisbord asked what to say to the men to persuade them to donate. "Doesn't the man have to eat every day?" The rabbi replied, "Tell him why? You've already eaten something. You have to eat every day. And don't they (the young men) have to eat every day? Every human being is like that. You can't eat once for a lifetime. Even manna would come down every day, and it was impossible for manna to come down once for a lifetime.".
The Grail noticed the photographer in the room. "Is he taking photos? Did you bring him?" he asked.
""Yes," replied Rabbi Weisbord. And the rabbi pressed again: "For what?""
""Because it remains a souvenir," explained the head of the kollel. And the MGB Rabbi Isser added again, """He brought it because now he is showing them what the yeshiva head told him to tell the gentlemen.".
The gra'il approached the photographer (in a segment that was omitted in the editing), and asked who he was and where he studied.
At the end of the speech, the Grail personally addressed the gentlemen and congratulated them: "May the donors succeed. It is written ten so that you may become rich. A gut yar, a gut yar (a good year, a good year).".
