Maran Hared Lando and the Rebbes: "Do not start Torah studies in the morning""

April 13, 2024   

IDF spokesman Daniel Hagari announced to the public this evening (Saturday night) that starting Sunday, no educational activities will be held. In addition, gatherings throughout the country will be limited to 1,000 people. This is in response to Israel's preparedness for an Iranian attack. As a result, by order of Maran Rosh Yeshiva, Gra"d Lando, and Grama Hirsch, the heads of Torah talmuds of the Lithuanian community received an instruction that "for the time being, Torah talmuds will not open tomorrow morning. A formal announcement will be issued tomorrow morning in accordance with the situation in the coming days." Later, Maran Gra"d Lando's house stated: "Due to the situation, Torah talmuds will not open tomorrow before 10:00 a.m., a new instruction will be given tomorrow at 9:15 a.m." Also by order of the Rebbes of Vizhnitz and Gur, there will be no classes tomorrow in the Hasidic education systems, including in Torah Talmuds throughout the country. Due to the special security situation, the words of Maran HaGal Lando will be published in Yated Ne'eman this morning: "All children who remain at home, parents must ensure that they spend significant time studying with them, and maintain a happy and calm atmosphere at home." The Rosh Yeshiva emphasized: "Of course, we must pray from the depths of our hearts, recite Tehillim frequently, and continue to study Torah diligently, and through this we will be redeemed from all the fears and troubles that befall us and will be saved in eternal salvation - and the main thing is not to get into stress that is of no use.".
