After raising nearly $90 million: Yeshiva head Rabbi Hirsch, who landed at Ben Gurion Airport this afternoon (Wednesday) after a trip to the United States for the World Torah Fund, was received by yeshiva heads and public figures at the Fattal Terminal, where he revealed that the donations this time were even larger than in the previous round - and that, surprisingly, a larger amount was raised than last year.
The dream comes true: Want a good salary? A secure job? Good conditions? Come to the police.
The Grand Master Hirsch took off for a trip to the US on Tuesday two weeks ago, two days before the outbreak of Operation 'Am Kalavi'.
The participants at the reception were members of the Council of Torah Scholars of Degel - Rosh Yeshiva Maor Talmud Gra"i HaCohen Kook, Rosh Yeshiva Mir Gra"i Finkel, member of the Council of Torah Sages Gra"i Salim, Rosh Yeshiva Ponevezh Grach"p Berman, Rosh Yeshiva Be'er Yaakov HaGardi"i Shapira, Rosh Yeshiva Be'er HaTorah Gragi Levi, Rosh Yeshiva Mishnat Akiva HaGari Ehrenfeld, Rosh Yeshiva Knesset Yechezkel Gra"i Ettinger, Rosh Yeshiva Maor Yitzhak Hamed Gra"i Jacobson, Rosh Yeshiva Keter Torah Gra"i Ziskind, and more.
Upon the yeshiva's landing at the airport, he was greeted by the chairman of the United Torah Judaism faction, MK Yitzhak Pindaros, and his chief of staff, Moshe Rabar, who managed the operation in front of the Ben Gurion Airport authorities and the Israel Police. A large police force secured the event in order to arrange the safe entry of the Jewish dignitaries and the collectors into the Fattal compound.
As the Rosh Yeshiva entered the conference hall in Fattal, the great men of Israel stood in his honor and shook his hands with a greeting of "Welcome" and "Shalom Aleichem.".
Afterwards, the Rosh Yeshiva gave a speech of thanksgiving to God for the success of the journey for the 'Keren Olam HaTorah'.
The Rosh Yeshiva said: "Before, there was a fear that people would say, 'You promised it would only be one time,' but in fact it was exactly the opposite. It was truly wonderful! People donated twice as much as last year. The attitude was that they would give more this year. That was the attitude. Rabbi Shimon Glick said he had one question - what happened to the evil inclination? Did it go to sleep? It was truly a most wonderful thing. The public participated with the Keren Olam HaTorah.".
Afterwards, council members Grai Kook, Grai Salim, Grai Finkel, and Rosh Yeshiva of Ponevezh Grach Berman delivered speeches - thanking on behalf of the world of Torah the Rosh Yeshiva, who carries on his shoulders the world of Torah in Israel and abroad, both spiritually and materially.
From there, the rabbi continued to his residence at Givat HaYeshiva in Bnei Brak, where he returned to diligently study his Talmud and organize his studies and reception of audiences.
