Yeshivat Nesher Hagadol

  Rabbi Apelbaum – Parshas Chayei Sarah  The  פסוק  says –  "ויאמר אברהם אל עבדו זקן ביתו המשל בכל אשר לו שים נא את ידך תחת ירכי. ואשביעך בה'... לא תקח אשה לבני מבנות הכנעני.... כי אל ארצי ואל מולדתי תלך (כ"ד, ב'-ד') . Eliezer  was  אברהם ’s closet Talmid. He was a great צדיק  himself and was trusted to manage  אברהם ’s entire estate so why did אברהם  make  אליעזר  take such a serious oath of  "שים נא ידך תחת ירכי" ? אברהם  insisted that  יצחק  not marry a girl from  כנען , not even  אליעזר ’s daughter who grew up under the influence of  אברהם אבינו  and  שרה אימנו  since she descended from  כנען . Why was  אברהם  more willing for  יצחק  to marry a girl who grew up amongst the influence of  עבודה זרה  rather than  אליעזר ’s daughter who was the top בית יעקב  girl of the generation who’s father was a big  צדיק , a  תלמיד ...

(Yaakov Cohen/Flash90) YERUSHALAYIM  - The Teimani community in Eretz Yisrael mourns the  petirah  of the eldest Teimani Rav, Hagaon Harav Shlomo Korach,  zt”l , Chief Rabbi of Bnei Brak. Harav Korach was 84 at his  petirah . He was unwell in recent months and was hospitalized in Yerushalayim’s Shaarei Zedek hospital, where he passed away early Monday. He was born in Sanaa, Yemen. As a child he learned under the tutelage of Harav Chaim Salah, as well as his grandfather Harav Amram Korach, the last Rav of Yemenite Jewry. His family moved to Eretz Yisrael in 5709/1949, settling in Yerushalayim. One of his sisters “disappeared” as did many of the Yemenite children who moved to Eretz Yisrael during those years. Rav Shlomo learned in Yeshivas Mekor Chaim as ...

  | MAGAZINE FEATURE | FOR ALL AND ONE  By  Menachem Pines   | OCTOBER 19, 2021  ALL CREDIT GOES TO Menachem Pines | AND THE MISHPACHA MAGAZINE Mir Mashgiach Rav Binyamin Finkel extends an embrace to every Jew who wants to grow Photos: Baruch Yaari T en years ago this week, the night after Rav Nosson Tzvi Finkel ztz”l passed away, I was inconsolable — and told as much to Rav Binyamin Finkel, today the beloved mashgiach of Yeshivas Mir, already then a prominent figure in the yeshivah with hundreds of adherents participating in his vaadim. “I just can’t escape the feeling that had Rav Nosson Tzvi been healthy, our generation would have been given an even bigger gift,” I lamented to Rav Binyamin, a cousin by marriage and second-cousin by lineage to the Rosh Yeshivah who — despite being trapped in a pain-filled, Parkinson’s-riddled frame — displayed visionary leadership that grew the yeshivah into a massive Torah empire. “You’re looking at it from a n...

  A Debunk of Yaron Reuven Written on Shevat 30, 5781 All credit goes to https://barukhhashem.neocities.org/ Reuven's followers ^^^ I used to be a follower of Yaron Reuven, a con man and charlatan (though he does believe what he says) who essentially leads a cult of very close-minded cult-followers who accept every baseless claim he makes about the Torah (I know because I was one of them). His entire carreer is just a humongous conglomeration of unsubstantiated claims. What's funnier is that he makes a big deal about him always telling the truth, and in simple terms, and about always linking sources to devrei Torah, and yet never leaves any citations for the lies he makes up. I wonder why? He also has a large cult following of people I call "cult apologetics" that always make comments to his critics along the lines of "He is a wonderful servent of HaShem how dare you speak Lashon HaRa about him!" These comments never really argue anything, but merely claim f...
