Quiet week ahead of Eilat/Mitzpe tiyul; Mazal Tov R' Susman; R' Zeigler on The Rav Week in Review By Rav Yitz
After the excitement of the previous week, this week was a week with no real distractions. We had a full week or learning with "only" one guest speaker. R' Reuven Ziegler, marking the publication of his new book about the Rav "Majesty and Humility", spoke about "Self-Revelation in Rav Soloveitchik's Writings".
Next week we head to Eilat on Wednesday and from there to a special Shabbat in Mitzpe Ramon.
MAZAL TOV to our Rosh HaYeshiva, R' Susman, on the engagement of his daughter Dvoranit to Rami Schwartz!
Condolences to Motti Yaron (head of our maintenance) on the untimely passing of his brother.
Shabbat Shalom! Dvar Torah Parshat Bo By Rav Alex
