The Covid-19 shutdown is coming to an end – at least at the Central Yeshiva Tomchei Tmimim Lubavitch in Kfar Chabad, Israel.
Learning in the yeshiva will be resuming this coming week in its building, the Rosh Yeshiva Rabbi Yosef Yitzchok Belinow announced in a letter on Friday.
He said it has been 2 long months “that we weren’t able to live together “real life” between the walls of the yeshiva and we counted the days with a yearning to accept the Torah in the Yeshiva.”
While a specific day of the week was not given as to when learning will be resuming, he said that it will be done by Shabbos Mevarchim Sivan.
The learning schedule is one more step in Israel’s gradual return to normalcy after the coronavirus pandemic has shut down the country. Rabbis are still hesitant to allow minyanim to take place in shuls and urged to follow health and distancing guidelines.
A source in the Yeshiva said that the dormitory will be reopening as well for bochurim.
Rabbi Belinow praised the bochurim for their “Chassidishe behavior,” learning and davening during the pandemic. He called their stay at home a shlichus that “surely greatly impacted the household members.”
