Mesivta of Pittsburgh Begins New School Year

Amongst the rolling green hills in Pittsburgh Pennsylvania, the Mesivta of Pittsburgh began the new 5784 school year on a new property.

Rabbi Eliezer Shusterman, Menahel of the Mesivta welcomed the bochurim and their parents. He explained that we are fortunate to have this current large facility in the interim while the construction on the new Yeshiva building is being completed.

In addition to welcoming the Hanhala and the Maggidei Shiur Rabbi Unsdorfer, Rabbi Altein, Rabbi Klein, and Rabbi Goldwasser, he also introduced the newest member of Hanhala, Rabbi Ephraim Lerner. Rabbi Lerner is an extremely dedicated and knowledgeable maggid shiur and mashpia who has experience both mentoring and teaching teenagers, as well as having much energy and enthusiasm.

Rabbi Shusterman mentioned, “We are looking forward to a year of growth in our learning, Chassidishkeit, and Hiskashrus, etc..”

Rabbi Yossi Rosenblum, Head of Yeshiva Schools spoke to the crowd. He mentioned that in addition to the importance of the academic component of learning, we also benefit from the ‘Avir’/the environment of the Mesivta setting overall.

“Throughout this school year, we have an opportunity to eat together, to farbreng together, to grow as a mentch, and to succeed together in all areas,” Rabbi Rosenblum said.

Of the more than 40 bochurim in the Mesivta (many from out-of-town cities) all are already enjoying the learning, outdoor space, game areas, dorm rooms, friendships, mealtimes, and farbrengens.
