In what has become a yearly tradition, bochurim from Chabad Yeshivos from across Israel will unite and spend a full Shabbos together in preparation for Gimmel Tammuz, the Rebbe’s yahrzeit.
It is being organized by the Israeli branch of Vaad Talmidei Hatmimim.
The “Shabbos Hachono” this coming weekend will take place in Kfar Chabad and will be attended by Roshei Yeshiva, Mashpi’im, Rabbonim and Shluchim who will share their words of inspiration to strengthen hiskashrus.
On Motzoei Shabbos, a large Melave Malka will be held with a keynote address by the Shabbos Hachono’s guest speaker, Rabbi Ezra Shochet, Rosh Yeshiva Ohr Elchanan – Chabad in Los Angeles and a world-renowned Gaon and educator.
“This Shabbos has become an integral part of the Tmimim’s spiritual preperation for Gimmel Tammuz,” Vaad Hatmimim told COLlive. “This is attested to by the yearly increase of participants, as well as the avid interest and anticipation displayed by the Tmimim in the past few weeks.”
the fact that he continues even more then before, lizchus his beloved amazing wife obm despite his unbearable pain waiting for the coming of moshiach each and every moment even more so then before, that is unsurpassed…may the aibeshter continue to give him arichus yamim vshonim tovos amen!!
all these comments have one thing in common. Rabbi shochet is amazing. don’t take my word for it, if your in mesivtah looking to attend zal go experience it for your self.
the rosh.. heads….
I still remember him quietly entering our dorm room and waking us up with a kvort of water when we were sleeping instead of being at tehilim or chassidus on shabbos morning. Ah, such fond memories…
shul rocks and the rosh is not only smart and kind but has an amazing sense of humor
the rosh is amazing:)
The Rosh is totally dedicated to the thousands of students that he has had and Imyirtze hashem the the future students that will come to Ohr Elchonon Chabad. He is totally committed to cary on learning and teaching Nigleh and Chasidus and carry on the work the Rebbe has sent him on
go genni’s grand- father
He is much too smart to get involved in C. H. polics
As a young boy he was called an Iluy by the Rosh Yeshivah of Lakewood ZTL All thr yeshivahs he attended as a bochur he left his mark be it Baltimore Lakewood or Israel everybody wanted him to stay in their circle. But the Rosh was a true chosid of the Rebbe
accept about a few more years and not a day goes by that i don’t think about something i learned or an episode that happened in yeshiva la. i constantly travel to that place and time in my mind all the time!!!!!
the most amazing thing about the rosh is the size of his heart which is equally as big as his brain. i spent 2 years in his yeshiva and those were my best years by far.
Yes about being Rav of Crown Heights with Rav Ezra Schochet there is no fooling around and the job gets done when it needs 2 get down. He has thrown ppl out of the bais medrash in middle of a speech, Rabbi Schochet is the man & he would really clean up crown heights in everyway possible.
Throughout the Lubavitch Yeshivas around the world. This is something very special about Rabbi Ezra Schochet. U don’t find any like him throughout the world. He says things the way they r & is not afraid 2 speak up. He should be the Rav of Crown Heights.
!!!!!!!!
Every time I think about the Rosh, (as well as the other Yeshiva staff, but especially the rosh) my heart gets warm inside and my heart yearns for the 3 wonderful years that I have spent in his yeshiva. I feel so very blessed that my parents were given a very nice tuition break that enabled me to be there. It was my 3 best years of yeshiva.
