Yeshivas Kayitz Pauses Trip to Assist in Burial

Bochurim spending the summer at Yeshivas Kayitz Or Menachem in Napierville, Quebec, woke up early Monday morning to the exciting news that they will be going on a 3-day trip to the Niagara Falls.

After Davening and learning, the bochurim made their way to the Yeshivas Kayitz’s privately owned vehicles, for a six-hour ride to Earl Bales Park in North York, Ontario, were the bochurim enjoyed a lavish BBQ for dinner, followed by a Farbrengen into the wee hours of the morning, with Rabbi Dov Schochet.

“One should never go a day without learning,” was on the Bochurim’s minds when they woke up early Tuesday morning. They made their way over to the Toronto yeshiva, for a full Seder Chassidus and Nigleh, ending with a special Shiur by the Rosh yeshiva Rabbi Akiva Wagner.

After the learning, they drove to Niagara Falls for a day full of fun and excitement, from Ripley’s Believe It or Not, to a mirror maze and haunted house (of course, not to mention the occasional tefillin with fellow visitors here and there). The bochurim didn’t waste any time, heading over to the falls to watch the sunset while enjoying a Geshmake Kumzitz, and ending the day with a midnight swim.

The Bochurim awoke to the gorgeous sunrise over Lake Ontario, again to start their day with Davening and learning at Chabad of Niagara’s beautiful 24-hour Beis Medrash, followed by exciting activities, including jet boating and Go Karting.

In the middle of the day, the Bochurim paused what they were doing, and went to make a minyan for the burial of a Yid who passed away the previous night. After a long day, the Bachurim settled into the vehicles to return to Yeshiva.

Rejuvenated and refreshed, the Bachurim are continuing to utilize their time learning and Davening, and preparing the world to greet Moshiach.

The Yeshivas Kayitz thanked Rabbi Akiva Wagner for the beautiful shiur, and Rabbi Zalman Zaltzman of Chabad at Niagara for making a getaway for Torah amongst the bustling and attractive city, a place where thousands of tourists stop by annually to enjoy well air-conditioned and fully stocked Beis Medrash, may you both see Hashems Brachos in all your endeavors.
