In response to the brutal murder of Shluchim to Mumbai Rabbi Gavriel and Rivkah Holtzberg HY”D, thirty yeshivas from around the world, in all time zones and on all continents, are joining together to take on good resolutions in their memory.
Each participating yeshiva is divided into groups, and each group takes on a collective hachlata – good resolution. These resolutions will join thousands of bochurim in a joint effort to spread goodness and light where there is darkness.
“This initiative fits every bochur, wherever he is holding, so all can join,” says one of the organizers. “Anyone can form a group, even if not in a yeshiva. Friends can get together, make a positive hachlata together,” he says.
“When Moishele, Rabbi Holtzberg’s orphaned son, grows up, he will ask what the response to his parents brutal murder was. Was it said to be sad and quickly forgotten, or were lives changed because of it? Were the terrorists sucessful in dimming the light or did the world respond with a more powerful one built through achdus yisrael?”

I agree!
Mr. Great Picture is wrong. He’s afraid that others will be ‘melamed chov’ on the bochur. Something we really need right now.
Mr. Great picture, if you hide other’s faults as we hide our own, the photo shows the tremendous virtue to this bochur.
Perhaps ‘Great Picture’ is jealous?
Mr. Yoyo and Great Picture why are you both afraid to state your names?

Moshiach had BETTER be here by that time!
Moshiach NOW!
Let’s not lose the plot.
This is REALLY what we’re aiming for
it’s natural to fall asleep, shows he was really learning too much.
lets start seeing good instead of bad 😉 ye?
Perhaps the editor should not have chosen a picture where a bochur is sleeping in mit’n fun seder for this article which is supposed to emphasize the new mivtza in honor of the kedoishim.
What about inviting non lubavich yehsivas too?
lets see some reports from the blog posted on the news site
