Rav Boruch Mordechai Ezrachi Visits Yeshiva Darchei Torah
T
he talmidim of Yeshiva Darchei Torah’s Mesivta Chaim Shlomo and Beis Medrash Heichal Dovid joyously welcomed one of the most senior and illustrious sages of Klal Yisrael, Hagaon Rav Boruch Mordechai Ezrachi, shlita, last week. Rav Ezrachi serves as the rosh yeshiva of Yeshiva Ateres Yisroel in Kiryat Sefer/Modiin Illit and has taught and developed generations of talmidim. A member of Eretz Yisrael’s Moetzes Gedolei HaTorah, his influence and leadership extend beyond Artzeinu HaKedosha to the global Torah community. The purpose of his trip to the United States was to raise funds for
Ateres Yisroel and to be mechazeik the Torah community in America. His shmuess at Yeshiva Darchei Torah touched on the current state of affairs in Eretz Yisrael as well as a
fascinating and instructive story about Rav Shaul Barzam, zt”l, in his youth. Rav Ezrachi spoke in basic Hebrew; Rav Yaakov Bender, Rosh
HaYeshiva, translated throughout. It was an unforgettable moment – and ma’amad – of kavod haTorah. Watch at Darchei.org/video
