~ Message From The Rosh Hayeshiva ~

Rabbi Moshe Meiselman ‫שליט”א‬ ‫בכל מקום אשר אזכיר את שמי אבא אליך וברכתיך‬

‫ אשר אתן לך רשות‬- ‫ אזכיר את שמי‬- ‫רש”י‬

Twenty eight years ago, the Ribbono Shel Olom gave me the rshus and zchus to be ‫ מזכיר שמו‬in Yerushalayim and I was able to found Yeshivas Toras Moshe, named for my sainted grandfather Rav Moshe Soloveichik ‫זצ”ל‬. During the years we have been zocheh to be maamid talmidim harbeh with over one thousand talmidim have passed through our doors. A formal gathering of parents, alumni and friends forces us to be introspective and to reflect on the past and what this tells us about the future. Our goal with our talmidim has been multiple. First, to instill in them ahavas Torah ve’yiras shomayim that will accompany them throughout their lives, whether they remain within the walls of the bais medrash or not. During the day to day trials of life, one is continually confronted with nisyonos that force a person to think about his priorities. He is always forced to decide what is ikar in his life and what is tofel. It is at these instances that those years in yeshiva come to the fore. Especially when one leaves the koslay bais hamedrash the ahavas Torah and yiras shomayim that one has absorbed in yeshiva is drawn upon and utilized daily so that one can maintain the same standards that one had when one was within the koslay bais hamedrash. Second, we have tried to train our talmidim to understand Torah in a deep and sophisticated manner, so that limud haTorah will be an integral part of their lives forever. Ongoing limud haTorah connects someone to the Torah daily and enables one to focus on shivisi haShem lenegdi tomid. Furthermore, a deep havonas haTorah enables a person to establish his priorities in a world of confused values and priorities. The most important lessons one takes out of yeshiva are the ones mentioned. These are the lessons that enable one to remain a ben Torah throughout his life, wherever that may take him. The entire staff of Toras Moshe is continually available to its talmidim and alumni whenever they may be needed. Our concern does not end when our talmidim leave the yeshiva. It is a lifelong commitment on our part. We view the Toras Moshe community as an extended family. We are there to help you and hope that you are there to help us.

Furthermore, even someone who has fulfilled the Torah, learned the Torah, taught the Torah and had the opportunity tobe mechazek the Torah, and did not, is to be orur. Hachzokas haTorah is an absolute requirement for every Jew. We have no option. This is not for a select few. Every Jew has to use every one of his abilities to be mechazek the Torah. We are required to make a difference. This is a message that we have taught all of our talmidim. Build yourself, keep growing in Torah your entire life and be mechazek the Torah wherever you can. Different people do this in different ways. Our alumni have entered many different areas of life. Some have stayed within the koslay bais hamedrash. Some have become klay kodesh, involved in harbotzasTorah throughout the world. Some have become lay leaders throughout the world. During their time in yeshiva, we have taught our talmidim that when they enter the world they must be sure to make a difference. Our talmidim are spread throughout the world. They are making a difference as klay kodesh throughout the world. They have built communities or strengthened communities throughout the world. They have taken leadership positions as baal habatim throughout the world. We salute all of our talmidim and urge every one to become involved. We are living in tumultuous times. The world is changing. It is by the collective efforts of all of us that it can change to make Torah strong. Iy”h through our collective efforts of making Torah strong, we will be zocheh to see the coming of Moshiach bimehairoh biyomainu.

Yeshivas Toras Moshe: At A Glance Among the dozens of American yeshivos in Eretz Yisroel, Toras Moshe has long maintained its own unique identity and reputation. With a total of 140 talmidim, including those in both the Bais Medrash and the Kollel, Toras Moshe is far from the largest American yeshiva in Eretz Yisroel, but that is by design. Its size helps to make possible the highly personalized, intense learning environment in which no talmid is ever allowed to “slip between the cracks.” Before any boy is admitted to Toras Moshe, he must first establish both his abilities and motivations to become an outstanding Ben Torah, and is then made aware that the yeshiva will expect his very best effort and performance at all times. The results speak for themselves. Toras Moshe products are in demand by the leading yeshivos in Eretz Yisroel and the United States. Most American students coming to Toras Moshe after graduating yeshiva high school stay for at least two years, and quickly become part of a tightly knit community in which they are constantly interacting with chavrusos, roommates, older bochurim and kollel members as well as the rabbeim on the faculty. As Rabbi Chuli Kalish, who attended Toras Moshe from 1999-2004, explains, Toras Moshe is not a “buffet style” yeshiva, where an American student is expected to pick his own shiur, find his own chavrusa and largely fend for himself. One of the distinguishing features of Toras Moshe is its hands-on guidance for every Talmid, not just in shiurim and the bais medrash, but also in every other aspect of their life in yeshiva, and in their personal development as Bnei Torah. One notable departure from the practice in most yeshivos is the assignment of a number of Toras Moshe’s older avreichim to serve as assistant mashgichim, helping to give mussar and to supervise the younger students. Their encouragement and personal guidance is particularly important to newly arrived students, helping them to adjust to Toras Moshe’s more intensive learning environment. As Rabbi Jay Kosowsky, who learned at Toras Moshe for over ten years, described, while many yeshivos have an intensive learning environment in the bais medrash and in shiur, at Toras Moshe, the learning never stops. Spreading beyond the bais medrash, permeating the dining room at mealtime and in the dormitory rooms after hour, the discussions in learning continue at full intensity, with talmidim from different shiurim exchanging the insights of their rabbeim and chavrusos into the sugya being learned. This creates an atmosphere of intellectual exploration and discovery which raises the learning to a higher level. It is the start of what, for almost all of Toras Moshe’s talmidim, will be a life-long love affair with the learning of a blatt gemora. The talmidim are encouraged to diversify their Torah studies and to explore their specific interests in order to acquire both a broad-based and comprehensive Torah perspective that a true Ben Torah needs.

The Vilna Gaon & Torah in America The late 1700s was almost two centuries before the introduction of mass media communication. Thus, each of the world’s various regions focused on its own particular affairs: Catherine the Great was placed on the throne in Russia after a palace revolt. Frederick the Great became a patron of artists and philosophers in Prussia, and Chienlung emerged as the greatest of the Manchus. The item claiming the most attention at the time was a nascent republic in the west. A country mostly inhabited by Indians, its capital at the time, in New York, would some day become the port and haven for millions of immigrants and refugees. One place where none of the attention of the world was directed was a humble beis midrash in Vilna. In this bare study hall, graced, by narrow wooden benches and rickety tables, sat the master with several devoted disciples at his feet. “My dear students,” began the Gaon of Vilna, “we must reach out to our brethren, wherever they may be. Yeshivos must be established to nourish the Torah-starved masses.” He then added, “Only when Torah as been disseminated throughout the world can it return to the Holy Land. This is a prerequisite for the arrival ofthe Moshiach.” Rav Chaim of Volozhin had never left the company of the Gaon, yet he had never heard his master speak in this manner. Was his rebbi revealing anexample of his clairvoyancy? His curiosity was piqued. “What,” asked Rav Chaim, “will be the last place that Torah will have to reach before it returns to Eretz Yisroel?” The Gaon remained silent for a brief moment. Apparently, he understood global events far better and deeper than all the contemporary political scientists and news watchers. He breathed awistful sigh and responded, “America will have to become a makom Torah before Torah returns to Eretz Yisroel and the Moshiach will come.” Rav Chaim Volozhiner would never forget his rebbi’s words. Decades later, in a beis midrash in Volozhin, he repeated the incident to a large crowd during a seudah shlishis. Rav Chaim’s audience was comprised of young scholars, men never privileged to see the Gaon in their lifetime.

The attentive students sat at the very edge of their benches as the story was told. They were amazed and visibly moved by what they heard, and even more astounded by their rebbi’s reaction. Rav Chaim appeared physically pained. In seconds, he entered a fit of uncontrolled crying. Rav Chaim’s son, Reb Yitzalla sat dumbfounded at his father’s unrestrained outburst of emotion. Reb David Tevel, one day to be known as the author of Nachlas David, stammered, “Why, why is the rebbi reacting in such a manner to the Gaon’s prediction?” “Do you have any idea whatsoever,” explained Rav Chaim to his concerned audience, “how much self-sacrifice and deprivation it will take to turn America into a makom Torah? Do you have any idea of how many korbonos the Jewish people will have to suffer to achieve this? At this somber prospect I weep.” The students were deeply touched by what they had heard and seen. Clearly the Gaon and his students had a profound appreciation of what would transpire inthe New World. One hundred years later, the Gaon’s forecast of America as the one-before-the-final venue seemed no more fulfilled than it had in 1790. It was a particularly cold Shabbos morning in the town of Volozhin. Strong gusts of frigid wind rattled the shutters, as if to confirm that the conditions outside had not changed. Inside the crowded beis midrash, however, there was warmth and joy, coziness and celebration. The very sight of so many outstanding Torah scholars couldhave melted the iciest heart. Rav Chaim Soloveichik was obviously proud of his son Moshe, on this, his bar mitzvah day. So too were the great-grandfather, the Netziv and grandfather, the Bais Halevi, who had graced the celebration with their presence. Moshe’s entry into the realm of mitzvos added another firm link into one of Jewry’s most illustrious chains and the alter-zeide, the Netziv, felt a need to express his emotions. “Many years ago,” he began, “I heard a story from my father-in-law and rebbi, Reb Yitzalla, the son of Rav Chaim Volozhiner. At the time, I didn’t understand the special significance of what he was saying, and in fact, neither did Reb Yitzalla, when he first heard the story. But, I am older and wiser now.” “Everyone present knows how we are suffering and what lies ahead of us….” No doubt the Netziv was referring to the plot incited by the so-called“Enlightenists” to introduce secular subjects into the Yeshiva of Volozhin. So far he had delayed, in fact ignored, implementing the reforms that the governmenthad ordered. There was a limit, however, to how long the Russian officials could look the other way. Less than one year later, the gates of the famed Yeshivas Etz Chaim, the Volozhiner Yeshiva, would be sealed under police edict.

With tremendous admiration, we join Yeshivas Toras Moshe in honoring Rabbi and Mrs. Zev Klein this evening. May all the hard work that you pour into the Yeshiva each day continue to inspire those around you the way it so evidently has been until now. Sara Klein's precious neshama was taken tragically and our hearts are broken without her. May the Sara Klein Chesed Fund be an Aliyah for her beautiful pure neshama in assisting those in need the way Sara would have.

And so my dear Moshe’le,” the Netziv continued, his nachas now giving way to melancholy,” I wish to tell you a story….” The Netziv proceeded to relate the prediction that the Vilna Gaon had made one hundred years earlier and how Rav Chaim of Volozhin had reacted to his master’s words. Only when Torah has been disseminated throughout the world, and America becomes a makom Torah, can it return to Eretz Yisroel—and then Moshiach will come. Four decades later, when the bar mitzvah boy, Rav Moshe Soloveichik was already an accomplished Torah giant, he had to make the most important decision of his life. It was clear that he had to leave Europe, but the question was to where. The more Rav Moshe thought about the decision, the clearer it became. The tears of Rav Chaim Volozhiner penetrated his very soul and convinced him ofthe need to head west to a country whose capital had moved to Washington but whose center of Jewry remained in New York. The disciple of the Gaon had foreseen the tremendous self-sacrifice which would be involved in transforming America into a makom Torah, but the young scholar would not absolve himself of his responsibility. This was the legacy which he had inherited from his great-grandfather, and the one which he would pass on tohis children. He prayed that his grandchildren would merit the denouement that the Gaon had assured; that they would be privileged to be part of the return of Torah to the land of Israel, and hasten the arrival of the Moshiach. Yeshivas Toras Moshe, named for Rav Moshe Soloveichik, was founded in 1982 by his grandson, Rav Moshe Meiselman. Imbued by the twin ideals oftransforming America into a makom Torah and the return of Torah to Eretz Yisroel, he founded a yeshiva for the highly motivated America talmid, who aspires to achieve unprecedented Torah heights in Eretz Yisroel. Already, hundreds of talmidim have passed through its doors, many returning toAmerica to continue the process of turning America into a makom Torah. Many have remained in Eretz Yisroel to be part of the return of Torah to its home. All are fulfillments of the Vilna Gaon’s prediction that America will be transformed into a makom Torah and that ultimately Torah would return to Eretz Yisroel. ’’‫’’כי מציון תצא תורה ודבר ה‘ מירושלים‬

~ Guest of Honor ~

Rabbi Zev Klein ‫שליט”א‬ Rabbi Zev Klein, longtime rebbi at Yeshivas Toras Moshe, is Guest of Honor at this year’s 28th Anniversary Tribute Dinner. Rabbi Klein is a favorite of many of the talmidim at the Yeshiva, and is known for his warm personality and the close bonds that he is able to form with so many of his students. Talmidim highlighted Rabbi Klein’s dedication to setting up sedorim between him and his talmidim during lunch hour, after night seder, and on Shabbos, and the devotion he has to each and every talmid, making himself totally available for them at any time. He is able form extraordinary connections with so many of his students, and maintains relationships with them long after they have left the Yeshiva’s physical building. To give just one example, Rabbi Klein gives a weekly shiur at the Yeshiva on Fridays on halacha focusing on the week’s parsha, and makes sure to e-mail it to Toras Moshe alumni and anyone else who is interested. So inspired were several talmidim that they brought their copious notes on the shiurim to Rabbi Klein, who then turned it into a sefer for even more people to learn from. That sefer, “Nachlas Tzvi,” has been well received throughout the Torah world.


In honor of all the Honorees

~ Hakoras Hatov Award ~

Reb Zelig Valis ‫שליט”א‬ Reb Zelig Valis, fondly known as “Wallace” by the talmidim of Yeshivas Toras Moshe, will be recognized and shown hakoras hatov by the Yeshiva at its 28th Anniversary Tribute Dinner for creating a home away from home for so many bochurim. The “Wallace” home was right next door to the Yeshiva’s former building, and Reb Valis quickly became much more than a good neighbor who instituted an open-door policy for the students at the Yeshiva on “off” Shabbosim, but a close friend to many who spend time learning at Toras Moshe. Reb Valis’s home is filled with warmth and laughter, and permeated with Torah, attributes that basically describe his character as well. A tremendous masmid, Reb Valis can often be found learning by himself for the entire day. Despite his devotion to learning, Reb Valis has transitioned into a “big brother” and mentor of many talmidim and always has time to talk with them or counsel them on issues of concern. Many of them look forward to his famous “Wallace” cake and chulent on their Shabbosim at the Valis home, where lively Torah discussions take place.

An authentic Yerushalmi, Reb Valis will visit the United States for the first time in his life when he will attend the 28th Anniversary Tribute Dinner.


Mazel Tov to

Zevy & Kelly Klein They are both truly devoted to Torah and Chesed. Toras Moshe Moshe has chosen a well-deserving honoree

Congratulations to tonight's well-deserved honorees, and to the Rosh Yeshiva Yeshiva, Mashgiach Mashgiach, and all the wonderful Rebbeim at Toras Moshe Moshe! With a deep Hakaras Hatov for all you do

Toras Moshe Legacy Experience May 1st- 8th 2011

Last year, the Rosh Yeshiva, Rav Moshe Meiselman, shlit”a, returned from a historic trip to Eastern Europe in a personal journey to connect to his illustrious Torah roots, which date back to Reb Chaim Volozhiner, the founder of the Volozhin Yeshiva, and his great-grandfather, Rav Chaim Brisker. A group of talmidim, parents, and friends joined Rav Meiselman and Harav Michel Shurkin on the trip, witnessing the remnants of illustrious Torah study and grandeur in the major Torah centers that were torn apart and left desolate by the Holocaust. It was at the site of the famed Volozhin Yeshiva – the “Mother of all Yeshivas” – where the hascholas Hashas took place in preparation for the Siyum Hashas that is now being celebrated at the 28th Anniversary Tribute Dinner. Once again, Rav Meiselman plans to take along a group of alumni, parents and layleaders from South Africa, along with alumni and families from the U.S. and Europe, to revisit the Eastern European cities that once thrived with

‫מורינו‬ ‫לכבוד‬ ‫ שליט''א‬,‫קליין‬ ‫זאב‬ ‫הרב‬ Over our years in Rebbi's shiur and in Yeshiva we all feel we gained a tremendous amount from Rebbi. From Rebbi's Gemarah shiur, in which Rebbi would masterfuly weave together all the ideas of the Rishonim and Acharonim, to Rebbi's expansive Friday Halacha shiur, the amount of Torah knowledge given over by Rebbi to us was astounding. However, Rebbi's devotion to his talmidim was most impressive. Whether it meant staying until late at night learning ‫ בחברותא‬or simply lending a talmid a helping hand, Rebbi always made sure to take out time for his talmidim. It is our bracha to Rebbi that he should be able to continue to be ‫ מקיים‬the ‫חזל‬ ‫ מאמר‬of ‫הרבה‬ ‫תלמידים‬ ‫ העמידו‬for many years to come. Mazal Tov Tov!

In memory of my beloved granddaughter,

Sa Sara ra Klein Klein,,

whose life of chesed was already entrenched by the age of 17 While she was alive, and even after her passing, Sara had a special strength that enabled her to bring others closer to Hashem May her midos and maasim tovim be perpetuated through the Sara Klein Chesed Fund at Toras Moshe

Sema Chaimovitz Menora


In honor of my very special son-in-law

Rabbi Zev Klein on this well-deserved tribute from Toras Moshe for his years of outstanding service as a rebbe, often over and above the call of duty Our whole family takes great pride in the accomplishments of Zev and his wife, Kelly Kelly, and their children May they continue to teach Torah and perform maasim tovim for many years to come

‫נשמת‬ ‫ולעילוי‬ ‫עולם‬ ‫לזכר‬ ‫ע''ה‬ ‫קליין‬ ‫שרה‬ Our beloved daughter who was tragically torn from us at the tender age of 17. Sara's love of Hashem fueled her unconditional love and genuine friendship to all she knew. She exuded joy and had a special pleasure in giving, and her love of life was contagious Sara's wholesome trust and unwavering belief in Hashem and His goodness inspired all who knew her. Sara's tefillos were timeless opportunities to ask with innocence and truth from a pure heart, and with ever-present awareness before Whom she stood. She walked humbly with Hashem May we be privileged to carry her memory in our lives and to be a blessing to all we touch.


We would like to express our most sincere condolences to R' Klein and family I want to express my hakoras hatov to R' Zelig Valis for everything he has done for the bochurim I would like to express my deepest hakoras hatov to the Rosh HaYeshiva for everything he's given me and enabling me to become who I am today
