The Song of Lemekh –
The First Song in the Bible
by Harav Yaakov Medan
In Parashat Bereishit, we read the song of Lemekh, the descendant of Kayin. What is the meaning of this song, and why did the Torah find it necessary to teach it to us?

We are pleased to announce the publication of the book 'Kol Yehuda' by Moreinu Harav Yehuda Amital, sichot on the weekly parashot. The book was edited by Rav Yaakov Fischer. "There was a simple and great truth in the things he told us, sobriety and wisdom of life. Things came out of the week's parasha, but they always touched our lives, were relevant and illuminating as a doctrine of life, and had full internal coverage. They were said as if to himself. In deep faith the conversations were said and with sincerity, and they fell lovingly on listening ears and thirsty hearts, arousing our trust and faith."

Excited to open Elul Zman at yeshiva!
The yeshiva staff has prepared for the new school year while thinking hard about solutions that would meet the challenges of Corona. As part of these preparations, great efforts have been made to bring in students from abroad and isolate them on the yeshiva campus. About two weeks ago, the first group of talmidim arrived in Israel, going straight to solitary confinement until Rosh Chodesh morning (Thursday Aug 20th). The shana bet students who arrived at the yeshiva early chose this in order to start the Elul zman after isolation, and will be able to study in the beit midrash while maintaining all guidelines (capsules, etc.). They have now been joined on campus by another 66 talmidim, entering their two weeks of isolation. An article was published about the assessments and preparations that were made, including an interview with Rabbi Eli Weber, head of our William Major Program for Overseas Students.
Praying for all those who need healing, sending comfort to those who are grieving, and courage for all those in need. Praying for the safe 're-entry' of our entire extended Gush family, Am Yisrael and Humanity. Link to the article >>
