Yeshivat Merkaz Harav - A Year Since The Devastation

Two extremely powerful and emotional videos highlighting how the Yeshivat Yerushalayim L'Tzeirim (Yashlatz High School) dealt with the aftermath of the shocking and devastating terrorist attack at the campus they share with Yeshivat Mercaz HaRav*(see note below), on Rosh Chodesh Adar 5768. And the heroic leadership of their dynamic Rosh Yeshiva Rabbi Yerachmiel Weiss

Part 1.

Includes: A short synopses of the attack, Rav Weiss speaking to students two hours after the attack, as well as his speech to his students on the first day back at Yeshiva on Thursday.


Part 2.

Includes: The Rosh Yeshiva of Yashlatz, Rav Weiss, interviewed by Ilana Dayan on the Sunday after the Rosh Chodesh attack in which six of his students were killed. This interview was hailed worldwide as an immense Kiddush Hashem. This is the first time the English subtitled version has been available for the public.


*Yashlatz (a high school) and Mercaz HaRav are two separate institutions. Although the media commonly mix them up and incorrectly think Yashlatz is part of Mercaz. Rav Weiss is Rosh Yeshiva of Yashlatz and Rav Shapira is Rosh Yeshiva of Mercaz.

Give us a way to shut the music off. What if I'm listening to music at home while blogging?

And, what about when you are posting about the Mercaz HaRav tragedy - how can we watch the sad videos while the music is playing?

Just a couple thoughts ... that's why I wouldn't do that.
