Meeting at the Home of HaRav Chaim Kanievsky about Personal Ramim

by Yechiel Sever

A special meeting at the home of HaRav Chaim Kanievsky featured the attendance of prominent roshei yeshiva and marbitzei Torah to encourage the efforts of the Betzavta organization that arranges for private mentors and tutors for yeshiva students.

HaRav Aharon Tausig said that at their gathering were the voices of thousands of young talmidim who want to grow in Torah and yirah, and who ask to be given the tools and the ladder with which to rise up. He recalled the psak of HaRav Moshe Feinstein zt"l that people should give a tenth of their time to learn with others who need help. HaRav Gershon Edelstein said that Betzavta needs to be expanded and that it can help to produce generations of talmidei chachomim and yirei Shomayim. HaRav Chizkiyohu Mishkovsky, the mashgiach of Orchos Torah, praised the idea of an individual ram and said that the roshei yeshivos and mashgichim should encourage any bochur who needs it to seek help.

Also speaking were HaRav Zelig Braverman, the rosh yeshiva of Ruzhin, and HaRav Moshe Hillel Hirsch, the rosh yeshiva of Slobodka. Many other prominent roshei yeshiva were also in attendance.
