With the opening of Eretz Yisrael to tourists from around the world, the Torah community is just weeks away from a golden opportunity to take to the skies, as Agudas Yisroel's annual Yarchei Kallah is set to unfold in Yerushalayim.
Run by the Agudah's Torah Projects Commission, this year's Yarchei Kallah will take place February 20th to 24th /19 - 23 Adar I at the Ramada Jerusalem hotel and will delve into the intricacies of Hilchos Krias HaTorah V'Haftora, building on concepts recently covered in Daf Yomi. A list of Sugya mareh mekomos is available here.
As in recent years, the program is planned to begin on Sunday with a pre Yarchei Kallah program. We are planning a possible visit to klaf and atzei chaim factories as well as a Pesichas Yarchei Kallah event in the presence of Gedolei Eretz Yisrael. Monday morning the sidrei Yarchei Kallah will begin with multiple shiurim, presentations and night programming featuring many Gedolei Torah in Eretz Yisrael, including senior Roshei Yeshiva and Poskim. A separate women's program will have participants visiting mekomos hekedoshim and other significant locations as well as multiple shiurim given by prominent speakers.
The Agudas Yisroel Yerushalayim Yarchei Kallah program has grown exponentially over the years from its humble beginnings as a show of support for those living in Eretz Yisroel during the first intifadah. In addition to growing in size with every passing year, the demographics have changed as well, with the program attracting participants from across the globe, a younger audience and even multi-generational groups, with fathers, sons and even grandsons flocking to the Yarchei Kallah Bais Medrash, to share the experience of immersing themselves in the sugya d'kallah.
Now is your opportunity to join those that have already signed up for the 2022 Yarchei Kallah. Registration is continuing at a fast pace at aiayk.org/yarcheikallah2022 or by phone 212.797.7380. Coming on the heels of the COVID 19 lockdowns, excitement is running high for this year's program. Klal Yisrael is experiencing an unprecedented thirst for Torah and the Agudah is confident that those who invest just a few days in the Yarchei Kallah will see a lifetime of dividends as they enjoy an unparalleled opportunity for chizuk and limud haTorah at the Agudah Yerushalayim Yarchei Kallah.
