"Yeshiva students protect the entire generation," said President Milei on his historic visit to Chevron Yeshiva in Jerusalem on 4 Iyar. He was accompanied by senior members of his government, as well as the Argentinean ambassador to Israel Rabbi Shimon Axel Wahnish.
A formal ceremony was held in the main study hall. Rabbi Yosef Chevroni, head of the Hebron Yeshiva, addressed the President in English, saying, "Honorable President, you have undoubtedly received certificates and titles from important countries, institutions, and magnificent organizations. But I do not think, and I do not know, if until today you have received a title from an institution that is a link in a chain of generations, from a yeshiva that has existed in the people of Israel for 3,786 years."
Also greeting the President were the Roshei Yeshiva HaRav Dovid Cohen shlita and HaRav Moshe Mordechai Farbstein shlita. Also present were the Mashgiach HaRav Chaim Tzvi Kaplan shlita. The Rosh Yeshiva of Maor HaTorah, HaRav Avraham Salim shlita was also there.
President Milei was very moved by the visit and he declared, "You who are here, in this yeshiva, are the conscience of all humanity. Your learning and the spreading of the wisdom of the Torah will eventually bring true happiness to humanity. I am proud to stand by your side. May G-d bless you and all of Israel."
Also present were HaRav Boruch Dov Povarsky shlita and HaRav Chaim Peretz Bermam shlita who came specially for the unique occasion.
