can someone fill in some backround about the yeshiva i have attended numerous levayas i dont remember one with such bchiyos by yungeleit & bochurim , especially when the r"y was ill and bderech hateva people see the guf getting weaker . there must have been some unique kesher
ReplyDeleteThe bechiyos were from the young bais medrash bochurim who were metapel with the rosh yeshiva the last few years they had a very close kesher with him and they went through the last tekufa emotionally.
DeleteThe rosh yeshiva was a very charismatic and hartzige person, he led the yeshiva very mal'chus'dig and he was somewhat of a "litvishe rebbe", the highlight of the dinners for me was the R"Y dancing at the end with parents and alumni and in yeshiva he would dance with them for hours.
ReplyDeleteWhen a R"Y begins his pshat in the Rashba with "with lots of sweat and blood" (mit shvitz un blut.....) you will get such bechiyos
Most people that have learned in the Yeshiva can attest to the fact that the R"Y had a big part in shaping and directing their life.
ReplyDeleteHe was a very unique and inspiring individual.
Having spent their formative years in his presence, talmidim generally had a lifelong chavivus for him.
We all felt as though we lost a father.
