A yeshiva bochur in Wolfson Yeshiva in Jerusalem was mevater on attending his sister’s wedding in order to remain in his “capsule” and continue his learning until Motzei Yom Kippur.
As the kallah and her brother are yesomim, it meant even more to her than most to have all her siblings present at her simcha. The chassan and kallah decided they wouldn’t be mevater on sharing the simcha of their wedding day and they went straight from their wedding to the yeshivah.
The yeshiva bochurim – from behind their “bars” – fulfilled the mitzvah of “m’sameich chassan v’kallah with great enthusiasm.

האח של הכלה לא השתתף בחתונת אחותו, שניהם יתומים, אבל הוא ויתר על החתונה כדי להשאר בישיבה (בקפסולה) ולהמשיך ללמוד עד מוצאי יום הכיפורים.
בתום החתונה, הזוג הטרי הגיע עד אליו והשמחה פרצה את הסורגים.
פשוט מרגש. ו… מזל טוב! pic.twitter.com/88TMgCBvpo— אבי מימרן Avi Mimran (@avi1mimran) September 9, 2020

מי כעמך ישראל
Today’s bochurim are GIANTS!
Wow, miss a sister’s wedding so as not to miss yeshiva!
Amazing!
That doesn’t take away from the ridiculous way this farce of a threat is being dealt with.
Beautiful
The bochur could have gone to his sister’s chassene and carried on learning but just in a different format, i.e. outside the walls of the Yeshiva. Nothing would have stopped a really serious bochur devoted both to his family and limmud HaTorah achieving both.
@Jerusalem observer
at the end of the day there is no comparison to to learning at home and learning in yeshiva
Everyone involved should be gbentched!
When my grandparents got married, 91 years ago, my bobba’s brother’s rosh yeshivah did not allow him to leave seder to attend the wedding. He was a yeshivah bochur and his job was to sit and learn. And he was a yosom from birth — he never knew his father, my great-grandfather. That didn’t change anything for the rosh yeshivah.
