Rosh Yeshivas Slabodka, HaGaon HaRav Dov Landau, delivered a clear message to bnei yeshivos during a shiur at the Mishkanot HaTorah Yeshiva in Bnei Brak on Wednesday on how to deal with the decrees against the Torah and lomdei Torah.
“All kinds of things and talk are happening; a large part of the talk is against the Torah and against lomdei Torah—various decrees and schemes, rachmanah litzlan,” the Rosh Yeshivah said.
“The only way to deal with all of this is to ignore them and their noise and engage in limmud Torah b’iyun and immersion, with all one’s kochos and at all times.”
HaRav Landau added that the bnei yeshivos should use their natural curiosity “only for divrei Torah” and stressed that “only in this way will everything happening outside not succeed in penetrating us, and no power in the world will be able to overcome us.”

Chazak V’ematz! We survived the Greeks , persians, and the Romans and the Babylonians, and the nazis too. Wel survive this cursed erev rav from amalek as well
You mean we shouldn’t rely on a Zionist government that sees frum Jews as a more dangerous threat than those who actively try to murder Jews. Or in America, where one party support the aforementioned groups actively rejoice in killing Jews, and the other party makes it clear it wants to ignore the rest of the world and sees nothing wrong with stabbing friends and allies in the back? Attempting armed resistance, either against anti-Semites in golus, or against the Zionists in Eretz Yisrael would be futile and counter-productive.
We need a gadol to tell us to concentrate on Torah and Mitsvos? (this is a sarcastic rhetorical question, not a critique of the rabbanim). Most heder students should be able to figure this one out using common sense.
rebEmes, calling Jews amalek makes me wonder about your yuchsin.
akuperma, without funding from the government of Israel, yeshivot would collapse.
Words that come from the heart also enter it. Look where his heart is, look what matters to him in life. And all the people who slander him day and night never look at the Torah even once yet they constantly still try to lecture him about what it says
Dr.goyy as much as you love people who speak against rabbis and those who commit themselves to a life of learning Torah, I am simply not that guy. There are plenty of Jews that have lost their validity and their wickedness is so severe that you are allowed to hate them just as much as Hitler himself. I’ll just mention Bernie Sanders or Yair Golan for a quick example. If you think there’s anything wrong with calling them Nazis or amalek it’s because of your major torah ignorance
@DrGoy; The main message of this weeks Parsha is Emunah and Bitochen – YESHIVOS WILL SURVIVE WITHOUT ZIONIST GOVERNMENT FUNDING – ZIONIST GOVERNMENT WILL NOT SURVIVE WITHOUT THE ZECHUS OF YESHIVA FUNDING!
