A Yeshiva During Corona

The Covid-19 crisis and lockdown has shuttered�yeshivos�across the globe in unprecedented fashion. It�s almost hard to believe that�mekomos haTorah�are closed, silencing the�limud haTorah�that formerly filled the hallowed�botei medrash.

Lomdei Torah�have tried to compensate, learning with�chavrusos�over the phone, studying with social distancing rules in place, and perhaps utilizing technologies like Zoom and Skype.

Boruch Hashem,�Klal Yisroel�is trying.

But something has been missing. Something�s lacking.

What is it? Can you put your finger on it?

It�s the feeling of a�yeshiva. The sense of a�chaburah. The live interaction with a�maggid shiur.

That�s been missing amidst the Covid-19 shutdown.

But what can we do about it? Can we do�anything?

Thankfully, we�re not the only ones to have noticed this.

A member of the Jewish community realized how essential the �yeshiva�feeling� is to the vibrancy and growth of�limud haTorah�even during the coronavirus pandemic. This magnanimous donor began to move heaven and earth in order to launch a website that would serve as a virtual�yeshiva�for all of�Klal Yisroel.

Introducing�Yeshiva Shel Malah.

The first website of its kind,�YeshivaShelMalah.com�is a live, interactive, vibrant online�yeshiva. Every�shiur�is delivered in real time, by renowned and talented�rabbonim�and�maggidei shiur. When you tune in, you have entered a virtual�bais medrash, with likeminded�lomdei Torah�across the world who have one goal: to learn Torah, to expand their knowledge, to benefit from the offerings of noted�talmidei chachomim, and to give expression to the yearning that they feel inside.

It�s a yearning for a genuine�yeshiva�experience, even when confined to one�s home.

It�s a desire to taste the sweetness of learning�b�chaburah, under the tutelage of a�maggid shiur,

It�s a longing for what has been missing for two months since the pandemic brought the world to its knees.

The good news is that�Yeshiva Shel�Malah�is just getting started.

This revolutionary learning platform, which is free and user friendly, will be expanding its roster of live�shiurim�every week.�YeshivaShelMalah.com�s�home page features a clear listing of all�shiurim�times, along with the names of the respective�maggidei shiur�and the topic of their�shiurim�or classes.
