Lakewood Parlor Meeting: The Grandeur and Magnitude of the Lakewood Yeshiva

this Tower class is brought to you by torahanytime.com I must say that I was very hesitant to get up here tonight perhaps it's not my place to be speaking in front of so many but the only reason I agree to speak is I was afraid it would be so packed this was push it the only way I would get a seat but because of the weather I think it's become a Mecca toss but the truth is I felt a tremendous uh degree of high class to tonight's host to Bernie shafrin I felt that I owed him a tremendous debt of gratitude a number of years ago when I came to the neighborhood I started diving in a rabobam Shoal to be nenef and the Ralph's Tyra and at the time I came to the neighborhood I don't think I knew a soul over there and Bernie was really the first to greet me to welcome me to make sure I had a seat and I later discovered that the seat that Bernie was securing for me was his very own if you look at me back of the Charles one of the titles that was given to uh tonight's host is that Bernie is farisha and Lakota so what's the shot in the hall maybe we could darshan what is because Marvin not only is Bernie the first to be magazik the big meistice and the big causes but over the years I've seen how Bernie is also Royce for reshine any simple person who comes to him for whatever and I believe that Bernie's display of hassad in the small areas is magala that when he opens up his home for basement we see that it stems from his late tithe and from his genuine Ava satira it should be his husband we're already holding our forum the madrushiness tells us that after eighteen thousand five hundred yeden where Nana from the surada finished describes in a very depraved way and the matter says he accused he was makatrick we are made of fun of ribena umazu how long is it going to be how long are you going to stick with these people and the matter tells us that it came to the point where there were no limit there were no merits to protect Cloud Israel until says the Madras three bunny Islam offered the following forward response but what's going to be with this iron what's going to be with the Tyra and these words chilling words reminded me of a story I heard when I was a bakar it was one of the first liquid shavasam and Flatbush and I confirmed the story over Shabbos with review and he thinks it was the very first Lakewood Chavez in Flatbush the Agoda Ellen 29th and the roshishiva gets up I shall I saw this and the roshishiva said the following story I remember very clearly roshiba said the Rev iron came to America and he arrives at what many were dubbed Satsuma he comes to San Francisco and his arabesa and it's his first day in America what was on with Aaron's mind what's ravaran worried about his first day in America Arab PESA San Francisco he wasn't worried where he's going to eat to stay there he wasn't worried how's he going to get out of koi size and he's not worried how in the world is he going to get matzo the day before pacing what was foremost on with Aaron's Minds was Tyrone how's he going to build yeshivas in America 70 years later here we are basis 7 000 we see how of Aaron's mysterious helped answer that call of toyo matsahilao Sarah tells us in Paris about Abra movino foreign but then the ramban asks the million dollar question what happened to yakovina nowhere in the entire hummus do we ever find the Yakov avinu what happened to yakovino why wasn't Jacob ravino married and the question is even more difficult in light of the fact that the gemara says categorizes the six thousand years of Rio Salam and the gamara says the first 2 000 years our schneid I love him to you two thousand years of emptiness and the next 2000 years says the gemara are snail s why would the first 2000 years other Marissa in 930 years he was he was macarous he was about tiger foreign categorize the first two thousand years Hashem they were aligned them they were my minimum but nobody proactively tried to proliferate and expand nobody actively went out to teach Torah only avraham avina was like Hashem so relative to the Torah of aykrobe Hashem a Torah that's only in your dalarama ushers into the world that you may tell you you may Taira because only avrah mavino is Hashem because they're on bun Yips clock also there's a Margaret Sarah yeah but then the question is ever so stronger what happened to yakovino the only thing you find by Jacob avino is what happened and to make the question even more difficult we all know that avraham avino is a Samuel arnovino is the Paragon of hesit is the Paragon of gevora of din ah is the Samuel of Torah yaku avino is the Paragon of Torah how could yakovino be the Paragon of Torah if the ramban is identifying that kotara is defined by vayukub Hashem which is a facet never mentioned by Jacob Aveeno so this is the question of the ramban what happens why is Jacob avino the ishtam Yoshi answers the ramban listen to a ramban afro movino is only one person his influence can only be felt in this world if he disseminates Torah says rabban Yitzhak is only one person his influence in the world can only be felt if he's a marvelous Torah Hashem he had a community he had a congregation he had a kahila says the ramban the numbers speak for themselves when people see a group of that size of that magnitude coulomb uranium that itself proclaims to the world Hashem is the Paragon of Torah because through the sheer numbers of the kahila of Yakov avinu in the greatest way we've all come tonight Russia Siva who is joining us tonight via Skype I think I have the Good Fortune to be the very first person in history to introduce with malkiel via Skype I personally never learned in the lake odishiva I'm a proud talmud of Shiva Cafe I've been there since I'm 14 years old has come tonight to show the Actos and the friendship of ayushiva with Lakewood but the reality is that whether you learned in Lakewood or you didn't learn in Lakewood I believe every ID is a direct beneficiary of the basement because the mere existence of a Yeshiva of this magnitude of the seven thousand tell me them and the Yeshiva proclaims to the world proclaims to claw Israel the sensuality of learning Torah the the critical nature of Lima attire in our lives and we could say perhaps then in the Israel the Lakewood Yeshiva is that our spiritual existence is very much hanging and dependent on this makum Tyra when we see the roshiva even via this uh vehicle it reinforces in our minds that which we know that the Torah is all of us who have come tonight you've just experienced another Torah class
