Mesivta of Waterbury 2026 - Rabbi Kalish & Students Speaking About Yeshiva

[music] >> A bocher comes to Yeshiva and discovers that Yiddishkeit Torah [music] can resonate inside of me. Coming here made me grow with my connection with Hashem, connecting with the Rebbeim. >> [music] >> Everyone's happy to be here. Everyone wants to be here. If you're not going up, you're going down, and I think everyone's going [music] up here. The neshama is naturally growing. [music] It just needs the rest of the person to be accepted, to be embraced for wherever he is. Here really [music] gives me the time and the space to figure out myself and realize that I don't want to be at the place that I was a few years ago. Being here makes me feel >> [music] >> that I'm one of the luckiest people out there. >> [music] >> When there's space for me and I'm accepted, what's produced is a very fiery and optimistic and [music] passionate Ben Aliyah.
