Established by Rabbi Chaim Pinchas Scheinberg zt”l in 1960. ADDRESS: 3 Sorotzkin St, P.O.B 6979 Jerusalem, Israel 9106901 FOR MORE INFORMATION PLEASE CONTACT: RAV YEHOSHUA CHAITOVSKY AMERICAN OFFICE Israel Cell: 972-57-314-7677 Telephone: 718-434-5185 American Cell: 347-693-4356 Fax: 718-298-2297 Email: [email protected] Email: [email protected] mission statement eshivas Torah Ore is a post high school Yeshiva forY both American and internationally diverse students, located in Kiryas Mattersdorf, Yerushalayim. The Yeshiva was founded on the principal of creating an atmosphere of individualized growth in ruchnius, and developing an appreciation of Torah learning. Through a warm and personal approach, the Yeshiva seeks to imbue every student with the self-condence and the desire needed to reach greatness in Torah and in the service of Hashem. mission statement hen one decides to attend Yeshivas Torah Ore (YTO),W he is not only enrolling himself in a yeshiva, but he nds himself joining a family as well. The Torah Ore family’s tradition and history has roots that are steeped in Torah and varmkiet. The name YTO is recognized across the globe as a true makom Torah. ince its inception in 1960, under the leadership of Maran HaGaonS Rabbi Chaim Pinchas Scheinberg, zt’l, YTO has a reputation of attracting students from around the world. These students are interested in immersing themselves in a serious Torah atmosphere, in Eretz Yisrael, away from the distractions of everyday life. The typical bochur is self-motivated and aspires to develop both his learning and analytical skills, as well as striving to reach new heights in avodas hakodesh. The Torah Ore bochur isn’t satised with simply being personally impacted, but he also desires to share his passion for learning with others as well. RELATIONSHIPS o matter where one finds himself during the course of theN year; whether it is in the beis medresh, the dorm, or on one of our trips, one cannot help but feel the sense of camaraderie that envelops him when he is with his family - the other bochrim of Yeshivas Torah Ore. The feeling of friendship that one receives is unparalleled. Bochrim primarily from the United States, Canada, Europe and South Africa, spend the year together, with shared goals in mind. This creates an unbreakable bond. As one lays the corner stone and solidies his own foundation in avodas Hashem, he realizes that he is not alone in his endeavors. There is an understanding amongst the bochrim that you are not only building your own personal spiritual skyscraper, but together you are building a community, and you are extending the Torah Ore Family. At some RELATIONSHIPS point during the year, you realize that the person you are speaking to is not only a chavrusa or a roommate, but he is a friend that will last a lifetime. RELATIONSHIPS he Yeshiva is the true melting pot where friendships are forged.T It is not only about connecting to your peers, but it is also forming a relationship with the hanhallah, your rebbeim, and ultimately Hashem. THE FAMILY he Torah Ore family doesn’t only reside on Rechov Sorotzkin, itsT branches are spread throughout the world. When visiting throughout North America, Europe, Australia, South America or South Africa, one will always nd a familiar face. Torah Ore Alumni have spread throughout the world, teaching the Rosh HaYeshiva’s Torah. Our Alumni are comprised of Roshei Yeshiva, communal rabbonim, Jewish organizational leaders and lay leaders alike. Some of our talmidim have been privileged to devote their entire lives to absorbing Torah within the four walls of the Yeshiva. When entering Yeshivas Torah Ore, one walks upon a well-trodden path, guided by Torah. THE FAMILY THE FAMILY hen one experiences his first shacharis with the RoshW HaYeshiva, he realizes that he entered a family. One cannot help but feel that the Rosh HaYeshiva is there to look after each and every member of his family. This fatherly feeling is not only limited to the Rosh HaYeshiva but the other members of the sta as well. As you walk through the hallways of the Yeshiva, although you notice so many dierent people speaking various languages, everyone is part of the same family. THE FAMILY DAILY SCHEDULE 8:00 Shacharis BREAKFAST 9:30 Morning Seder 12:15 Iyun Shiur 1:15 Mincha LUNCH 3:30 Afternoon Seder 5:30 Bikiyus Shiur 6:10 Mussar Seder DAILY 6:30 Halacha Shiur SCHEDULE DINNER 8:45 Night Seder 10:30 Maariv 10:45 Optional shiur on various masechtos DAILY SCHEDULE Monday Nights Sichas Mussar - Rav Noach Orlowek at 10:00 Wednesday Nights Sichas Mussar - Rav Yosef Stern at 6:30 Optional Shiurim on the Parsha Thursday Nights followed by refreshments.

Throughout the year, the Yeshiva goes on various tours, giving each bochur the opportunity to experience the splendor of the holy land. From a trip to the deserts in the Negev, to skiing on Mount Chermon, no part of the land is excluded. Whether spending Shabbos in the Golan with their favorite rebbe, or meeting some of the greatest Torah Giants alive today in Bnei Brak, everyone has a chance to see what makes Eretz Yisrael such a special place. TRIPS TRIPS nder the watchful eyes of Rabbi Chaitovsky and Rabbi Orbach,U the bochrim get a unique chance to experience various activities here in Eretz Yisrael. From watching the process of wine making in the famous Golan Winery, ATVing in the Judean Hills or jumping down a waterfall in Nachal Yehudiya, Rabbi Chaitvosky is there to help transform an exciting vacation into a meaningful experience. TRIPS FACULTY he faculty has a unique ability to combine high level shiurimT , with the talent to relate to each talmid on his own level. This is a direct reection of the vision and ideals of the Rosh HaYeshiva, Rabbi Chaim Pinchas Scheinberg, zt’l. Rabbi Scheinberg, who was a world renowned Gadol BiYisrael, was recognized for his lomdus, hasmada, and psak halacha. He spent countless hours servicing the public by oering his sagacious advice, listening, and giving brachos to any individual who came to his door. This exceptional ability to sympathize with every individual, no matter what the situation, is part of the legacy that Torah Ore continues, and is reected in the attitude and approach of each and every rebbe in the Yeshiva. FACULTY he majority of the Torah Ore faculty have been studentsT of Rabbi Chaim Pinchas Scheinberg, zt’l, at some point in their ’learning careers’. Now, they have ‘returned home’ to pass on his message and learning style to the next generation. Being a link in the chain of this mesorah is a unique experience, which is relished by the talmidim. The Yeshiva’s faculty consists of some of the brightest, insightful and dynamic talmidei chachamim in chinuch today. From names that are world renowned, to some of the best kept secrets in chinuch, each talmid feels that he has his own personal rebbe here in the yeshiva. Whether discussing the day’s learning or seeking advice, a bochur knows that he always has someone to turn to. Here at YTO, a rebbe’s job is 24 hours a day. The talmid/rebbe relationship that is forged in our yeshiva is one that lasts a lifetime.

We justify this procrastination by thinking that if something were really crucial, we SPOTLIGHT could rise to the occasion - certainly if our careers or lives depended on it. Yet, from this week’s Parsha, we see that this is not so. “ואת כל העדה הקהילו באחד לחדש השני“ ,D'VAR HALACHA The Pasuk states Moshe gathered all of Klal Yisroel on the first of the second month. Why was it THIS WEEK necessary to tell us when Moshe gathered Klal Yisroel? Rabbeinu Yona derives from IN PICTURES here that Moshe possessed great alacrity and diligence in his performance of Mitzvos. Hashem instructed Moshe to perform the census on the first of the second month, and, PARSHA TEASER indeed, he immediately gathered Klal Yisroel on the very same day. The question arises: Wouldn’t any of us, even people who do not possess Shleimus in THE VAAD: the Middah of Zrizus, comply with the direct command of Hashem to conduct a YEAR IN REVIEW census? Why is this act such a great illustration and demonstration of Moshe’s alacrity?

    CLASES DE JUDAISMO VERTIENTES DEL JUDAISMO #3 Por: Eliyahu BaYonah Director Shalom Haverim Org New York Vertientes del Judaismo • LA ORTODOXIA MODERNA • La Ortodoxia moderna comprende un espectro bastante amplio de movimientos, cada extracción toma varias filosofías aunque relacionados distintamente, que en alguna combinación han proporcionado la base para todas las variaciones del movimiento de hoy en día. • En general, la ortodoxia moderna sostiene que la ley judía es normativa y vinculante, y concede al mismo tiempo un valor positivo para la interacción con la sociedad contemporánea. Vertientes del Judaismo • LA ORTODOXIA MODERNA • En este punto de vista, el judaísmo ortodoxo puede "ser enriquecido" por su intersección con la modernidad. • Además, "la sociedad moderna crea oportunidades para ser ciudadanos productivos que participan en la obra divina de la transformación del mundo en beneficio de la humanidad". • Al mismo tiempo, con el fin de preservar la integridad de la Halajá, cualquier área de “fuerte inconsistencia y conflicto" entre la Torá y la cultura moderna debe ser evitada. La ortodoxia moderna, además, asigna un papel central al "Pueblo de Israel " Vertientes del Judaismo • LA ORTODOXIA MODERNA • La ortodoxia moderna, como una corriente del judaísmo ortodoxo representado por instituciones como el Consejo Nacional para la Juventud Israel, en Estados Unidos, es pro-sionista y por lo tanto da un estatus nacional, así como religioso, de mucha importancia en el Estado de Israel, y sus afiliados que son, por lo general, sionistas en la orientación. • También practica la implicación con Judíos no ortodoxos que se extiende más allá de "extensión (kiruv)" a las relaciones institucionales y la cooperación continua, visto como Torá Umaddá.

    The Future of Israeli Haredi Society: Can the Written Word Offer Some Insight? (And Assorted Other Comments)

    The Future of Israeli Haredi Society: Can The Written Word Offer Some Insight? (And Assorted Other Comments) The Future of Israeli Haredi Society: Can The Written Word Offer Some Insight? (And Assorted Other Comments) by Marc B. Shapiro 1. Months ago I was asked to write about the situation in Beit Shemesh that everyone was then focused on (and which will probably heat up again in the future). At the present, I don’t have anything to add to the discussion, and if I did it would be with reference to Jewish books, as this is, after all, a site devoted to seforim. While I have in the past given my views on various issues, it was in the context of Jewish books, and this case would be no different. This point was actually sorely missing in discussions of the Beit Shemesh situation and the haredi world in general. While what happens in real life does not always correspond to what appears in the books, knowledge of the latter is a great help in understanding what is going on in the community, at least with regard to the rabbinic elite. For example, if I were going to write something about the Neturei Karta faction that cozies up to Iran and Hamas, I would deal with how these people have tried to justify their actions from talmudic sources. They have even attempted to justify the sending of congratulations to Hamas after the latter succeeded in blowing up Jews in a terrorist attack. I have also been asked a number of times to write about the more basic issue of haredi ideology and democracy, which is on many people’s minds.
