Just Can’t Beat The Tiyul To The North
By: Tevy Pilc

It's the one time all yeshiva bachurim eagerly anticipate. It's that time of the
year where we can take a break from the strenuous amount of learning we engage in and a time to kick back, enjoy each others' company and bask in the beauty that is of course the Holy Land: Eretz Yisrael. This amazing course of events of the tiyul, the time we can experience Eretz Yisrael, accompanied by our fellow bachurim and extraordinary Rabbis. Read More...


Ohr David Visits "Discovery"

Well, the program is world famous, but now it was Ohr David’s turn to “Discover” what this “Torah thing” is anyway!! Our day at Discovery started with an introduction by Rabbi Lipman Podolsky and was followed by the first lecture entitled “The seven wonders of the world”. It was really interesting to hear the “funny” way in which “the one who wrote the torah”, invented these commandments. read more....


 

Agudath Israel Visits Ohr David

Slightly ahead of the East Coast snowstorms, they arrived in Yerushalayim for the fourth annual Agudath Israel Yarchei Kallah program. Every year, religious businessmen and professionals take time from work to learn for a week in Israel as a show of solidarity. They participate in an intensive program of shiurim delivered by prominent Rabbonim and Maggidei Shiur. This year, as in the past, some participants agreed to take part in a panel discussion in Yeshivat Ohr David on the topic: “Being a Ben-Torah in the Workplace.” read more....


Former Lutheran Minister- Now Rabbi- visits Ohr David
As he has done in past years, Rabbi Asher Wade, former Lutheran Minister, joined us at a melave malka. Every year, Rabbi Wade tells over his story about how he and his wife discovered Judaism. To the amazement of the boys, the almost 2 and a half hour session flew by as if it were 15 minutes. His discovering Judaism is always a huge chizzuk for the guys and this time was no different. read more....



Rabbi Boruch Chait at Ohr David
This past Motzei Shabbos, we had the privilege of having Rabbi Boruch Chait at our Yeshiva. For those that don’t recognize the name, Rabbi Chait was the founder of the well known “Rabbis Sons”. For decades, his music and stories have added holiness and joy into many lives. This Saturday night was no exception! read more....

Chanukah at Yeshivat Ohr David
What a treat for Shabbos to start off Chanukah!! At Ohr David, we took full advantage. It started with an in-shabbos with Rabbi Hershoff. Friday night, everyone lit together in the dining room. Davening was led by Levi Kelman with a beautiful Lecha dodi. He used many different Chanukah songs and the entire Yeshiva was dancing at Bo’i V’eshalom. It was truly a beautiful way to start off Chanukah. Following Lecha Dodi, Rabbi Hershoff spoke about the beauty of having a Shabbos Chanukah in Yerushalayim, and how shabbos is our greatest gift. read more....
