Torah’s Summer Song

“The hallways look different than the usual yeshivah décor, but the song is one you know… the song of Torah,” a writer for the She’arim newspaper wrote at the time.

Even the general media found the concept of bein hazmanim resorts interesting. “Between the fruit trees and dense shrubbery, in a place with neither radio nor newspaper, Torah permeates the atmosphere,” wrote a reporter for the daily Maariv. “There, you can catch the Gerrer rosh yeshivah of Sfas Emes in full chassidic garb speaking in learning with a young student in short pants from Haifa… ‘Torah,’ says Rav Tzukerman of Kfar Haroeh, ‘is truly the best glue.’”
