An Inspiring Tu Bishvat as Rachmastrivka Rebbe Visits Heichal HaTalmud Yeshiva
YS GOLD
The talmidim of Yeshivas Heichal HaTalmud in Boro Park are still feeling the powerful inspiration following a deeply uplifting Tu B’Shevat gathering led by the Rebbe of Rachmistrivka–Spring Valley. The event infused the bachurim with a renewed spirit of growth and elevation, leaving a lasting impression on every student present.
Under the leadership of Rav Yoel Bitman, the yeshiva has earned a strong reputation in the Torah world as a place where each talmid is nurtured to reach his highest potential. Heichal HaTalmud is known as a true yeshiva for excellence, guiding its students to distinction Torah, avodah, and gemilus chassodim.
As part of the “HaOlam Omed” initiative launched during the weeks of Shovavim, talmidim undertook personal commitments in Torah learning, davening, and chesed—each according to their level. These included improved focus during learning, greater mindfulness in davening, and intentional acts of kindness toward others.
The Tu B’Shevat celebration reached its peak with the Rebbe’s presence at the tish. Talmidim sang heartfelt nigunim, sharing sacred moments of hope and elevation, receiving fruit and shirayim from the Rebbe who exuded visible affection to each and every one of them. In his words of inspiration, the Rebbe emphasized the unique power of youth and the opportunity to grow with joy and consistency.
Following the visit, the Rebbe expressed profound admiration for the yeshiva, noting the genuine bond between the mechachim and talmidim—something that he said is truly rare. His visit left behind a strengthened atmosphere that continues to uplift the entire yeshiva.
