In a deeply moving event at the central Lubavitch Yeshiva in Beit Shemesh, led by Rabbi Yisrael Nachman Lerner, four yeshiva students, Menachem Mendel Avraham, Yosef Yitzchak Greenberg, Yonatan Shmuel Haba, and Menachem Baruch Vardi, completed all tractates of the Talmud in memory of fallen soldier Moshe Shmuel Noll, may his memory be a blessing.
His brother, Shneur Zalman Noll, a student in the yeshiva, was honored with reciting Kaddish before a tearful and inspired audience.
A Night of Torah and Tribute
Delivering the keynote address was Rabbi Yitzchak David Alter, son of the late Pnei Menachem of Gur and head of the Gur kollel in Bnei Brak. Rabbi Alter praised the students' dedication and the elevated spiritual atmosphere, urging them to continue their diligence in Torah study with faith and longing for the complete redemption.
Deputy Mayor of Beit Shemesh, Shimon Goldberg, also addressed the crowd, lauding the yeshiva:
“This is not just another educational institution, it’s a powerhouse cultivating the next generation of Hasidic Torah scholars. On behalf of Mayor Shmuel Greenberg, I came to express our unwavering support for the yeshiva.”
