Rabbeni Yerucham was the Mashkiach of Mir.
David BassousHOST
Mir Yeshiva in Shanghai.
David BassousHOST
Can you imagine? The only Yeshiva.
David BassousHOST
Well, two big Yeshiva escaped.
David BassousHOST
And then in 1948 they had to move to Yerushalayim.
David BassousHOST
So Hebron Yeshiva, Slobodka.
David BassousHOST
And number two is Mir Yeshiva.
David BassousHOST
It's a miracle.
HoolGUEST
A rav whose taifes yeshiva, who holds the yeshiva, that's going to go to him for a ask for a bracha.
HoolGUEST
At the time, the biggest yeshivas at the time in Yerushalayim, maybe still today, were the Mir yeshiva and the Mishka yeshiva.
HoolGUEST
So that's probably why Ramoshev Shlomo told me to go to either Ramoshev Shlomo or the Ramoshev Shlomo.
HoolGUEST
And incidentally, years later, the missing man was located.
Mordechai BurgHOST
Ezra's leading the charge, as always.
Mordechai BurgHOST
I want to say that there's a beautiful... beautiful expression of chashiva satayra that came from Rav Lezer Yudel Finkel's Lechet Sadek, the Kaddish L'vracha, was the Rosh Hashiva of Mir Yeshiva.
Mordechai BurgHOST
Boys used to come to Rav Lezer Yudel and they used to tell him a pshat and he used to give them money for the pshat that they said.
Mordechai BurgHOST
They would come up with a chidish, with something novel, an insight that they had.
Yehoshua LiffHOST
Maybe we'll mention a story or two in this podcast.
Yehoshua LiffHOST
And I heard last night the Mir Yeshiva, they had a siyum, over 70 siyumim of Talmud, Bavli and Yishami were learned.
Yehoshua LiffHOST
Lila Nishmasa, he bought the hundreds and thousands of Talmidim.
Yehoshua LiffHOST
And it was a great, great schuss to... to be able to learn in the base medrash, which he put so much effort into it.
Arnie WittensteinHOST
Back in the day, people thought they should only print the Sefer if there's something there that's different and important.
Arnie WittensteinHOST
People say, the Maserah of the Mir Yeshiva tells us, that way back in the 30s, 20s and 30s, people who had authored Sforum would hand them to Reb Chaim Shmuel Levitz, and Reb Chaim would read through the Sefer for them, learn through the Sefer, and you tell them which Kiddush, which of their ideas have already been printed other places.
Arnie WittensteinHOST
That's why they called Reb Klime the Otzer Swarm of Liberation.
Arnie WittensteinHOST
And then, but this just shows you the difference between their day and our day.
David BassousHOST
He was the mashkiach, the spiritual guide for the yeshiva of Mir, which is one of the few yeshivot that escaped the Holocaust intact.
David BassousHOST
Amazing, amazing story of the Mir yeshiva.
David BassousHOST
how they moved to Shanghai, and now there's two branches, one in New York, one in Israel.
David BassousHOST
The one in Israel keeps on multiplying.
David BassousHOST
There's like 2,000, 3,000 students.
David BassousHOST
Amazing story of Mir.
David BassousHOST
And a lot of the success of Mir Yeshiva is due to this Rabbeinu Yerucham.
David BassousHOST
And Rabbeinu Yerucham says this amazing idea.
Yehoshua LiffHOST
He was happy with the, with the, with the, with the, the Torah.
Yehoshua LiffHOST
And they say that even in Lakewood, he would say, said to a certain chaburah, "If you'll finish the Masechta, then come to me, and I'll pay you like I pay the talmidim of the Mir Yeshiva." It didn't make a difference to him if it was this yeshiva or that yeshiva.
Yehoshua LiffHOST
The main thing is the Torah should be learnt with exuberance.
Yehoshua LiffHOST
Another yid I want to speak about, and another yid whose yartzeit is gonna be in a c-- in a little bit more than a week, and that's Rab Leizer Shach, who's gonna be the 25th anniversary of his yartzeit, and I had a lot to do with Rav Shach.
Aaron Dov FriedmanHOST
Famous, I'll end off with this famous story.
Aaron Dov FriedmanHOST
It happened with Rav Avrom Kalmanovich, who was the great rosh yeshiva of the m- he transplanted the Mir Yeshiva to New York, and he, he was the rosh yeshiva there for...
Aaron Dov FriedmanHOST
And, but he was, he was also a great leader and helped so many people in the Holocaust.
Aaron Dov FriedmanHOST
And when he was once sending money- It was, it was forbidden, you know, and he was called in by the FBI, sending, uh, money to, uh, China and to other people that were, were enemies of the, of the United States, and he told them, "You can arrest me, but I'm not gonna stop doing what I have to do.
Aaron Dov FriedmanHOST
That lion knew that's, we're the last lions in the world.
Aaron Dov FriedmanHOST
If we don't get our food on time, there will be no more lions in the world.
Aaron Dov FriedmanHOST
We have that responsibility." So he looked at Rab Simcha Wasserman and says, "If we don't provide money to the Mir Yeshiva in Shanghai, there will be no Mir Yeshiva.
Aaron Dov FriedmanHOST
They will, they will not be able to live.
Oshi BloomHOST
Rav Yerucham MiLubavitch.
Oshi BloomHOST
Yerucham MiLubavitch was Mashgiach Ruchani of the Mir Yeshiva in Belarus, an important figure for the Jewish people.
Oshi BloomHOST
Important figure for the Jewish people.
Oshi BloomHOST
He was born around eighteen.
Moshe WolmanHOST
I just say it's attributed to 'cause I spoke to someone who's related to Rav Chatzkel, and he claims that Rav Chatzkel told him differently.
Moshe WolmanHOST
But there's a, a story attributed to him that when we know that the Mir Yeshiva escaped from, from, from, from Europe very much, uh, to some degree intact, and they noticed that a lot of the Alter Mirers, they moved to Eretz Yisrael, and they were niftar young.
Moshe WolmanHOST
When I was niftar young, it was getting a little spooky.
Moshe WolmanHOST
So they asked Rav Chatzkel, what was happens? And Rav Chatzkel said that when HaKadosh Baruch Hu does nisim for a person, he demands from them a whole different higher lifestyle because the nisim, and they weren't able to hold by it.
