A Message From

Rav Moshe Zev Katzenstein, Shlit”a

Rosh Yeshiva

Here we are, once again celebrating another year of the

Yeshiva’s success and accomplishments. We are now in the

fifteenth year of the Yeshiva Gedolah’s existence in its present

state in the community. Fifteen is also the number of steps

leading into the Bais Hamikdash. The Kohen would ascend

these steps reciting a different one of the Shir Hamaalos on

every step. The Yeshiva has ascended many steps, each taking

us to a higher level of engagement, productivity, and םש שודיק

םימש. At each level, we need to sing a ריש to acknowledge the

ascent. We are truly able to sing a song of gratitude to Hashem

for the gift He has given us to accomplish with so many people.

We can also sing a song that expresses בוטה תרכה to all of you

who have helped us reach these plateaus. To the Bnei Yeshiva

who have created a standard of commitment and to the Baalei

Baatim who appreciate it and enhance it – Thank You!

These same steps lead into the Azara. The Kohen uses

them to enter into the place of higher Kedusha. This is also

appropriate in that the Yeshiva represents an opportunity

for each individual to enter into a place of greater levels of

Torah and Kedusha. The Yeshiva, through the Bnei Torah

who comprise it, represents an unwavering standard that is

consistent with the Mesorah upon which it is built. All of the

members of the Yeshiva Family are seeking to be part of that

elevated standard and want to ascend the steps to enter the

sanctuary that embodies it. Each step that brings us closer to

entering those hallowed halls is punctuated with Shir – with

song.

These fifteen years have represented tremendous אתעייס

אימשד, real growth in the facility, the size of the Yeshiva and the
