Rabbi Elyashiv Celebrates Sukkot, Emphasizes Torah Study

By כיכר השבת, חיים רוזנבוים
Translated & summarized from Kikar HaShabbat by baba
The story · English

Thousands of followers flocked to the sukkah of Rabbi Binyamin Dovid Elyashiv, head of the "Tiferet Bachurim" kollel network, during the intermediate days of the Sukkot holiday. Visitors came to greet their leader and receive his blessings.

Rabbi Elyashiv participated in the "Simchat Beit Hashoeva" celebrations with his community, a traditional water-drawing festival held during Sukkot. Amidst the joyous festivities, the article highlights the quiet hours dedicated to Torah study within the sukkah.

The rabbi was observed diligently engaged in his studies, embodying the Talmudic principle that the festivals were given to Israel primarily for Torah study. The report includes footage of these events, showcasing both the communal celebration and the personal devotion to religious scholarship.
