A festive "Receiving the Rabbi" and "Holiday Joy" event, combined with a Torah study session, took place in the Menin Avrechim community in Shikun Heh, Bnei Brak. The event was led by Rabbi Abraham Salim, the head of the community and Rosh Yeshiva. It was attended by community members and a large crowd from surrounding neighborhoods.

The gathering commenced with an intense Torah discussion, where complex Talmudic topics were debated by prominent rabbis, including Rabbi Abraham Wizman, Rabbi Eyal Ta'asiri, and Rabbi Moshe Chaim Zargari, under the guidance of Rabbi Abraham Elhaddad. For over ninety minutes, the rabbis engaged in lively debates on holiday-related subjects, with the audience of men and children filling the study hall to witness the passion for Torah.

Rabbi Abraham Salim, who is also a member of the Council of Torah Sages, then addressed the assembly. He expressed his admiration for the "war of Torah" on display and praised the diligent Torah scholars and those who support them. He delivered a lengthy lecture on holiday matters, interacting with the audience, and concluded with words of encouragement for Torah scholars in light of the current situation in Israel.

The event continued with a "completion ceremony" for yeshiva students who had studied and completed tractates during the intermediate days of the holiday. Students presented their learning before Rabbi Salim, who expressed his satisfaction and bestowed blessings upon them. Following the recitation of Kaddish, the celebration transitioned into joyous singing and dancing in honor of Torah.

The event was also attended by Deputy Mayors Shlomo Elharar and Eliyahu Shoshan, along with political secretaries Reuven Sharabani and Yitzchak Peretz. The synagogue's Gabbais thanked them for their year-round support, especially for this event. The gathering concluded with the afternoon prayer, filled with a sense of spiritual elevation and holiday joy.
