Rabbi Moshe Tzadka Visits Rabbi Binyamin Hota’s Miron Retreat and Reveals US Success Secret
Rabbi Moshe Tzadka, head of a yeshiva, visited the vacation apartment of Rabbi Binyamin Hota in Miron following a special overnight prayer journey to the graves of righteous figures in northern Israel. After dawn prayers at the tomb of Rabbi Shimon Bar Yochai, Rabbi Tzadka sought a quiet place to rest and study Torah, leading him to Rabbi Hota’s retreat where he spent about an hour in Torah study and conversation with Rabbi Hota and his family.
Rabbi Tzadka expressed deep appreciation for Rabbi Hota’s dedication to teaching Torah throughout the year and noted that Rabbi Hota deserved a vacation, saying, "He wanted a break, so they sent us to him." During their discussion, Rabbi Tzadka attributed the success of the United States to its newness and lack of historical transgressions, as well as the presence of rabbis who come to raise funds for yeshivas, which he said contributes to its prosperity.
Rabbi Tzadka praised the hospitality he received, to which Rabbi Hota responded that welcoming guests is like "receiving the Divine Presence," adding that he brought the Divine Presence itself to the home. The full meeting was recorded and shared at the beginning of the original report.
