Slabodka

But perhaps we can take a lesson from Rav Yeruchem Levovitz zatzal, the great Mashgiach of the Mir Yeshiva in Europe – who had previously learned in the Yeshiva of Slabodka – whose famous Mashgiach was the Alter of Slabodka, Rav Nosson Tzvi Finkel zt”l.

Not even a pin drop could be heard as the chairman of the event, Rav Yisrael Layush, introduced the Rosh Yeshiva of Slabodka, Rav Moshe Hillel Hirsch.

During the first World War, the Slabodka Yeshiva was in exile in Kremenchug.
