Dear Yeshivat Sha’alvim Alumni (1970–1985),

We are excited to share a meaningful project undertaken by fellow alumnus Rav Yosef Gavriel Bechhofer shlit”a. Rav Bechhofer has digitized and made available 43 rare recordings (and counting) of sichot delivered by:

• Rav Shimon Zelaznik zt”l

• Rav Yitzchok Dzimitrovski zt”l

• Rav Yitzchok Gittelman zt”l

• Rav Meir Schlesinger shlit”a

These precious recordings were originally made at Yeshivat Sha’alvim in the late 1970s and early 1980s and offer a unique opportunity to reconnect with the Torah, ruach, and voices that shaped that period in Yeshiva.

To access the recordings, please visit: https://ravzelaznik.blogspot.com

We are deeply grateful to Rav Bechhofer for preserving and sharing this rich piece of Sha’alvim’s history.

Bivracha,

Avi Rosalimsky

Executive Director, American Friends of Sha'alvim
