In the Poconos Zal, after two months of in-depth study of the Gemoro, commentaries, and Poskim on the topic of “Shehiya and Chazoro”, i.e. the use of a stove or oven on shabbos, culminated in a three-part Kinus Torah, where bochrim shared a “vort” on the Gemoro, Rashi, Tosafos, Meforshim and the Alter Rebbe’s Shulchan Aruch.
The first part was held Thursday, chof-daled sivan, the second and third part followed on Tuesday and Wednesday, Chof Tes and Lamed Sivan. The Kinus was emceed by HaTomim Motti Smith, who opened the kinus with a story told by Harav Yaakov Landa a”h regarding the extreme extent of stringency with which these halachos were kept in Bais Harav.
In the Poconos, this is the first kinus of its kind, to include so many bochrim, and focused on one topic. The participants were visibly pleased. “It is obvious that the bochrim are immersed in this sugya. I just discovered that so many bochrim have a real talent to teach torah clearly and deeply”, exclaimed Rabbi Shmuel Newman, a mashpia in the yeshiva.
The kinus included the following speakers, the temimim:
Yisroel Schapiro, Yossi Halevi Labkowsky, Feivel Selwin, Sholom Ber Baruch, Levi Hacohen Brisky, Shmuel Lipskier, Daniel Namdar, Sholom Ber Felberman, Menachem Mendel Stein, Yosef Notik, Zalman Lerman, Levy Mir, Yehoshua Hakohen Blesofsky, Yakov Shilag, Yossi Isaac, Meir Levy Weinstien, Meir Gabra, Yossi HaKohen Hendel, Aharon Shmuel Cohen, Menachem Mendel Simcha Schwei, Shmuel Labkowsky, Sholom Ber Gutblatt, Aharon Meir Morrison, Yossi Creeger, Menachem Shilag, Aharon Yakov Banin, Shneur Elkayam.
After the third part of the kinus, bochrim travelled to Crown Heights for Shabbos Gimmel Tammuz, and will return after Shabbos to continue studying for an additional month, another unique feat of the Poconos yeshiva.
