This past Motzei Shabbos, a historic Melava Malka asifa brought together nearly 350 Roshei Chaburah from Beth Medrash Govoha (BMG) in Lakewood, representing over 300 chaburos across the yeshiva’s six campuses, 21 buildings, and 22 batei medrash. These roshei chaburos, pivotal in shaping the growth of the yeshiva’s talmidim, gathered for chizzuk under the guidance of BMG’s Roshei Yeshiva. The event featured powerful divrei chizuk from Rav Avraham Birnbaum shlit”a, son of Mir Yeshiva’s late Rosh Yeshiva, HaGaon Rav Shmuel Birnbaum zt”l, and son-in-law of BMG Rosh Yeshiva HaGaon Rav Yisroel Neuman shlit”a. Rav Birnbaum spoke passionately about the unique shlichus and responsibility of a Rosh Chaburah.

Catskills Hatzalah held a Hanochas Even Hapinah on Sunday at the site of its upcoming garage facility, located at the intersection of Anawana Lake Road and Fraser Road in Kiamesha. The new facility will feature three garage bays to accommodate several ambulances, a fully equipped paramedic stock room, and two lodging areas for on-call paramedics—significantly enhancing Hatzalah’s emergency response capabilities across the Catskills region. In attendance were a small group of Catskills Hatzalah coordinators, the Viznitzer Rebbe of Kiamesha, and members of the donor’s family. The event marked a meaningful step forward in Hatzalah’s continued mission to provide lifesaving care to the community. (YWN World Headquarters – NYC)
