Tuesday marked the final leg of an unforgettable two-week journey across North America, as Gedolei Yisroel concluded their historic mission to sustain the olam hatorah in Eretz Yisroel. The day began, fittingly, with a stirring call to action and ended with emotional farewells as the gedolim boarded their return flight to Eretz Yisroel, leaving behind inspired kehillos renewed in their commitment to supporting limud hatorah. The day’s events began in the home of R’ Yitzy Fried of the Five Towns, who opened his doors to the Gedolim and addressed the assembled crowd. “The Gedolei Yisroel are going above and beyond in this campaign,” he said.

Ofra Keidar was buried on Thursday at Kibbutz Be’eri, after being held hostage for 625 days, nearly 21 months since her abduction on October 7, 2023.
Her son Elad Keidar spoke at the graveside, reflecting on their final phone call. “After they told us you had been recovered from Gaza, I couldn’t stop replaying our last phone conversation in my head – the photos and videos I saw, the situation we were in at home, and the state you were in when you faced the terrorists. I started analyzing the entire situation from every angle, like a 360-degree view. I need these details to find closure in my personal journey. I hope with all my heart that all the families of the hostages will also be able to find their closure.”
