Okay, we're here in the refurbished
Vajinhiba. We're continuing with the
history of the Nishiba which was opened
in 1803. The building was opened in
1806. The
the served as the first Rashiva until
1821. His
sons of who is mentioned in the
introduction. He wrote the introduction
on
Nephay. He became the next Rashiva. O
was very involved in communal affairs
and it's very interesting to note that
he worked hand in hand with the sedak of
ladich going many times to St.
Petersburg to speak to the government on
behalf of Jewish needs because of the
son of was very involved in communal
affairs his son-in-law his two
sons-in-law really served at the helm of
the yeshiva
Who are the two son-in-laws
of number one rebel Isaac Frered who
became Rashid at age 30 and the other
son-in-law was the
more reticent
Napali
Berlin of the two between Revelar Isaac
Freed and the Nits Rebelar Isaac Freed
was much more popular so he assumed the
role as the main rashisha of and so
when passed away the mantle of
rashivasha the
man the mantle of rashivasha was taken
over by revelar Isaac freed in in the
year
1849 the only thing was rebel Isaac
freed was very sickly so after four
years he passed away and the nitiv
becomes the rashiva
So you'd expect it would be unanimous
that the nitiv should be the rashiva.
However, rebar Isaac freed had a
son-in-law by the name
of Do Salv the B. So and the
basis dazzled the so now there became
some somewhat of a rivalry between the
son-in-law
of and the grandson of the so they
basically split the role of the rasha
but this became an untenable situation
as you can imagine you're going to have
the and you're going to have
the who's responsible for the finances
of the yeshiva
You know cuz after all the Russia is the
one who's responsible to support the
yeshiva. So they convened the who is on
the number
one. Number
two number
three. Number four
the
magna. He said you know you know what
this feels like to me? It feels like
pashes.
Why? Because if you look at various
there's contention between Adam and the
snake good and bad in good and bad and
the
people and then you have Abraham
and there's always a fight between good
and evil. Not
until is it the fight between good and
good and the brothers. So says
the fight between the and the is
parasa. Ultimately the best and pascin
that both the nits and the basi could
give shir but the mantle of
rashivash went to the
nits but the basi very soon stepped down
and he started the brisk dynasty and the
nits now is at the mantle of the rashima
of
however the
nits grandor
marries the BI's son. Okay. So in the in
the contention between the BI and
the one the B step down but the lady has
a
son marries the granddaughter. So so the
invites the son to come back
to and they both split the shim and
between the and
Now the approaches to learning of the
and were polar opposites.
held if you understand one blood of shas
you know the whole shas the held if you
know the whole you can understand one
blood of shas the held you can't
understand one blot unless you know the
whole the held if you know one blot you
know the whole this was the the two
different pathways of learning in now
actually had a different system than any
other yeshiva at the time you see In
some yeshivas they learn sudius. So
let's say you're learning subus you'll

learn then you'll jump to aos and you'll
jump
to and you jump to that
um and
then in someh they learn straight and
they focus
on in they
learned every area was treated equally.
You learn the hom from beginning to end.
You learn the You learn the gave
on. Hence the
perish. Don't be fooled by the Hamdra
edition in that glass case. This was not
the original edition of the
Hamda. But this is a little bit of the
background of the in the year 1887.
The government forced the yeshiva to
have Russian in their curriculum. So
they try to be yo by taking a minion of
bakan sending them across the street and
whichever buff wanted to dabble in that
the rashivas allow them across the
street to learn a few other subjects.
But eventually this was not enough for
the government. So the yeshiva had to
make a decision. Can the yeshiva remain
open? Because the government was
demanding secular studies from 9:00 a.m.
to 3 p.m. And a bezdon was convened. And
you know who ultimately was on that
bezdon? The
base. And it was decided that the
yeshiva has to close
down. And they opened up
the and they took out
the and they marched the out
of and the doors were locked.
And that was the end of
the and they would go early in the
morning and they would see footsteps in
the snow and they would see every
morning the nitiv would come to the
yeshiva brokenhearted crying at the door
that his beloved mikdash had to be
closed. Ultimately the nitiv heads to
Israel but he became deathly ill in
Warsaw and he passed away in he's buried
in the Warso cemetery and you know who's
buried right next to
him is buried right next to the but said
that the closing of the yeshiva was the
birth of because from there it spawned
many yeshivas all over Europe And this
is the mother of all yeshivas. And even
in its closing, it gave birth to many
many yeshivas that came from the
Yeshiva. Okay.
