Continuing the Legacy of
Maran HaRav Shach זצ״ל

Yahrzeit: 16 Cheshvan (ט״ז חשון)

As we approach the Yahrzeit of Maran HaRav Elazar Menachem Man Shach zt"l, we pause to remember a towering giant of Torah whose wisdom, humility, and love for Klal Yisrael illuminated generations. His life’s mission — the building and nurturing of Ponevez Yeshiva — continues to inspire thousands of talmidim worldwide.

 

Today, under the leadership of his talmidim and successors, the Yeshiva stands as a living monument to his vision — a beacon of Torah, yiras Shamayim, and ahavas chesed, shaping the hearts and minds of future leaders of Klal Yisrael. Over the decades, it has become the crown jewel of the Torah world, nurturing generations of talmidei chachamim and leaders for Klal Yisrael.

The Yeshiva and its network of institutions:

  • 2,300 bochurim in Yeshiva Gedolah

  • 1,300 avreichim in the kollelim

  • 500 talmidim in Grodna Yeshiva

  • 300 in the Yeshiva Ketana

  • 70 in the Ashdod Yeshiva

  • 300 children in the Talmud Torah – Ashdod

  • 150 boys in the Batei Avot institutions

  • 300 rabbanim, mechanchim, and staff

In his later years, Maran HaRav Shach zt"l offers his heartfelt blessing to Rabbi Eliezer Kahaneman shlit"a, President of Ponevez Yeshiva, before his departure to raise support for the Yeshiva.
 

'מי שמחזק את ישיבת פוניבז׳ הוא מקיים את עם ישראל בא״י ובעולם כולו

 

"Whoever supports Ponevez Yeshiva upholds Klal Yisrael — in Eretz Yisrael and throughout the entire world.”

 

These were the words of Maran HaRav Shach zt"l to the supporters of Ponevez Yeshiva and its Kollel Avreichim — the final message he signed in his lifetime — preserved by many as a guiding legacy for generations.
