Dear bachurim,
It is truly a shame that some of you are choosing to go out to community families for Shabbos seudos instead of eating with the yeshiva. Do you not understand the gadlus of Shabbos in yeshiva?
We are blessed to have a space dedicated to the kedusha of Shabbos, where we can focus on Torah learning and davening without the distractions of the outside world. But instead of taking advantage of this sacred opportunity, some of you are finding excuses to leave the yeshiva and miss out on the ruach and camaraderie of a Shabbos seudah with your fellow bachurim.
Do you not realize the importance of being mechabeid each other in our observance of Shabbos? By going out to community families, you are missing out on the opportunity to inspire and be inspired by your fellow bachurim in our shared commitment to Shabbos observance.
Furthermore, by going out to community families, you are sending a message that you do not value the yeshiva's Shabbos experience. This is a grave disservice to the hard work and dedication of the mashgichim and staff who strive to create a meaningful and uplifting Shabbos experience for all of us.
I implore you, bachurim, to reconsider your choices and embrace the gadlus of Shabbos in yeshiva. Let us come together as a yeshiva and experience the true joy and holiness of Shabbos in this sacred space.
Sincerely,
The Mashgiach

Dear bachurim,
I am deeply saddened and disappointed to hear that many of you are finding excuses to leave the yeshiva on Shabbos and go to community families for seudos instead of staying and eating with the yeshiva.
What has happened to the gadlus of Shabbos in our yeshiva? How can we forget the sanctity and beauty of Shabbos and instead choose to go out to eat at someone else's table?
Shabbos is a time for us to come together as a community, to daven, learn, and eat together. It is a time for us to bond and connect with one another and with Hashem. When we go out to eat with others, we miss out on this opportunity and we deprive ourselves of the richness and spiritual nourishment that Shabbos has to offer.
Furthermore, by going out to eat with others, we are disrespecting the yeshiva and the hard work and effort that goes into preparing Shabbos meals for us. We are showing that we do not appreciate the efforts of our mashgiach and the kitchen staff, who work tirelessly to provide us with delicious and nourishing meals.
But it's not just about the food and the community. Shabbos is also a time for us to disconnect from the distractions and stress of the week and to connect with Hashem. It's a time for us to recharge and refocus our minds and hearts on what is truly important. When we go out to eat with others, we miss out on this opportunity and we deprive ourselves of the spiritual growth and growth that Shabbos can bring.
I implore each and every one of you to reconsider your decision to leave the yeshiva for Shabbos seudos. Let us embrace the gadlus of Shabbos and come together as a community to celebrate and enjoy the beauty of this holy day. Let us take the time to disconnect from the distractions and stress of the week and to reconnect with Hashem and with one another.
And to those of you who are still hesitant, I ask you to consider the words of the Chofetz Chaim, who wrote, "The mitzvah of Shabbos is like a king who comes to visit a city. All the residents of the city come out to greet the king and to honor him. In the same way, on Shabbos, we must come out to greet the Shabbos and to honor it. We must prepare ourselves and our homes to receive the Shabbos with all the honor and respect it deserves."
Let us honor the Shabbos and embrace the gadlus of Shabbos in our yeshiva.
Sincerely,
Your Mashgiach
