A Message from


Rav Yitzchok Knobel, Shlit”a


Rosh Kollel






“Do not forget what you saw (at Har Sinai) and tell it to

your descendants.”




According to the ן’’במר, this is one of the 248 השע תוצמ,

which many of לארשי ינב וניחא say daily at תירחש. What does it

incorporate, and why is it so pivotal?




The ן’’במר, at the conclusion of Parshas Bo, explains


why so many תוצמ are םירצמ תאיציל רכז. The various forms of

disbelief in Hashem fall into three categories. There are those

that claim the world is not the work of a Supreme Creator, but

somehow happened. At the time of םירצמ תאיצי, however, and

for all of the periods of the םיאיבנ; the prevailing belief was that


our world, which reflects such plan and purpose, has to be the

work of a Supreme Intelligent Creator. Rather, they maintained

that the Creator set it into motion in a way that He would not

be involved, given that the Earth is only a speck in our own

solar system, and certainly in the entire universe.





Klal Yisroel in Mitzrayim, due to their environment, had

become influenced by these alien beliefs. The םיסנ incorporated

in the entire הלואג process, the תוכמ and ףוס םי תעירק, came

to disprove these falsehoods. Therefore, since Hashem wants


these םיסנ to remain fresh and vibrant in our minds, daily in

הליפת – morning and evening before הרשע הנמש – we mention

םירצמ תאיצי – and specifically תורוכב תכמ and ףוס םי תעירק.

Pesach and Sukkos, of course are major reminders, and, for the


men and boys, תיציצ and ןיליפת.




In view of this, it is especially interesting to learn the

Rosh Kollel (continued)






ם’’במר in א ’לה ’חפ ,הרותה ידוסי ’לה’

תותואה ינפמ וב ונימאה אל ונבר השמ

We do not base our הנומא in the האובנ of ונבר השמ upon the


many םיסנ performed through him, שי תותואה יפ לע ןימאמה יכ

םי יפוצ ובלב – because any faith based purely upon miracles has

a flaw – perhaps it is merely a supermagic and need not have


been a work of Hashem, ו’ח




יניס רה דמעמב ,וב ונימאה המבו – The only unshakeable הנומא

is based upon what took place at יניס רה, when millions of ינב

לארשי heard directly Hashem speaking to him. However, how

do we connect to three thousand years ago? The answer is

הרוסמ. The mitzvah concludes – and tell it to your generations


after you. We are all beneficiaries of this הרוסמ. In the world

around us, where beliefs and fads come and go because they

have no anchor, how blessed are we to have such clarity.




Yeshiva Mesoras Hatorah is built upon this principle;


the faithful transmission by the generation of Roshei Yeshiva

and Rabbeim to the talmidim. It is this which draws so many

wonderful bochurim each year.




Our Guests of Honor, Dr. & Mrs. Justin Hirmes, are


very prominent in the Yeshiva Family. The entire חור of their

home, blessed with their beautiful family, ערה ןיע ילב, is

permeated with דסח in its highest level. They are very close to

our החפשמ, and thirst for the ’ה רבד in every aspect of their


lives. They represent a link to beautiful longtime families in our

community.



Rabbi Yosef Richtman, a founding member of the Kollel,

has been an innovation from the very beginning. Still running

along with its charter members who have been several times

through the Mishna Brura. His genuine concern for the תוינחור


of every yid has propelled him to reach out and teach many

Reb Menashe Benedict has been a Marbitz Torah when

A Message From


Rav Moshe Zev Katzenstein, Shlit”a


Rosh Yeshiva






Here we are, once again celebrating another year of the

Yeshiva’s success and accomplishments. We are now in the

fifteenth year of the Yeshiva Gedolah’s existence in its present


state in the community. Fifteen is also the number of steps

leading into the Bais Hamikdash. The Kohen would ascend

these steps reciting a different one of the Shir Hamaalos on

every step. The Yeshiva has ascended many steps, each taking


us to a higher level of engagement, productivity, and םש שודיק

םימש. At each level, we need to sing a ריש to acknowledge the

ascent. We are truly able to sing a song of gratitude to Hashem

for the gift He has given us to accomplish with so many people.

We can also sing a song that expresses בוטה תרכה to all of you

who have helped us reach these plateaus. To the Bnei Yeshiva


who have created a standard of commitment and to the Baalei

Baatim who appreciate it and enhance it – Thank You!




These same steps lead into the Azara. The Kohen uses

them to enter into the place of higher Kedusha. This is also


appropriate in that the Yeshiva represents an opportunity

for each individual to enter into a place of greater levels of

Torah and Kedusha. The Yeshiva, through the Bnei Torah

who comprise it, represents an unwavering standard that is

consistent with the Mesorah upon which it is built. All of the


members of the Yeshiva Family are seeking to be part of that

elevated standard and want to ascend the steps to enter the

sanctuary that embodies it. Each step that brings us closer to

entering those hallowed halls is punctuated with Shir – with


song.




These fifteen years have represented tremendous אתעייס

אימשד, real growth in the facility, the size of the Yeshiva and the






















Home Intro Sponsorship Diamond Emerald Ruby Platinum


Gold Silver Full Half Quarter Greeting Birchas Hamazon

A Message From


Rav Moshe Zev Katzenstein, Shlit”a


Rosh Yeshiva (continued)






number of Baalei Batim that call it their home. The era of

single bochurim has evolved to the building of new homes. The

era of Brisim has continued to the Simcha of Bar Mitzvas. The


small storefront has evolved into a beautiful facility, in which

every corner is being used for Torah, Mussar and Kiddush Shem

Shomayim.




In looking back, I am grateful for the opportunity to work


together with Rabbi Knobel, Shlit”a, in creating a partnership

dedicated to building Torah and Torah Families. He has allowed

me to join him in continuing to build a fortress of Torah and

Hashkafa that he started almost 40 years ago. The Yeshiva

could not have achieved its success without the Chashuva


presence of Rabbi Knobel and his Rebbetzin. In addition, I

must express my gratitude to Baruch Moskowitz for his tireless

devotion to the building and maintaining of the Yeshiva. He

and his staff are tireless and devoted in their roles as guardians

of the Yeshiva. I am grateful to the Rebbeim who have shown


שפנ תריסמ for the Yeshiva and its Talmidim, way beyond the

call of duty. The Board of Directors, led by Mr. Adam Goller,

has undertaken the responsibilities of directing the Yeshiva

and doing what is necessary to ensure its continued success.

As well, I would like to acknowledge the work of the N’shei


and the hard work of many dedicated women to provide an

environment for the women of our Kehilla to grow.




And finally, I am grateful to the honorees who have not


only undertaken the discomfort of being honored, but are true

representatives of what the Yeshiva tries to accomplish. Dr. &

Mrs. Justin Hirmes are two individuals who will do anything, big

or small, to further the cause of Torah, Avodah, and Kiddush

Hashem. Rabbi and Mrs. Yosef Richtman are a selfless

embodiment of servants of Hashem, sparing nothing

in their quest to bring more people to appreciate Torah and

create an environment of excitement in Torah and Mitzvos for


young and old alike. Reb Menashe and Mrs. Benedict are a true

family of Talmidim, who have used their unique capabilities

to endear everyone they come in contact with, to Torah and

Hashem. They have taken their talents to Philadelphia and are

accomplishing Kiddush Hashem on all levels.





I will end with a Tefilla that the Yeshiva should continue

to have Siyatta Dishmaya in bringing honor to the Torah and to

Hakadosh Boruch Hu. We should continue to address the needs

of the Bochurim, Yungerleit, and Baalei Batim in Torah and Yiras


Shomayim, and together we should become a piece of the

necessary elements in bringing Moshiach so that we can all live

in ונימיב הרהמב שדוקה ריע םילשורי!

A Message from


Adam Goller, President








This past Shabbos, we read about Yisro and how he

and the Jewish people mutually impacted each other. Chazal

tell us that Yisro had many names, each for a different reason.


We are also told that what separated Yisro from others was his

ability to see the events that occurred and glean from them the

positive, which led him to join the Jewish people. Others see the

same events and take only what works for them, failing to see

the truth and, equally sad, failing to grow from them.




The Yeshiva has transitioned in many ways over the past

few years, following the events that created its establishment in

the Woodmere community. Many beautiful shuls have opened


around us and we continue to provide the backbone of Torah

to all those who desire it, in whatever way we can. That means

different things to different people and families. Whether it is

for Torah, tefilla or both, the Yeshiva remains committed to

helping everyone grow to their potential.




The growth of the Yeshiva continues to exceed

expectations. What started as a small kollel has blossomed

into a community beis medrash full of yungerleit, outstanding

bochrim and serious baalei batim who all strive to grow in


Torah learning and in Yiras Shamayim. What was once a minyan

which was sparse is now a source of beauty and vibrancy on

a given day, Shabbos or Yom Tov. Growth can be seen in the

number of people, children and adults, who now make use of

the Yeshiva to learn, both during the week and on Shabbos.


We take particular pride in the beautiful avos u’banim program

where we get to see multiple generations, often three, come

to learn together. From an early morning chabura to chavrusa

learning late at night, the Yeshiva continues to facilitate growth

to all those who seek it. Recently, Yeshiva added a Thursday

night mishmar program for boys, amongst other initatives. The

mishmar is attended by boys all over the neighborhood. The

practical learning of Halacha, such as how to make tzitzis, gives


the boys a true appreciation of the Mitzvah.


Yeshiva Gedolah continues to try and find ways to add

programs and accommodate different interests in learning. The


number and level of bochrim continues to grow, as the interest

in attending the Yeshiva continues to proliferate worldwide.

The kollel continues to thrive and far more of the students

who get married are staying local and learning in the Yeshiva

or working and learning when they have opportunity in the


Yeshiva, while raising their beautiful families. As important, the

number of local residents using the Yeshiva keeps expanding.

Our minyanim have seen increases in the number of people

attending. Night seder is seeing many new faces at various

points during the week. Other programs, such as women’s


shiurim and events, as well as others have been a success. We

continue to try and think of ways that the Yeshiva can increase

harbotzas Torah within our community.



Dr. and Mrs. Justin Hirmes are a beautiful example of the


totality of the relationship between the community and Yeshiva.

Justin and his family, anchored by his aishes chayil, have chosen

to make the Yeshiva and our community home. Justin frequents

the Yeshiva for daily sedarim, Shabbos davening, always looking

to help in any way possible. Be it setting up the Kiddush, doing


the small things, or when the morning of the Chanukas Habayis

the Yeshiva had to go rent a truck due to rain, it was him

getting it done in his quiet way. Mrs. Hirmes herself is always

looking to help where possible, including with N’shei events.

Specifically, she organizes the N’shei’s tehilim group, which

Gold Silver Full Half Quarter Greeting Birchas Hamazon

connects the women in a beautiful and meaningful way

around Tefilah. Both are local products from families who are

so supportive of how they are raising their beautiful family. We


could not be prouder in having them recognized as our Guests

of Honor.



Rabbi and Mrs. Yosef Richtman are mechanchim,


proliferators of Torah in our community and beyond. Uniquely,

they are from the founding members of the kollel. We

are pleased to be able to recognize them with the Avodas

Hakodesh Award. The Richtmans impact the Yeshiva in so

many ways. The obvious is the beautiful learning programs


for children, but it is the less obvious that makes them such a

special family.



The Harbotzas Torah Award is appropriately being

given this year to Rabbi and Mrs. Menashe Benedict. I have


heard about the energetic way the Benedicts influence the

Philadephia community, trying to enhance the ruchniyus of

others. Menashe is a former talmid who thrived in the Yeshiva

and still maintains such a close connection. His father was

instrumental in helping the Yeshiva construct its building and


that commitment to Torah is apparent in the next generation.


There are many others who have played and continue

to play such a large part in the success of the Yeshiva. My wife

and I truly appreciate all those who enable the Yeshiva to be


there for our family and many others. As we reflect tonight,

let’s appreciate those who have dedicated themselves to our

success. As we look forward, let’s try and consider the ways in

which we can all increase and maintain the level of kedusha

within our homes and community, through the medium of


Torah. Thank you all for coming and for your support.

Guests of Honor


Dr. Justin and Riki Hirmes








It is always special when a family’s connection


to the Yeshiva is holistic. While Justin is a regular in


Yeshiva, both during the week and on Shabbos, it is


the presence, however often, of the rest of the family

that makes this couple special. The Hirmes family does


all of the little things which people don’t necessarily


notice, but are important and meaningful. It could be


setting up the Kiddush, helping with meals for those

who are in need, organizing Tehilim and so much


more. They have chosen to raise their family with a


deep sense of chessed through action, not just words,


and sincerity in everything they do.





The Hirmes family moved to Woodmere almost


nine years ago. Justin, who grew up in Woodmere,

attended HAFTR until leaving to study in Reishit


Yerushalayim in Israel. Upon returning, he attended


and graduated from Lander College, staying at Touro


to earn his DPT in physical therapy, which he now


practices privately. Aside from all of his responsibilities,

Justin is an active member of Hatzala for the past 13


years.





Riki (fka Bernstein) Hirmes also grew up in


Woodmere and attended HAFTR. Following a year of


study at Midreshet, she attended Adelphi and then


Molloy to ultimately earn degrees as a nurse and

Gold Silver Full Half Quarter Greeting Birchas Hamazon

Dr. Justin and Riki Hirmes (continued)








nurse practitioner. She recently joined LIJ after 8 years


at NYU. Additionally, she practices at Urgent MD.


Aside from her busy work schedule and family, Riki is


active in organizing Yeshiva events, as well as many

programs at Bnos Bais Yaakov.






Both of them use their professions as vehicles


for chessed and Kiddush Hashem. The Hirmes have

B”H a beautiful family. Zev, attends Darchei Torah,


while Shayna and Deena attend Bnos Bais Yaakov.


Leeba and Esther are at home. The Yeshiva is certainly


appreciative of their ongoing support and help in so

many ways and excited to be able to show our hakaras


hatov to them this year.

Avodas Hakodesh Award


Rabbi Yosef and Shani Richtman








There are many ways that people contribute


to the growth of an institution. In the case of the


Richtman family, there are just too many to list.


Everything from the weekly divrei Torah, the food in

the Yeshiva, Mosher Kosher, Avos U’banim and so


many other things, Yosef is there to fill in the blanks.


Regardless, when it comes to the Richtman family,


nothing is done or said without a smile, dedication

and selflessness. The Yeshiva is fortunate to have them


as members of its hanhala. Outside of Yeshiva, Yosef


volunteers for many organizations and also assists


in running programs for Siach Yitzchok. Yosef can

be seen all over the neighborhood during the week,


running to a chavrusa or to do a chesed.





He grew up in St. Louis and Chicago, graduating


from Skokie Yeshiva High School before learning at


Bais Yisroel for the following 4 years. During his 4th


year in Bais, Yosef married his wife Shani. When they


returned to America, Yosef learned in Yeshiva Sh’or

Yashuv for one year, after which he joined the then


newly formed YGFT Kollel. After learning full time in


the Yeshiva for several years, Yosef was added to the

YGFT staff as Director of Special Projects. He is truly


instrumental in the Yeshiva’s success.

for all that the Richtmans do for us at this year’s

Harbotzas Torah Award


Rabbi Menashe & Amanda Benedict







It is always rewarding when alumni move on


and are so productive and integral to their new


communities. It is, as much as anything else, a


testament to the Yeshiva, its rebbeim and overall

environment. The Benedict family is continually


allowing the Yeshiva to take pride in their


accomplishments. Their collective dedication to the


Yeshiva and the growth of Torah is an inspiration to us

all.






Menashe learned in Yeshiva and excelled.


As a young boy, he grew up in Queens, attending

Tiferes Moshe and South Shore respectively. After


time at Yeshiva Tiferes Yerushalayim, Bais Yisroel


and Mir in Eretz Yisroel, Menashe came to study at

the Yeshiva. His energy and passion for Torah and


yiddishkeit earned him a sterling reputation amongst


his rebbeim and peers. After learning in the Yeshiva’s


kollel, following his marriage to Amanda, for 2 years,


Menashe went to learn again in Eretz Yisroel, going

back to the Mir. Subsequently, the Benedicts settled


in the Philadelphia community to join the local kollel


where, aside from learning full time, he learned with

community members at night. After 3 years in the


kollel, Menashe took on a role teaching and doing


kiruv at local universities, under the Meor program. It


is here where Menashe’s deep love for Torah and

(continued)







chesed make him a true asset to those he teaches.

Aside from all of that, Menashe makes time to be part


of an organization called the Chevra, who give weekly


shiurim in the city to young Jewish professionals.




Amanda (fka Tammam) Benedict grew up


in West Orange, NJ and attended both Kushner


elementary and Bruriah High School. After studying at


Midreshet in Eretz Yisroel, she eventually pursued her

sonography degree and currently works at Mainline


Healthy Hospitals in the Philadelphia area. Amanda


juggles her professional career with her responsibilities

at home with her growing Mishpacha.






Both respective set of parents’ love for Torah


and chessed is evident in the home that the Benedicts

are building. Of note, Menashe’s father, Dani


Benedict, was instrumental in helping the Yeshiva


obtain the construction financing for our current


building. We are proud to be able to acknowledge

their efforts and accomplishments. The Benedicts find


opportunities to come visit the Yeshiva, as frequently


as possible.
