  At the start of the Covid 19 breakout, the uncertainty was unsettling. Students couldn't decide if they should stay or leave and almost all other Yeshivot were deciding to close and send their students home. Mayanot had that same choice to make, as the safety of the students was their number one concern.  Ultimately, due to needs of the students Mayanot found a way to remain open according to Health Guidelines.   Rabbi Yisroel Noach Wichnin , Rosh Yeshiva at Mayanot shared, “We have a   responsibility to our students and our duty doesn't end because there is Corona. We needed to keep in mind the best interest of our talmidim, their physical health definitely, but also their emotional, spiritual and intellectual health. That is why we at Mayanot decided to stay open.” Rabbi Kasriel Shemtov , Executive Director stated, “Many of our students didn’t have Kosher for Passover homes to go back to and we had a dilemma, so we immediately got in contact with health officials and

I had met the man only once, yet through his teachings I felt so close to him. I’ve been reading his book,   Lessons in Leadership , once a week for almost a year. I listened to many of his audio classes and interviews, especially enjoying his appearances in secular mediums, like his   recent interview with Tim Ferriss . It’s not difficult to describe why I am so attracted to Rabbi Sacks’ teachings. He was, in my opinion, a great rabbinic leader who made Torah accessible. His ability to dance between biblical sources, academic references, and business lessons was supremely attractive to my modes of thinking, learning, and perceiving the world around me.
