Consulted Hgray"l: Yeshiva or university?

Otzar Hatorah Yeshiva students in Paris, came to visit the house of Hgray"l Steinman, within a week's vacation in the Holy Land, to receive his guidance and reassurance.


The group was led by Rabbi Amoyal, director of Otzar Hatorah institutions.


The students aged 18, are at a crossroads: Some seek to go out and study at colleges and universities for the purchase of a degree which will bring them use in their lives. But some still want to continue studying Torah.

Rabbi Amoyal, organized the visit to the Holy Land in which students were brought to the home of Hgray"l, to hear his opinion on the matter.


Hgray"l held a long conversation with them, explained to them at length the importance of the study of Torah and the ideal which stands before any profession and other field: "As long as possible," he said, "you must stay in the tent of Torah and not quit, and that way you will become with the help of Hashem great Torah scholars", Hgray"l stressed before them.

In addition, on Shabbos, a group of eighth graders of the Talmud Torah Beer Yehoshu, visited Hgray"l who asked that Hgray"l examine them on their studies.


Before the test began, Hgray"l said why he considers it an important and superior value, making frequent student groups to bring them to the test reactor.


"I was once the home of the Chazon Ish zt"l," he said, "and we talked about learning.
"In the middle, a group of students of the Talmud Torah arrived and requested that Chazon Ish test them on their studies. The Chazon Ish, immediately stopped our deep conversation and said, 'This is the true Talmud Torah which is greater than all other study."

"I also noticed that the Chazon Ish was not hard on them, and asked them simple questions, to allow everyone to respond adequately and not shame G-d forbid those whose knowledge was incomplete. For us it was an important guidance view of Torah."
