This past week, a group of bachurim from Yeshivas Bais Dovid in Yerushalayim embarked on an exclusive, eye-opening roots journey to Egypt. Over the course of the trip, the bachurim visited many famous sites and the desert traversed by our ancestors before they merited entering Eretz Yisroel.
Yeshiva Bais Dovid, under the esteemed leadership of the Rosh Yeshivah Hagaon Harav Avraham Weisenfeld, shlit”a, offers an exciting trip every year as an incentive to bachurim who invest extra effort in their learning and excel in hasmadah. Over the years, the yeshivah and its bachurim have traveled to Poland where they visited kivrei tzaddikim and other sites of historic Jewish value.
At the beginning of this year’s winter zman, the hanhalah announced that bachurim who maintain their sedarim through the zman would join the Yeshiva on an eye-opening journey to Egypt. Over the course of the trip, the Rosh Yeshivah delivered inspirational shmuessen at sites of unmatched historical significance.
Those who visited Yeshivas Bais Dovid in the past few months marveled at the intensity of the atmosphere in the beis medrash – much of it thanks to the phenomenal incentive the yeshiva provided to their bochurim.
Yeshiva Beis Dovid is geared to American bachurim who are growing in Torah and Yiddishkeit. The Yeshivah has garnered outstanding support and approbation of Gedolei Hador shlit”a for providing hundreds of bachurim who are vacillating between two worlds with a warm, positive environment where they can learn, strive and soar in Yiddishkeit.

This should be taken down as it is forbidden to go back to egypt
This trip happening before Pesach, but I heard it was great!
Really confused: ppl have lived in Egypt all the years
ppl have lived in Egypt all the years
@Realy Confused : It’s only forbidden to return to LIVE in Mitzrayim, even temporarily. It’s okay to visit, as the Rambam says, in Hilchos Milachim 5:8.
@Realy Confused
Going based on your reasoning, The Rambam should be put in cherim (don’t learn his seforim, maybe even burn them) for living in egypt!!!
Jews shouldn’t go to Egypt
One is not supposed to leave EY for vacation
There’s nowhere in EY this yeshiva could’ve taken the boys to?
רמב”ם הלכות מלכים פרק ה הלכה ח
מותר לחזור לארץ מצרים לסחורה ולפרקמטיא, ולכבוש ארצות אחרות, ואין אסור אלא להשתקע שם
It is permitted to return to Mitzraim for business (or leisure) purposes, it is only Ossur to move back to settle down there.
What’s with those crazy costumes they’re donning on this junket? Seems they missed the days working for Pharoh.
I guess you need to go past the hagadata and look deeper into the Tosofos and other commentaries to know what is allowed and not allowed
really confused:Didntthe RAMBAM live in egypt
When a person is living in Eretz Yisroel and Chas VeChalila something happens, you are able to call Hatzalah or the Israeli Police. If you are in Egypt, there is no Hatzalah there and also you can’t call from there the Israeli Police.
The rambam was forced to live in egypt, but says that it is not allowed
