In honor of Sarah Schenirer’s 80th Yartzheit, 13,000 Bais Yaakov students gathered at Barclay Center today, for a day of inspiration. I just got back, and omg it was so amazing! They had the best speakers (Rabbi Ephraim Waschman, Rebbetzin Rina Tarshish, Rav Malkiel Kotler and a lot more), and it was so cool to see so many BY girls all in the same hall…
A once in a lifetime opportunity! Well there shall eventually be a 90th Johrzeit & a 100th Johrzeit, so I don’t 1quite comprehend how this is being defined a s once in a lifetime opportunity?
147, we will have graduated, and will probably not be in a situation where we can drop everything to attend a Yartzheit gathering in the maids lemon tenday, know what I mean?
My favorite part about it was the flyer advertising the event in Brooklyn on Monday night. They blurred out the faces of all the girls in front of the Beis Yaakov schools.
