Rosh Yeshivas Slabodka HaGaon HaRav Dov Landau on Sunday morning instructed Klal Yisrael – men, women, and children – to repeat Perek 91 of Tehillim – Yosheiv B’Seiser – due to the difficult situation in Eretz Yisrael.
The Rosh Yeshivah added that the tzibur should repeat the perek passuk by passuk after tefillos in shuls.
HaRav Landau also instructed to begin the winter yeshivah zeman on Monday in order to increase the zechus of limmud Torah during this time. The Rosh Yeshivah clarified, however, that it must be done in accordance with the instructions of municipal authorities and Israeli security forces.
In a letter written by the Rosh Yeshivah and signed by HaGaon HaRav Moshe Hillel Hirsch and HaGaon HaRav Baruch Dov Povarsky, HaRav Landau wrote: “It is appropriate in all respects, in the light of the very serious and unclear situation, that the winter zeman begin on Sunday or Monday…subject to the guidance of the authorities.”
On Motzei Shabbos, HaRav Landau ordred that limmudim be canceled at all Talmudei Torah on Sunday, Isru Chag, due to fear of situations of pikuach nefesh on the streets and in schools, and all ordered the cancellation of all hakafos shniyos at all yeshivos.
פרק צ”א המלא:
יֹשֵׁב, בְּסֵתֶר עֶלְיוֹן בְּצֵל שַׁדַּי יִתְלוֹנָן.
אֹמַר לַיהוָה מַחְסִי וּמְצוּדָתִי אֱלֹהַי אֶבְטַח בּוֹ.
כִּי הוּא יַצִּילְךָ מִפַּח יָקוּשׁ מִדֶּבֶר הַוּוֹת.
בְּאֶבְרָתוֹ, יָסֶךְ לָךְ וְתַחַת-כְּנָפָיו תֶּחְסֶה צִנָּה וְסֹחֵרָה אֲמִתּוֹ.
לֹא תִירָא מִפַּחַד לָיְלָה מֵחֵץ יָעוּף יוֹמָם.
מִדֶּבֶר בָּאֹפֶל יַהֲלֹךְ מִקֶּטֶב יָשׁוּד צָהֳרָיִם.
יִפֹּל מִצִּדְּךָ אֶלֶף וּרְבָבָה מִימִינֶךָ אֵלֶיךָ לֹא יִגָּשׁ.
רַק בְּעֵינֶיךָ תַבִּיט וְשִׁלֻּמַת רְשָׁעִים תִּרְאֶה.
כִּי אַתָּה יְהוָה מַחְסִי עֶלְיוֹן שַׂמְתָּ מְעוֹנֶךָ.
לֹא תְאֻנֶּה אֵלֶיךָ רָעָה וְנֶגַע לֹא יִקְרַב בְּאָהֳלֶךָ.
כִּי מַלְאָכָיו יְצַוֶּה לָּךְ לִשְׁמָרְךָ בְּכָל דְּרָכֶיךָ.
עַל כַּפַּיִם יִשָּׂאוּנְךָ פֶּן תִּגֹּף בָּאֶבֶן רַגְלֶךָ.
עַל שַׁחַל וָפֶתֶן תִּדְרֹךְ תִּרְמֹס כְּפִיר וְתַנִּין.
כִּי בִי חָשַׁק וַאֲפַלְּטֵהוּ אֲשַׂגְּבֵהוּ כִּי יָדַע שְׁמִי.
יִקְרָאֵנִי וְאֶעֱנֵהוּ עִמּוֹ אָנֹכִי בְצָרָה אֲחַלְּצֵהוּ וַאֲכַבְּדֵהוּ.
אֹרֶךְ יָמִים אַשְׂבִּיעֵהוּ וְאַרְאֵהוּ בִּישׁוּעָתִי.
אַחֵינוּ כָּל בֵּית יִשְׂרָאֵל הַנְּתוּנִים בַּצָּרָה וּבַשִּׁבְיָה הָעוֹמְדִים בֵּין בַּיָּם וּבֵין בַּיַּבָּשָׁה הַמָּקוֹם יְרַחֵם עֲלֵיהֶם וְיוֹצִיאֵם מִצָּרָה לִרְוָחָה וּמֵאֲפֵלָה לְאוֹרָה וּמִשִּׁעְבּוּד לִגְאֻלָּה הָשָׁתָא בַּעֲגָלָא וּבִזְמַן קָרִיב ואִמְרוּ אָמֵן.

Rav Shach cancelled bein hazmanim 50 years ago and the rumor is that he had regrets. Will there be a vacation in the middle of the zman when the war is over?
@aymdock What the flip is wrong with you? This is what you can think of, if you’ll get vacation in middle of the zman if bein hazmanim is cancelled?!?! If you are serious you are a sick person who barely resembles a Yid in his middos – and if you are joking, you are sick, sick letz – how dare you make a joke out of dead, injured, and captured Yidden?
You disgust me. What a sick person you are.
amydock
Is that all you can think of now???
Are you that much of a narcissist?
