To fuel its Torah. The Rosh Yeshivah is intimately involved with the welfare of his bochurim, and takes a personal interest in making sure that all of the weekday, Shabbos, and Yom Tov meals are respectable and appropriate. “The Rosh Yeshivah takes time out of his busy schedule to call and thank me for my work after every Yom Tov,” he says. “Can you imagine?”It’s evident that the warmth, friendship, and appreciation that Dovi has received and continues to receive from those two gedolei Yisrael is what keeps him going strong after all these years.By the Month64,800Eggs39,4308 oz cups of milk3,350Pounds of potatoes2,000Total fed daily between students and staff1475Of whom are studentsMost memorable complimentWhen parents call me to ask how to cook certain dishes so they can replicate our food at homeFood for ThoughtNer YisroelDaniel LevyLunchtime in Ner Yisroel is over, dinner isn’t scheduled for a few hours, and Chef Daniel Levy, bedecked in his black Ner Israel Rabbinical College chef’s coat, has some time before his personal learning seder begins at 4:30. We’re on our way to Daniel’s kitchen headquarters when we’re interrupted by a teenage bochur. He has a request for Daniel: It turns out tomorrow night’s supper is chicken poppers, and the bochur wants to know if Daniel can make sure that he gets a double portion.Daniel listens, nods, jots down the bochur’s name, and assures him he’ll get that double portion. The bochur thanks him and walks away with his shoulders squared and an extra bounce (or pop?) in his step. Daniel turns back to us.“That’s my goal here,” Daniel says, “to feed the bochurim and make sure that each one feels like someone cares about him. They know if they tell me something, I’ll do my best to accommodate.”It was an impromptu lesson into Daniel’s daily grind; his mission here is to serve — primarily food, but also answering any need that may arise.As we continue through the idyllic campus, it’s evident that even if a few of the buildings dotting the 55-year-old campus have aged, life in this oasis of Torah remains vivacious. The beis medrash is full to capacity, its roar audible even outside its sturdy brick walls. Well after shiur has ended, bochurim are seen escorting their rebbeim to their homes on Yeshiva Lane (where many of the Ner Yisroel faculty members reside), utilizing the precious few minutes to speak in learning.But while the beis medrash is the campus’s crown jewel, a yeshivah needs kemach to fuel its Torah. So just a few yards from the main beis medrash stands the newly erected, multimillion-dollar dining and kitchen facility, completed in 2021. The dining room is spacious, airy, and bright, and boasts two large cafeteria-style windows that open onto its gleaming kitchen.Once we’re inside, Daniel quickly surveys his operation before telling us that his culinary journey began as a result of an accident — fairly ironic, considering that today he is reputed among yeshivah chefs to have such superb organizational skills. He takes

Near Shechem.וַיִּסָּ֑עוּ וַיְהִ֣י ׀ חִתַּ֣ת אֱלֹהִ֗ים עַל־הֶֽעָרִים֙ אֲשֶׁר֙ סְבִיב֣וֹתֵיהֶ֔ם וְלֹ֣א רָֽדְפ֔וּ אַחֲרֵ֖י בְּנֵ֥י יַעֲקֹֽב׃וּנְטָלוּ וַהֲוַת דַּחֲלָא דַיְיָ עַל עַמְמַיָּא דִּי בְּקִרְוֵי סַחֲרָנֵיהוֹן וְלָא רְדָפוּ בָּתַר בְּנֵי יַעֲקֹב:They began their journey. The terror of Elohim was upon the [people who were in the] cities that were around them, and they did not pursue the sons of Yaakov.וַיָּבֹ֨א יַעֲקֹ֜ב ל֗וּזָה אֲשֶׁר֙ בְּאֶ֣רֶץ כְּנַ֔עַן הִ֖וא בֵּֽית־אֵ֑ל ה֖וּא וְכׇל־הָעָ֥ם אֲשֶׁר־עִמּֽוֹ׃וַאֲתָא יַעֲקֹב לְלוּז דִּי בְּאַרְעָא דִכְנַעַן הִיא בֵּית אֵל הוּא וְכָל עַמָּא דִּי עִמֵּיהּ:Yaakov came to Luz, which was in the land of Canaan—that is, to Beis Eil—he and all the people that were with him.וַיִּ֤בֶן שָׁם֙ מִזְבֵּ֔חַ וַיִּקְרָא֙ לַמָּק֔וֹם אֵ֖ל בֵּֽית־אֵ֑ל כִּ֣י שָׁ֗ם נִגְל֤וּ אֵלָיו֙ הָֽאֱלֹהִ֔ים בְּבׇרְח֖וֹ מִפְּנֵ֥י אָחִֽיו׃וּבְנָא תַמָּן מַדְבְּחָא וּקְרָא לְאַתְרָא אֵל בֵּית אֵל אֲרֵי תַמָּן אִתְגְּלִי לֵיהּ יְיָ בְּמֵעִרְקֵיהּ מִן קֳדָם אָחוּהִי:There he built an altar, and he called the place Eil Beis Eil, for there Elohim was revealed to him when he was fleeing from his brother.וַתָּ֤מׇת דְּבֹרָה֙ מֵינֶ֣קֶת רִבְקָ֔ה וַתִּקָּבֵ֛ר מִתַּ֥חַת לְבֵֽית־אֵ֖ל תַּ֣חַת הָֽאַלּ֑וֹן וַיִּקְרָ֥א שְׁמ֖וֹ אַלּ֥וֹן בָּכֽוּת׃ {פ}וּמִיתַת דְּבוֹרָה מֵנִקְתָּא דְרִבְקָה וְאִתְקְבָרַת מִלְּרַע לְבֵית אֵל בְּשִׁפּוֹלֵי מֵישְׁרָא וּקְרָא שְׁמֵיהּ מֵישַׁר בָּכִיתָא:Devorah, Rivkah’s nurse, died, and she was buried below Beis Eil, under Allon [on the lower plain].

Your name is Yaakov. No longer will your name be Yaakov, but Yisrael will be your name; and He named him Yisrael.וַיֹּ֩אמֶר֩ ל֨וֹ אֱלֹהִ֜ים אֲנִ֨י

Perhaps even more, it confirms to us that we lack any instrument with which to interpret them at all. If psychologists tried to understand what drove people like Reb Elya using any of the available behavioral models of motivation, they would draw a blank. Ego and personal aspiration were clearly non-existent in his world. He linked into cosmic forces, global human needs and the national eternal needs of Am Yisrael in ways we cannot fathom. He was not confined in the forces that drove him, by the space or the time in which he lived.I recall so clearly only a few years before his passing, how he got up in the middle of aseder (study session) in the Yeshiva one evening and spontaneously started sayingKaddish. The whole Yeshiva stopped learning, stood and answered his soul-wrenching Kaddish. No one knew what caused him to do this, and yet not a single person suggested it was the beginning of senility. We sensed we were witnessing one of those cosmic moments we would never understand. Several hours later the news came through that the Syrian Air Force shot down two Israeli fighter-jets, not very far from Kfar Hassidim. The pilots were killed. The time of the incident: exactly as Reb Elya was reciting Kaddish.Even in his 90’s he had phenomenal physical strength that could only have come from his even more phenomenal power of concentration. He would sit for hours on end focused on a daf gemarrah. I brought him into the Beis Hamedrash one afternoon. He was very old and needed to lean on my arm as we walked from his house to the Yeshiva and up the steps to the Beis Hamedrash. As we walked in he saw a sefer on a table near the entrance. He seemed to be interested and opened it. He bent his knees (refusing the chair I offered him) so that his eyes were closer to the sefer on the table. He stood still in that position completely engrossed in the sefer for well over an hour before he made his way to his seat at the front of the Beis Hamedrash. Harav Simcha HaCohen Kook Shelita told me a couple of weeks ago how moved he was as a child when he saw Reb Elyah (visiting at Chevron Yeshiva soon after his arrival in Eretz Yisrael) concentrating motionlessly on a piece of gemarah for more
