Mikdash Melech - A Message from Rabbi Shlomo Diamond

Mikdashmelik, my mind goes back to over 47 years ago when we opened up the Kel and deal and Mikdashmelik was the first kosher legitimate yeshiva spreading to our community of Kai Benil was a uh he had a small little place on Ocean Parkway and that was his yeshiva and over the years he opened up eventually in AI is I think they were in Israel for over 37 years and what they have done to our community is beyond understanding how the impact is, how great the impact is. We have boys who graduate all the different high schools in our community, regular boys from every high school, going to Israel, going going to Mikdash in Israel and little by little becoming developed from a regular high school kid to a budding tamid. They spend a couple of years their year or two in the mikdash and then they come back to America. We have an which uh has close to 400 boys now. We have many of the mikdash boys and they become the from the prime in our community. The impact is beyond understanding. And if we didn't have mikdash in Israel, we wouldn't have anything in Brooklyn because you need that break that they go first to from Brooklyn, graduate high school, leave everything, go to Israel, get turned on, get developed, they have a tremendous group of rabbis that know how to touch almost every different type of boy that goes to the yeshiva to inspire them, to mad them, to guide them, to become true, to learn the techniques of learning, the beginnings of learning to really develop and when they come back the those students of mikdash from usim are unbelievable and they're going into all the yeshiv the post yeshiv that are in our community and they're becoming tremendous and leaders in our community and we have really to give them a tremendous gratitude and all goes back really to Benal and now his son also bra but was the first he was really from the first people who started the yeshiva before the coil that's been forced up for so probably over 50 years ago who started mikdashik as a small little yeshiva but it was the first the first of its kind of a real yeshiva learning real gam and from there going to yalim later on maybe 10 years later 12 years later and establishing what they have and it's just an unbelievable impact and we really this aifa that we're having today this Sunday morning is supposed to be to support them. We have to acknowledge what we have. You know, we don't know the community. The community was barren. It was a wasteland. We had nothing. We had no Torah in our community. Very little Torah. And this is our opportunity to show our and to support the ishib as much as we can because there's no question in the annals of the Syrian community and the renaissance that's took place in the last 50 years goas from the pioneers from the real early ones that really started from the first yeshiv. Therefore, the whole community should support this and show show a genuine to them by supporting them in the best way we can and they should only have all they do. Thank you so much.
