or decades, I have been connected to Yeshivas Shavei Hevron. Located in the heart of Chevron, the yeshiva was founded in 1982 by Rav Moshe Bleicher, who used to say, “We are not in Chevron because the Avos are buried there but because they are alive there.”

The Torah of the Avos continues to live, and we strive to connect to it as much as possible.? I started as a talmid, became an avreich (married student), and then headed the yeshiva’s publishing house. Today I am a Ph.D. in Jewish history and thought, but every year, I continue to come to Baltimore and other places to assist the yeshiva.?
