Grand Hyatt Hotel, New York City

We look forward to an amazing turnout. Hope to see you there.

Unable to attend in person? A dinner journal is being prepared

with tributes being written to the honorees.

We especially ask our talmidim, both of the Yeshiva and of the Virtual Beit Midrash, to show appreciation for our Rosh Yeshiva, a man whose words and actions have inspired generations of talmidim throughout Klal Yisrael.

A Hungarian survivor of the Holocaust, Rav Amital emigrated to Israel in 1944, and resumed his yeshiva studies in Jerusalem. During the War of Independence, he served in the Hagana armored corps, taking part in the famous battle of Latrun. Subsequently, he took an active role in the development of Yeshivat Hadarom, where he was involved in the formulation of the idea of Yeshivat Hesder. Following the Six Day War, Rav Amital founded and assumed leadership of Yeshivat Har Etzion. He is a dominant public figure in Israel who is widely respected on matters of religious and national concern.
