A special asifah will be held in Lakewood on Tuesday night to commemorate the 40th yahrtzeit of Harav Yaakov Kamenetsky zt”l.
The gathering, dedicated to divrei zikaron in honor of the revered Rosh Yeshiva, will take place at Yeshiva K’tana of Lakewood, located at 120 Second Street. The program is scheduled to begin at 7:30 p.m., with Maariv to follow.
Attendees will hear reflections and divrei hisorerus from prominent rabbanim, including Rav Ze’ev Kamenetsky, Rav Yitzchak Knobel, Rav Daniel Neustadt, and Rav Avrohom Greenfield, Rosh Yeshiva of Yeshivas Ohr Yisroel and a talmid of Rav Yaakov zt”l.
An Ezras Nashim will be available to accommodate women.
Rav Yaakov was strongly opposed to long term Kollel for the masses. Not sure if it was mentioned by the speakers.
Source please. And he was niftar 40 years ago, are you sure he would say that today too?
