In the words of the Rebbe, Z"l
“And we are the ombudsman for the whole world, and we can stand without blemish, with morality, and justice, and care, and be a nation that’s different, and the nation that we’re supposed to be—that we’re designated by G-d to bring forth into the world. And that is what is meant, ‘From Mount Zion will come forth the Torah.’ The Diaspora Yeshiva is the most serious institution that can be, and we want to play that role.”
The Rebbe, Rabbi Mordechai Goldstein, Z”l
Founder of the Diaspora Yeshiva
Father of the Ba’al Teshuvah Movement
Transforming Lives

– Binyamin T.
