Gush News

According to last night's special announcement:

"Ben Shemonim LeGevura " (Avot 5:25)

In light of HaRav Amital's upcoming 80th birthday, and upon HaRav Amital's request, the Roshei Yeshiva and the Administration have decided to choose Rav Yaakov Medan and Rav Baruch Gigi to serve as Roshei Yeshiva alongside HaRav Amital and HaRav Lichtenstein - may they continue to serve many more years. The appointment of Rav Y. Medan and Rav B. Gigi as additional Roshei Yeshiva will go into effect during the 5766 academic year.

This isn't surprising - although I'm not sure how the yeshiva will have 4 roshim- and I don't know how welcoming Gush will be when those two will be the main heads. We knew this day would come; somehow I thought they'd keep one RY who spoke English...
