On Pesach, we relive our journey from Mitzrayim – meitzar yam, the narrow straits of the sea, symbolizing personal and national constriction. David HaMelech teaches us in T’hilim: “Min ha’meitzar karasi Kah – From the narrow place I called out to Hashem.”

In a joyous celebration of Torah leadership, bold vision, and the strength of community, the RIETS Evening of Tribute, held on March 25, was among the most successful in the Yeshiva’s history, drawing over 600 guests from around the world—including Torah scholars, alumni, community leaders, musmachim and students—and raising more than $3 million.
