An exciting 'Departure in Peace' ceremony was held at the home of the yeshiva head, the HaGrama Hirsch, with the participation of dozens of kollel heads from all over the country - bringing together tens of thousands of avrechim.

The heads of the kollelim greeted the Rosh Yeshiva with a blessing of "May you depart in peace" ahead of his departure tonight to participate in the closing ceremonies of the "Keren Olam HaTorah" journey.

The heads of the kollel thanked the Rosh Yeshiva for his efforts in establishing the 'World of Torah Fund', and for his activity together with all the great men of Israel in standing up against the decrees on the world of Torah, and for his dedication to raising funds all over the world to establish the world of Torah in the Land of Israel.

The 'Keren Olam HaTorah' campaign has been taking place for two weeks, with the participation of Jewish luminaries, with Mahama Hirsch unable to participate due to a family celebration involving his granddaughter's wedding.

However, after requests from leaders of Jewish communities in the United States, he agreed to participate in the signing ceremonies of the trip.

Grand Master Hirsch will stay in the United States for about three days.
