Last week, TABC’s Rabbi Malitzky took one of his shiurim on a trip to Washington Heights. The trip began with a surprise message from Rosh Yeshiva Rav Meir Goldvicht, who they bumped into while walking to the Seforim Sale.

Rav Goldvicht shared with them how the word sefer (book) has the same gematria (numerical value) as the word shem (name). He explained that one’s name and legacy is their own book which they write by the way they act.

The students had their own private time at the Seforim Sale, where Rabbi Malitzky helped the students choose books appropriate to each student’s level and interest.

The talmidim concluded their day with an hour of learning in the YU Beit Midrash.
