The Rosh Yeshiva, Rabbi Shenvald
(colonel in the Armored Corps)
visited this week the Armored Corps' training base in Shizaphon, near Eilat.
During the visit, the Rabbi gave a pep talk to about 300 soldiers.
Rabbi Shenvald told them about his participation with the Hesder Yeshiva soldiers
in the 1982 Lebanon War (that broke out this week 42 years ago),
and about the Yeshiva students' special contribution
to the war's success.
