Bochurim Can’t Buy Food Before Fast As Mir Yeshiva Enforces New 11PM Store Ban
As reported on YWN, stores in the Beis Yisrael/Meah Shearim neighborhood near Yeshivas Mir Yerushalayim have been ordered to close their doors at 11PM each night, leaving hundreds of Bochurim with no place to go shopping for food as they leave Night Seder.
The ban has been enforced by the Hanhala of the Yeshiva, local Rabbonim and Kashrus organizations.
However, this arrangement has left many bochurim frustrated as they get acclimated to the new reality. This came to a head on Wednesday night, 10 Teves, as many would have liked to get something fresh to eat ahead of the fast beginning Thursday morning.The Yeshiva announced they will be serving refreshments between 11 and 11:30PM each night in the yeshiva dining room.
As can be seen in the attached photos, the doors to Nechama Bakery were closed at 11PM sharp, in keeping with the new policy. This was despite a sizable crowd gathering outside seeking to enter the store. The bakery had previously been open 24 hours a day, often with fresh baked goods throughout the night.
The following is the text of an announcement from the Mir Rosh HaYeshiva, Horav Lazer Yudel Finkel Shlita, announcing and explaining the new policies regarding local eateries. The letter, seen this week hanging on the walls around the Yeshiva, is attached in both it’s original Hebrew, and English translated formats.
Divrei Torah need reinforcement. We wish to reinforce the Takana that my father, Maran Rosh Hayeshiva ZT”L established. He gathered the whole yeshiva and cried out from the depths of his heart about the many restaurants and food stores in the area, especially those that are open until late at night, which are a great disturbance to growth in Torah and Yiras Shamayim of the Bnei Hayeshiva. Gathering around these stores during all hours of the day and especially during the sedarim of the Yeshiva, cause much spiritual damage and a tremendous weakening in limud hatorah.
Lately, the situation has become much more rampant. B”H, the local Rabbanim and the Kashrus organizations, especially the Badatz of the Eida Hachareidis and Rabbi Rubin, have reinforced the Takana to close all these stores no later than 11:00 p.m., and we must strenghthen ourselves and stand on guard without without any compromises.
Therefore we wish to emphasize that:
1. It is forbidden to enter at any hour of the day any food store/restaurant that is opened after 11:00 p.m. – including Thursday night and Motzaei Shabbos
2. It is forbidden to enter any food stores/restaurants that do not have a hashgacha on their products.
By abiding by these rules, may we be zoche to grow in Torah and Yiras Shamayim and raise the banner of Torah and those who toil in it.

I DO NOT UNDERSTAND WHY THEY DO NOT GO TO BED ? ?
Gabi they are teenagers it's quite normal in most yeshivos 18 + bochurim are hungry boys and also want kosher outlets to let off steam, you are thinking in the mindset of a middle aged baal haboss. Not in the mindset of a teenager
MR MANCHESTER
AGAIN YOU ARE LIKE THE RABBI WHO GIVES ADVICE TO RABBI STEINMAN ABOUT TAKING EVERYBODY IN TO A SCHOOL SEE MY BLOG ABOUT THAT.
IF THESE BOYS WANT TO ENJOY LIFE THEY SHOULD GO IN TO THE ARMY AND NOT A YESHIVA.
A YESHIVA HAS TO BE RUN IN THE SAME WAY A YESHIVA WAS ALWAYS RUN, IF THEY CAN NOT ADHERE TO THE OLD STYLE YESHIVA THEY DO NOT BELONG THERE
Such belony.
Gabi I didn't say you are wrong, you asked a question why don't they go to bed, I just explained why, it's not an opinion it's an answer
MR MANCHESTER
THE MOST IMPORTANT JOB OF PARENTS IS TO TEACH CHILDREN THE NORMALITIES OF LIFE, IN ISRAEL WE SEE PARENTS AT 10 P.M EVEN LATTER WALKING AROUND THE STREETS WITH LITTLE CHILDREN WHO SHOULD BE IN BED.
I TOLD RABBI MORGENSTERN THAT THE FIRST THING G-D CREATED WAS DAY AND NIGHT ( NIGHT IS TO BE SPENT AT HOME WITH THE WIFE AND FAMILY NOT TO RUN AROUND THE STREETS ).
RABBI MORGENSTERN CHANGES DAY TO NIGHT THAT IS NOT GOOD FOR HIS FOLLOWERS AND THEIR FAMILIES THAT IS WHY HE HAS SO MANY WHO ARE DIVORCED.
THESE BOYS ARE NOT LEARNING A PROPER WAY OF LIFE FOR WHEN THEY GET MARRIED.
IT SAYS HOW GOODLY ARE YOUR TENTS,
WHEN I COME TO ISRAEL ALL THE YOUNGSTERS ARE IN THE STREETS THEY FIND IT TERRIBLE AN IMPRISONMENT TO BE AT HOME.
THIS IS THE ROUTE TO ALL THE DIVORCES THEY DO NOT UNDERSTAND BEING HAPPY IN A JEWISH HOME BOYS AND GIRLS.
Please can you clarify.
Are you saying that buying food late at night is the root cause of all divorces?
I AM SAYING NOT FOLLOWING THE WAYS OF THE TORAH, AS IS WRITTEN
" HOW GOODLY ARE YOUR TENTS "
BEING AT HOME AND SPENDING TIME WITH YOUR WIFE ( NOT ON THE TELEPHONE )
I SEE COUPLES WALKING IN THE STREET NOT TALKING TO EACH OTHER, EACH ONE TALKING ON THE CURSED MOBILE.
WE HAVE TO TEACH YOUNGSTERS WHEN THEY GET MARRIED TO LEARN TO UNDERSTAND AND LOVE EACH OTHER.
WHEN I GOT MARRIED I COULD NOT WAIT TO GET HOME AND SPEND TIME WITH MY DEAR WIFE, THIS BROUGHT A SPECIAL DEAP LOVE, WHICH I STILL HAVE TO THIS DAY, BUT THE PARENTS AND EDUCATORS DO NOT HAVE IT, HOW CAN THEY PASS IT ON
TO DAY A BOY AND GIRL GET MARRIED FOR THE FUCKING PENIS, AND THAT BRINGS A LET DOWN IN LIFE
Gut voch Gabi
Again this is not an opinion merely a fact, in the holy land where many people live in high rise flats with no room to move, so they are out in the street.
Also people can't afford Babysitters so they shlep their kids to chasuneh vorts etc
MR MANCHESTER
NOW YOU ARE GIVING TWO REASONS WHY THEY SPEND SO MUCH TIME ON THE STREETS ON THE SECOND REASON THAT THEY CANT AFFORD BABYSITTERS.
RAV PADWA SAID THAT THEY CAN GET MARRIED AT EIGHTEEN, BUT SHOULD NOT HAVE CHILDREN TILL THEY ARE TWENTY THREE.
THE YOUNGSTERS HAVE NOT HAD A CHANCE TO PLAY OUT THERE CHILDISH YEARS AND ARE IMMATURE FOR THE RESPONSIBILITY OF CHILDREN.
ON THE POINT OF NO ROOM TO MOVE THEY CAN GO TO CLUBS WITH SUPERVISION
I ADMIT THAT THERE IS A PROBLEM BUT THE STREETS RESTAURANTS ARE NOT THE SOLUTION IF THESE BOYS OR GIRLS WERE IN THE SECULAR ARMY THEY WOULD HAVE RESTRAINTS.
AND FRUM BOYS AND GIRLS CAN NOT HAVE A FREE FOR ALL.
