SIYUM HELD IN JAPANESE JAIL

The youngest of the three bochurim currently incarcerated in Japan celebrated a remarkable siyum this past week. Although the Japanese prison authorities are stringent concerning letting in food, they liberally allow in books and newspapers. The young bochur, finding himself in the terrifying conditions of a foreign prison where he doesn’t know the language or a soul, decided to put his long prison time to good use. Just in time for Shavuos, he finished learning the entire Mishnah Berurah.


This impressive accomplishment behind Japanese prison walls is proof that while one’s body can be broken, his spirit can uphold him even in life’s harshest ordeals.
