Nearly 20,000 women worldwide gathered for an uplifting evening of inspiration in preparation for Yom Kippur. The annual event, which began in Lakewood, NJ, drew close to 12,000 attendees at the outdoor gathering and extended to 32 U.S. kollelim through a live feed. Women from 10 European cities, including Basel, Gibraltar, Borehamwood, Berlin, and Amsterdam, joined the following morning. Together, they strengthened their connection to Torah, creating a true Kiddush Hashem.

The event was attended by all the Roshei HaYeshiva of Bais Medrash Govoha, with inspiring words shared by HaRav Yisroel Neuman, HaRav Yerucham Olshin, and HaRav Elya Brudny. The evening was chaired by R’ Menasha Frankel.

Guest speaker Rav Ephraim Eliyahu Shapiro of North Miami Beach highlighted the unique role of Jewish women in supporting Torah. Speakers emphasized the vital contributions of women—whether as wives, mothers, or sisters—who uphold Torah life.

A special video presentation featured HaRav Uren Reich, Rav Nachum Binder, and R’ Yaakov Beer, all sharing powerful messages about the partnership between women and their families’ dedication to Torah learning.

Additionally, a tribute video honored the late Mashgiach HaRav Mattisyahu Salomon zatzal, featuring remarks from his sons, HaRav Yaakov Yehuda and HaRav Moshe Chizkiyohu.

This unforgettable night underscored the essential role of Nashim Tzidkoniyos in shaping the future of Klal Yisroel.
