Editing Yerachmiel Benyaminson (section)

== Early Years ==
Born in 1885 in the town of Beshenkovitz, Lithuania, to a non-Chabad family that apparently was not associated with Chassidism.

Being exceptionally talented, Rabbi Yerachmiel excelled in his studies, and quickly became known as a genius in both revealed Torah, Chassidus and Jewish law. Despite his talents, the young student conducted himself as a true 'Tamim' - all his ways and behaviors were modest, he was a great lover of peace and pleasant in his conduct - traits that endeared him to his acquaintances, and most importantly - devoted with all his being to our holy Rebbes.

In his youth, his father - who was a Torah-respecting Jew - sent him to the Slabodka Yeshiva, which was a famous Lithuanian yeshiva, so that he would grow in Torah.

Young Yerachmiel - being a talented student - quickly integrated into the circle of learners, but at some point felt that something wasn't right in the entire yeshiva system. During that period, the good name of the Tomchei Tmimim Yeshiva of Lubavitch became known throughout the world. Yerachmiel decided that this was the yeshiva suitable for him.

One day he took his pack, and together with another friend - with whom he agreed to move to Lubavitch - they set out on the long journey into White Russia - to the town of Lubavitch where the Tomchei Tmimim Yeshiva was located at that time.

Student Yerachmiel was accepted to study in the yeshiva, and quickly became a regular student and connected with all his soul to the Rebbe Rashab.
