Editing Yeshivas Tomchei Tmimim (section)

== The Founding Vision ==
In 1901, three years after the founding of Yeshivas "Tomchei Tmimim," its founder commanded that the students be brought before him together with the [[Rosh Yeshiva|Roshei Yeshiva]], [[Mashpia|Mashpi'im]] and Mashgichim, and addressed them with these words:

"I make a covenant with you, with the students of Yeshivas 'Tomchei Tmimim' who study today in all the 'systems' (departments) of the yeshiva and with all students who will study in it during this time and future times. Those who are here and those who are not here - I make a covenant of partnership for work with mesiras nefesh for Torah with yiras shamayim and avodah shebalev, without compromises, let the law pierce the mountain."

When establishing the yeshiva, the Rebbe Rashab expressed his demands from the students saying: "I take everything from them (total dedication) but give them everything (all the kochos)."
