After breakfast, the whole Yeshiva headed for the Library and Archives building of Canada, with a special tour that was given of Jacob M. Lowy collection Library, where hundreds of old Jewish books are archived such as a Noidah Be'yehuda with handwritten commentary by one of his students, a Tanach published in 1474 and a rare print of the Zohar from 1500's. The Bochurim enjoyed it very much with many interesting questions and remarks. Here are some photos of this fascinating tour.
