On 11 Iyar in 1993, Professor Shimon Silman wrote a letter to the Rebbe MHM asking if we should establish an institute to organize annual conferences regarding Moshiach and science research to be called the “Rabbi Yisroel Aryeh Leib Research Institute on Moshiach and the Sciences.” Later in the afternoon, towards the end of that day’s conference session, he received a message that the Rebbe MHM gave his consent and blessing. Thus, the RYAL Institute was established, and with G-d’s help we have held a Moshiach and Science conference every year since, in addition to various lectures, publications, etc.
