Popack Hosting Tishrei Guests Again This Year
Over the past week and a half, hundreds of Bochurim from Eretz Yisroel have traveled to Crown Heights to spend Tishrei at the Rebbe’s court, a time filled with profound inspiration and connection. The Vaad Hatmimim has taken on the responsibility of caring for all their physical and spiritual needs during this special month. From providing clean, comfortable lodging and daily meals to organizing an extensive learning program with maggidei shiurim and mashgichim, inspiring farbrengens and much more the Vaad ensures the Bochurim have a meaningful and uplifting experience.
Mr. Yoseph Yitzchak Popack, a respected businessman and philanthropist, has once again stepped up in an extraordinary way. Mr. Popack, who owns extensive property in Crown Heights, has graciously sponsored dozens of fully prepared, spacious apartments, providing the Bochurim with a clean and comfortable place to stay.
Each apartment provides ample storage for personal belongings, as well as a clean and comfortable living space, ensuring a pleasant and convenient stay for every Bochur. This generous act enables these young Chassidim to fully immerse themselves in the yeshiva atmosphere, and fuel their tanks of Hiskashrus to the Rebbe for the coming year.
“There has been much talk about there not being enough Hachnosas Orchim for the Tishrei guests,” said Rabbi Tzvi Altein, director of Vaad Talmidei Hatmimim. “The truth is that we are privileged to have a man like Reb Yoseph Yitzchak Popack, who stands out as an extraordinary Machnis Orach and Baal Tzedakah, on an unparalleled level. His caring and giving for the Orchim is a lesson for all. May Hashem bless him in every way possible.”
The Vaad Hatmimim would also like to thank Zalman Lezel, Isaac Hager, and Yitzchok Benabu for their help in making more apartments available for the Tishrei guests. Thanks to their combined efforts, the Bochurim are provided with a home away from home, ensuring they can fully engage in the uplifting atmosphere of Tishrei.

Thank Hashem I don’t have to sleep in one of those beds. They look kind prison beds

You’re looking the wrong way. The bochurim who come here are not here for the gashmius.
AH
No you are looking the wrong way. This would not meet the minimum standards for any official lodging except (maybe) jail
I’m guessing…
…1) that you’ve never seen the inside of a jail, and 2) that you’re very good at carping at those who are doing mitzvos, but not so much at actually stepping up to the plate and doing them yourself.

For years, people who came here didn’t have a normal place to sleep. This is fantastic
