Guest Speaker, Rabbi Moshe Wilhelm, from Portland, Oregon spoke about the idea of Shnas HaYovel, which is compared to a Shofar and connected it to Oholei Torah’s growth over the past 50 years. A Shliach from Mission Viejo, California, Rabbi Zalman Marcus, spoke of his fond memories of Oholei Torah and how the Hanhola opened him, and the group of boys that came that year from CA, into the chassideshe atmosphere that OT is known for.
Yossi Malamud was the Master of ceremonies, and the event was organized by Rabbi Nosson Blumes.
During the Kinnus two video presentations were shown of Alumni memories and of Reb Michoel Teitelbaum.

what do you think about that induvidual that got up in the middle of the event to complain about the yehsivas?
NOT IMPORTANT!
what did he complain about?
Prejudice
I watched the video, he really spoke strongly about something he believes in. Its not a complaint towards the Yeshivas as much as it is towards the Hanhala. They kick numerous boys out of school and it destroys a child. Personally, I enjoyed watching someone grap the mike and talk with passion. Enough of everyone being polite and poitically correct.
