Op-Ed: Why Ban a Fundraiser Auction?
This past Motzaei Shabbos, Keren Simchas Chasson V’kallah held a Melave Malka and Chinese auction. Oholei Torah chose to ban the event for students of the Zal at threat of expulsion. Certainly, no student should ever disregard the orders of the Hanholo, with or without threats of expulsion. Further, when the Hanholo permits a Bochur to attend, it is self understood that he can only attend after Seder HaYeshivah. I am quite surprised at the Hanholo’s decision however, because the evening had a lot to offer.
