    It’s very nice showing our impressionable young sons to take off your beard and be honored by our yeshiva!
    How much of his pledge actually came through?
    Please give us a breakdown how it is actually being allocated.
    Thank you for sharing.

  • Moshe

    Lihoir reb michoel and rashag have same yortziet. I was reminded of this after I saw the video

    We have the Ohalei Torah choir singing I don’t know what… wearing yellow shirts??? Not like it used to be with eli lipsker with kids that were dressed like they can go immediately for dollars to the Rebbe.

    Then we have pictures of yungerliet with trimmed beards dressed like idiots.

    And we are bragging? That what? That this who we are?

    Does anyone see where we are heading? Don’t tell me they give tzedakah… or that I am jealous… or that I should get a job…

    I have kids in Ohalei Torah is this what I should look forward to? We are loosing direction and we are going down fast. Someone must get control. We are heading for a disaster.

    Did you see the video? How the guy was saying that we need to bring up doctors and lawyers to pay for the shluchim that are out there? What in the world is going on here?

    We must not allow this to happen.

  • me myself and i

    Why is it that all OT can say they do is “not turn away kids” and “we make shluchim”

  • Chana

    OT DOES actually turn kids away. Little kids and big kids. They are a pretty sorry excuse for a school…
