The picture/poster is untouched by me. I'm not sure what those globs are that we see on the heads of Reb Lozer Levy and Rav Mordechai Gifter. It may have been added by the Telshe people at the time.
There was a need to show that a Yeshivah was a place of learning on the same level as a college or university.It was an attempt to raise koved hatorah.
this is not belz this is telz, belz waz was a amall village near the big town of lemberg (lvov) where the people were very premitive and therefore very poor, dirty, ect. look at pictures of the chassidim of bach then and look at the pictures of the belzer chassidim of today.
telz got way much better, while belz is going backwards.
I think he grew up in London and was saved from the War because he was a British citizen. Btw, what is the Lakewood Courtyard,assisted care? How is he doing and does he accept visitors?
Yach hub gehert ish m'pi fish that in der gitte yuhrin, Rabbi Max Gifter would refer to himself as a theologian, i never believed it but that proffesorishe glob on top seems to speak for itself.
Whats with the chatzitza thing? Is it as severe a problem a sguf naki?
Like Whatever I don"t believe it, since Rav Gifter wrote all his life chidushim in Shas and Poskim,even in his early years. He never touched a theological subject, You can trace him down in old Kovtzim as Haprdes, Talpios etc... FYI, for a short time he was a Rav in a Nusach Hoari shul.
Since we are discussing Telz, what is the situation of the Mother yeshiva in Cleveland today , with minimum lashon Hora, are there talmidim there ? Who is in charge ? In reality Charedi Jews have no theology, we are Talmudists or legal or rabbinic scholars , but our Xstian frineds woudl not understand rabbis who are legal scholars or talmudists (what is that) so we call ourselves theologians. Besides the Rav , I can not think of 1 rosh yeshiva or rebbe who was a genuine theologian.(Which does not mean that I have given it much thought) They were as I said Rabbinic or legal scholars, scholars of Homiletics, of Ethics the Chabad peopel are scholars of Mysticism , the Mussarnikim are scholars of ethics or psychology.Perhaps Rabbi Hutner was a theologian (I never read much of his works) Mogen david -It seesm that rabbi E M. Bloch was quit taken by the creation of a Jewish state in 1948. If you look at HaNeeman published in Lita by the Zeirei Agudas israel in the 1930's under the guidance of the Telzer yeshiva, you will see how modern they were. But as I have written many times, in America the students, financial backers etc are all Hungarians , Yekkim,or chassidim so the yeshiva needs to reflect these attitudes. Any comments on the reception that Chief rabbi Amar got in lakewood. I see that its Shabbes shel me there ,1 week its a Teitelbaum the next week the chief rabbi of the Zionist state , who knows if a wealthy Lubavitcher gave them some money they would invite rabbis Reitport or Friedman or Braun to give a shiur....
Schneur Rav Malkiel visited Gutnik in his hey days. His grandfather RAK took money from the Maryatz of Lubavich for his yeshiva, He send him a nice thank you letter.
Schneur So far the Gifter family are in charge on the Telz Yeshiva, with no Bucherim,and reb Boruch Sorotzkins son, Reb Yitzchok is a Rosh yeshiva in a big yeshiva in Lakewood with no affiliation to BMG, with beautiful seforim on multi subjects. He left Telz on a days notice, in order not to create havoc.
actually anon you are wrong, ziggy gifter is not running anything, although he is still in a din torah by the hisachdud against the hanhallah. there are still many big talmidei chachamim there: rav sholom shapiro, rav a.d. goldberg, rav shlomo eisenberger, rav yankel cohen, rav a.d. dowek. etc... the roshei yeshiva rav chaim stein and rav aizik ausband are in need of refuah shleimahs. the high school is doing well but the post high school needs more bochurim.

Schneur, The situation at Telz is complicated. It's hard to describe the matzav without Loshon Horo.
R'Gifter left his son Zalman in charge as menahel. The Beis Medrash rebbeim can't stand him for whatever reason, so it was impossible to run the place. A Din Torah or two paskened that regardless of the Rebbeim's feelings, Zalman had the right to be Menahel, who should run the Yeshiva with the others' input. Things didn't work out. Roshei Yeshiva from all over whose sons stand to inherit their baalus wrote and gave speeches saying that Yeshivas should not be run by yerusha. Someone went to R Eliyashiv, who signed a letter saying that "Ein Achar Maaseh Beis Din Klum" doesn't apply when it's a Mossad that has to be run. So while they were in the process of finding a new Beis Din with all of the shenanigans involved, the Rebbeim staged a coup d'etat by resurrecting a clause in the State of Ohio Articles of Incorporation long ignored that entrusts a Board to run the Yeshiva. They arranged to become Board Members and overthrew Zalman, went to the bank and took over the accounts. When Zalman went to the Bank to make a withdrawal, the Bank said that others had claimed to take over the accounts. Zalman objected and the Bank froze the Accounts. Then everybody jumped on Zalman, accusing him of starving rebbeim and yungeleit. Things went to Court and the Court found in favor of the By-Laws.
So Zalman Gifter has no power. R Chaim Stein had a stroke a few months ago and is in a Nursing Home. So the Yeshiva is being run by the group of all 7 or 8 rebbeim who sign as "Hanhalas Hayeshiva" on the Banquet Journals and letters. The High School seems to be doing well. The Beis Medrash is practically empty, with a few yungeleit learning away. And Rabbi Brog's yeshiva for rich and sincere baalei teshuva helps fill the space at times.
"who knows if a wealthy Lubavitcher gave them some money they would invite rabbis Reitport"
Schneour, Actually ,Rabbi Reitport has at least one son-in-law in Lakewood,by the name of Rotberg. He may have more there.So yes,I"m sure Rabbi Reitport could be saying a shiur in Lakewood.He is a big talmid chochom and mechadesh,tora ugedulah bemokom echod
Grainom, it's apparently true.Isser Zalman Weisberg,son of R'Yankel Weissberg had plans of opening a Chabad yeshiva lemetzuyonim in Lakewood.He set up a website with some historical documents and photos of Rayatz visiting Lakewood, and the letter from R'Aharon thanking him for a donation (the letter may have been about a donation to the yeshiva in Kletzk,Poland,don't remember the details)

I know that R Yankele has Galinsky Lubavitcher eyniklach, not sure if Brod is his eydem, though. He was also a shvogger with Reb Yitzchok Lipshitz, a Lubavitcher mashpia in Yerushalayim.
R' Yisroel Brog is a grandson of R Avigdor Miller and a Sorotzkin son-in-law. He has a Kiruv operation / Yeshiva called Tiferes Avigdor or Ateres Avigdor in Wickliffe OH, and lives on the Telz Campus, where his Talmidim / Balebatim built a Beis Medrash Annex to his home. But it's an operation totally separate from the Telshe Rabbinical College.
The moral of that story, and those of R Yitzchak Sorotzkin who ran to Lakewood, and R Yankel Velvel Katz who started a Kollel in Cleveland, is that those who leave Telz are happier and more successful in their Avodas Hakodesh.
I remember Telz Cleveland very well, right before R'Gifter started to decline health wise. The yeshiva was packed, with of course litvishe and even chassidishe bochurim. This was around '92 and the chevra could still smoke in the back (at night anyways). Friday night cholent and kumtziz, and late night, every night hasmoda. The bochurim then were from the finest in any yeshiva.
I remember the sheidim infested woods on the way to yeshiva lane and the farkakde cafeteria mit gor geshmake hot dogs.
Datz zich mir, rabbi shapiro (maybe hershfield?) was of a lubavitcher background - if i recall correctly he used to daven nusach ari.
I also remember getting semi-beat up by a russian lubavitcher bochur who was learning there at the time for immigration purposes, when i tried showing off my lubavitcher allegiance by singing didan notzach. oh well.
they say Rabbi Sorotzkin (binyomin?) in e"y (telz-stone) is the grester kop in the family (he is also a michber seforim).
Why do you allow such loshon horoh and zilzul and gedoley olam? (I am referring to the last two weeks bichlal; I have been on 'vacation') It sickins my snaggy stomach. Viphel iz dei shiur? To bahredt the same person or krayzen again and again! You gain so little from it, that the chet is so big - it is not a real nisoyen, it's just hergel. It behooves me that a ben-aliyah and a chosid who works on himself, can allow this madness and not find a different outlet; there gotta be another one.
