דער אונגארישער כולל שומרי החומות פרעדיגט בראסלעווער פראפאגאנדע?!

The whole idea of a Chinese auction seems strange for an old-fashioned institution like KSH. But times change, and they need to get with the program. I get that. So they're doing their own auction. Fancy prizes and all. Not sure about computers. But the characters they choose for this catalog, and the theme, seem a bit strange for the Hungarian Kolel of the תלמידי מרן החת"ס. Almost as if they're trying to follow the led of other organizations who justify and means to make money, be it crying children or similar gruesome images. The following are several images that people who choose to enter their auction that they're helping these two yungeleit feed and clothe their families and thereby allow their souls to be nourished as well.

דער אפענער רעקל, מילא. די מאדערנע אמעריקאנער טלית קטן- אהן די גלעקאלאך וועט מען אויך פארזעהן. But the young man on the left is not what we usually see in KSH circles. That's more Shuvu Bonim, etc. They probably made him put his knapsack away.

But what have we here? A Chumash ע"פ לקוטי הלכות from Breslov! Who is this fellow? Is he a Breslover? a recent convert? if not, why does he get support from KSH?! Is the spiritual nourishment that they speak of? Should Hungarian Jews be supporting such nourishment?

And what's this hat-laid-back, top-button-open, nice-white-smile young man? Which Yerushalmi yungerman looks like this, other than א האלבער שב"בניק?

So now he can buy a bugaboo carriage and take the kid to the babysitter, on his way to Kolel. All from his Kolel check? Or from the Pesach חלוקה?

Oy! what a little marketing can do the age-old image of the Yerushalmi yungerman! ATMs, credit cards, bugaboos, and white teeth....
