He has a goal to reach 10,000 when he can register as an official University and get much more government $$$$ at the real yungaleit's expense. He originally said this openly and had a poster in his office with the chart and "the road to 10,000" written on it. After realizing that the public would not support this, he retracted and, bald faced liar that he is, now denies he ever did it.dovynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13084425.post-53264223398144685642010-02-24T11:17:06.499-05:002010-02-24T11:17:06.499-05:00"how many guys in Lakewood learn Shor Shenoga..."how many guys in Lakewood learn Shor Shenogach Hapora and never sat foot on a farm"<br /><br />How many Yeshiva guys anywhere learn about "mukas eitz ani - la, eila drusas ish at" without ever having...Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13084425.post-25421895011085908772010-02-24T08:41:55.518-05:002010-02-24T08:41:55.518-05:00How many youth are on drugs in other frum communit...How many youth are on drugs in other frum communities?

If you attack Lakewood your'e going to get savaged. The same is true when Chabad gets attacked on the web its defenders come out fast and fierce. Same can be said probably for any chassidus or Litvishe yeshiva. Go try attacking Belz or Ponovez for any reason and watch your traffic hit all time new highs. The commenters reactions are predictable and your defensive ADD comment demonstrates surprising naivete for an experienced blogger. Naivete in that you seem to have failed to anticipate the visceral reaction this post would engender. The only reason I can think of is that you view Lakewood as some kind of extraterrestrial experience which is fair game for potshots. Well there are humanoids living in Lakewood who have feelings too. It's a good lesson to remember.Perspectivenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13084425.post-55387664224636044042010-02-22T15:39:05.551-05:002010-02-22T15:39:05.551-05:00james dean,

Among other thing, Rav Arron never wanted a yeshiva of over 400 bacurim, RAK always maintained that the downfall of Slabodka was that it grew too large. But in truth the Lakewood yeshiva is much more of a Kollel than it was in Rav Arons time. In RAK’s time, the Shiur was the central learning of the Yeshiva, today it is ignored by 80% of the yeshiva learning the ‘Yeshiva Mesechta’, which in it self is merely 30% of the Yeshiva. In the times of RAK there was no such a thing as not learning the Yeshiva Mesechta. That was grudgingly allowed for ONE Seder by Rav Schneur, and that group was exiled to the Ezras Noshim. There were virtually no Yungelite in RAK’s days, now the bochurim are maybe 20% of Yeshiva. RAK was NOT a fan of siting in Yeshiva forever!! He did nudge older Talmidim (Five plus years in Kollel) to take jobs in Chinuch etc. <br /><br />(If you want to know why I have internet, I work on the side. Which is how I can afford to still be in Kollel)Twistelton-Twisteltonnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13084425.post-14423719705471575492010-02-21T17:11:45.992-05:002010-02-21T17:11:45.992-05:00This blog is an example of Lubavitch at it's &...This blog is an example of Lubavitch at it's "finest".<br />The blogger shows how much he "cares" for "thousand of miserable yungerlait that have not been touched by the light of chassidus like he has".A true example of "selfless Ahvas Yisroel"<br />Then he shows us the "Chochma" part of of Chaba"d, by managing to analyze Lakewood and understand everything about it without ever stepping foot in there.Actually maybe that is more the "Bina" part of Chaba"d because he is a "mayven dovor mitoich dovor,see how he is able to truly "understand" Lakewood just from seeing a graph in a newspaper, hearing a story about Rav Koppelman and putting all those things together.<br />Lastly, he "lovingly" berates all those readers who don't have the "Da'as" to understand his depth.pinnynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13084425.post-1936100429002413942010-02-21T16:23:17.001-05:002010-02-21T16:23:17.001-05:00The dumbest post yet!
