The music, the band ----- it's priceless! I just played that LP on my ancient record player. It's like from 1963. Maybe Rudy Teppel or somebody like that. The band they hire at CB has like 4 alto saxophones and a trombone, or whatever they call it. And the drummer that plays so light he's putting you to sleep. I guess they try and hold on to Stone Avenue and the Rosh Yeshiva zt"l.

Thousands of people packed Yeshivas Reb Chaim Berlin up till the rafters. The simcha was indescribable with a sublime feeling of kedusha felt by all participants. The clock disappeared, tiredness evaporated, alcohol dissipated and every ear was bent to the *******s mouth (Rebbe, Rosh Yeshiva, Mashgiach, take your pick) for every pearl of wisdom.
the place seem like its drying up..
no spirit
it had more spirit 20 years ago
Can you give us (those with a filter) a little hint about what's on this video?
Is chaim Berlin tragedy featured? He's missed around here
Is that the mesarev ledin himself?
WOW!
Yes. That's him and sidekick Abe Fruchtandler.
Stop with this Jew hate..
its only 1 side that we are hearing
Seriously Mark?!
If CB wasn't just too damn smart to write something so childish and cheesy I would think that you worked for their PR department.
Yes, the rafters were packed, but the largest group of packers were high school kids.
The simcha was pretty describable, it was mostly just a bunch of drunk kids (or kids pretending to be drunk) having fun.
I’m really not too sure how many people there felt that “sublime feeling of kedusha” that you mention. Maybe a handful of people there, Rabbeim and Anash included, had any idea what the RAS was talking about.
“Pearls of wisdom”? Maybe, not like you or anybody else there had a clue.
Maybe CBT can come back and remind of the grand old days when RYH would proveh the greatest mesibas purim’s ever… But he related to the crowd and said over brilliant torah. He would call for specific negunim related to the hergeishim of the specific ma’amorim that he just said over. He joked around and said over a fair amount of “purim torah”. He called out bachurim and rabbeim from the crowd and addressed them personally. We can’t say any of that for today’s mesiba; not that they are bad, they are better than anything any other Yeshiva has to offer, but not all that your make them out to be…
Much better clip in link below (but only for the first 3 minutes, after that RAS and most adults leave and its more or less just bachurim having fun)

Wow. Real Simchas Purim the way it was meant to be.
Methinks some commenters here are just jealous.
They just had levaya for his mother בד''א
Yes, they are jealous of the simcha, and achdus; especially the Lubabs who have nothing....
Who the hell...
I am the true Mark Richards and I hereby declare sarcasm dead.
"the grand old days when RYH would proveh the greatest mesibas purim’s ever"
ahhh....
although, one "ve'nakeeeh" during Selichos could poi'el more en a pnimiyos...and cynicism ;-)
one man's opinion
Reb Tzig, have you heard this?

Rabbi Moshe Weinberger, YU Mashpia blasts and ridicules the Kollel system, very strongly, using text from R. Mottel Zilber. He is great, what a great intro to Chassidus!
back in the day a post like this would've had 100 more comments and activity....
and since when did bekitches become mandatory purim garb in chaim berlin??
what can I say? back in the day lots of things were different around here... maybe we can have a revival?
Its not just Chaim Berlin the whole "Litvish" and "yeshivish" community in Brooklyn where houses cost a million dollars is coming to an end. everyone is moving to Lakewood, Monsey, Passaic, Far rockaway, and Woodmere where you can get big nice houses in suburban America for half the price instead of living in a poluted dirty and congested city
