DeleteWow Satmar got a good deal if Reb Lipa ZTL would have been alive it wouldn’t have sold for under 50M.
ReplyDeleteR Lipa would not have sold it, because to him it was priceless. It is buyers that set the price, not sellers.
DeleteSeems like a good deal either way. Back when the building was built the hock was that between the big apartment house YTT bought and knocked down for the lot and construction costs it cost them ten million dollars. Where can you get real estate today for only twice what it cost thirty years ago?
DeleteWow is the reporting around the killing in Miami so vague?
ReplyDeleteThis 20m sale is the sad state of private schools selling their buildings in new York , just think about poor parents paying building funds every month besides the reg tuition, people paying for classrooms so their kid gets accepted. And 30 years later it just gets sold. The money officially goes to other institutions.......
ReplyDeleteWhat type of debt did TT have? If they wouldn't have debt, would they have sold?
DeleteThe money is going to their own institutions in Staten Iskand
DeleteI don't think YTT ever charged for a building fund. (Rav Yaakov Kamenesty was
Deleteof the opinion that a school can not charge a building partly because of the issue of where will the money go when the building is sold)
Lnn complaining about stealing content....
ReplyDelete3 lefts can make a right; two Wrights made an airplane; but two wrongs cannot make the wrong right.
DeleteWhy can they sell it? The building belongs to Klal Yisroel, because the nadvanim gave it to be used for a Yeshiva. Give it to them for free!
ReplyDeleteכי טוב סחרה מכל סחורה
The nadvanim gave it to the Margolis family to use it for Mosdos Hatorah. The Margolis family still has several Mosdos in Staten Island and Lakewood. So there us nothing wrong with using it for those yeshivos.
DeleteSome hold like R Dovid Feinstein you're obligated to keep the money local

ReplyDeleteKennedy boulevard must be opened up from squankum road all the way to Brook road and further! It's a travesty.
ReplyDeleteWhat does a yeshive with 40- boys do with 20 million dollars?
ReplyDeletePay the $2,000,000 settlement from the lawsuit they have yet to pay.
DeleteThey should take the 20 million and open a fund that gives a down payment for any school opened by an alumni from tt. This would sound like a fair thing to do with klal money
ReplyDeletePants? What a bizoyan hatorah :(
ReplyDeleteGive a half million to each boy. Or if you mamash don’t know what to do with it give it to me.
