The rabbanim have no clue what they are assuring.
ReplyDeleteAb has no clue what the rabbanim know.
DeleteYou are more than welcome to an intelligent discussion. Just throwing out your sort of attack suggests an unwillingness to do so. Likely because you're fearful of it.
I am no Skverer but it's not okay to react like that. It is akin to saying הני רבנן which makes someone into an apikores רח"ל
DeleteThey are actually 100% right. ChatGPT and the likes have all 3 chamuros. In due time there will be kosher options.
DeleteThey wrote that as a service it's equivalent to using unfiltered internet in regards to the information one is able to access through it. Pretty straightforward and no need for heckling.
DeleteUsing the internet is and has always been assur without safeguards. AI is beyond the jnternet and has many more uses and ramifications. It's still its infancy, and no different than the early rabbanim that assered electricity or the telephone. They have no understanding of what AI is. They assume it's just another search engine which it isn't.
DeleteAbit stupid it's like saying C÷÷ or TCPIP is trayf chazer. AI is a technical format of gathering data and executing it according to the instructions. How about saying writing in yiddish is full of the gimel aveiros because the yiidishisten used the yiddish language to promote these aveiros!
DeleteIn yiddish I would call it platchik.
It is a terrible chill hashem of the silly hot headed severe askunim who publish a letter like this with zero תוכן! You are mevazeh your own rabbanim!
420 BOHURIM!
ReplyDeleteThose with money gelt and protekzia got in, other choshuv bnei Aliya from poor bneibtorah did not get accepted.
DeleteWhat is the point to get on and not get into shiur at all just for the shidduch resume. The olam has already moved on from this
You can get top boys from Pragers yagdil reb Dovid Mir and other fine yeshivos
No one waits anymore to get into shiur the sons are taking over and there is a choice if a few daily shiurum it is still a top place that produces future marbirzei torah despite all the faults
DeleteIT does not produce anything. Perhaps many of the future marbitzei torah learn there but, learning there is definitely not what makes them future marbitzei torah, as most people who learned there will readily testify.
DeleteThe whole need to learn there is an oversized hot air balloon. Unfortunately (that is not to say that hundreds of very fine boys and others do learn there)
Who is funding this new shidduch “crises letter” campaign to the scoop? Do they really believe that by bullying Roshei Yeshivas to agree with their agenda they will solve the shidduch crises?
ReplyDeleteThe shidduch crisis warriors have been bullying the roshei yeshiva for the last 20 years. The poop lives off sensation and click bate. Don't fall for the propaganda
Delete"The shidduch crisis warriors" what a term?
DeleteWhat are you a heartless animal who doesnt care about the pain of literally thousands of your sisters and their families who feel totally forgotten and neglected?! I think you should check your yichus as members of klal yisroel are known to be rachmonim. Whoever tries to minimize this situation going on is a a complete רשע.
Whoa what makes you more of a Rachman than others who are also helping singles with shidduchim in other ways besides public ads attacking our yeshivos???
DeleteDo you think there's only one way and anyone who disagrees is a רשע that needs their yichus checked?
Calm down don't get so triggered because someone said warrior
I don't understand the whole shidduch crisis numbers.
DeleteOne thing is clear. The Shulchan Aruch paskins that you must get married at 18. Anyone who goes against the Shulchan Aruch is not an Orthodox Jew.
When will they learn that bans only make the banned item more sought after and attractive.
ReplyDeleteFor some, like you. For many others, this is an important PSA. I'm thankful to them for taking their responsibility seriously and providing this PSA.
DeleteThey did their part. Now do yours and move on with your life.

ReplyDeleteThis rabbi is not enough of a talmid chacham to have an opinion on what, how and where, bnei kollel should be learning. And he certainly has no right publicly "calling" on the gedole roshie yeshiva to tell them what they should be telling their talmidim. All he actually accomplished with this nice drasha, is to belittle bnei torah in the eyes of the baal habatim listening to this shiur, and for that he should be ashamed.
Deleteפעם אחת הייתי מהלך בדרך ופגע בי אדם אחד ואמר לי שלום, החזרתי לו שלום. אמר לי, רבי מאיזו עיר אתה? אמרתי לו מעיר גדולה של חכמים וסופרים אנוכי. אמר לי רבי רצונך שתדור עמנו במקומנו, ואני אתן לך אלף אלפים כסף וזהב אבנים טובות ומרגליות? אמרתי לו, אם אתה נותן לי כל כסף וזהב אבנים טובות ומרגליות שבעולם, איני דר אלא במקום תורה! שכך כתוב בספר התהילים "טוב לי תורת פיך מאלפי זהב וכסף"
DeleteWhat has Rabbi Twersky done to help make younheleit in the first place.
DeleteDid he open kollelim did he facilitate torah learning?
Did he raise money to support lakewood youngeleit?
It's easy to give a shiur to men and women about what he feels kolel youngeleit should be doing.
In his own shitah did he not see the thousands of BMG/Torah vodaas/Mir/Brisk/Telz/Torah Temima/Philly/Long Beach/ Passaic alumni teaching torah across the world?
Is that not good enough for him?
Let him say it straight up he wants the Lakewood yeshiva and all kollelim to shut down.
Let him say straight up he has no appreciation for what's taking place in BMG. It's the rosh yeshivas position to say when someone's shtaiging should transition fromללמוד to ללמד. A shul Rabbi has as much place in that discussion, as a billboard has the place to preach eliminating a grade of mesivta.
DeleteHe sounds like he's addressing Lakewood, why doesn't he address Bobov where he comes from?
DeleteLet's understand this:
DeleteA nice guy from Milwaukee is addressing Roshei Yeshiva. How? Through a private letter?
Through a phone call?
Through a personal visit?
No, no and no. Instead, Through a "ruffling of the feathers 'shiur'".
Got it. קשוט לעצמך...
The Sin'as Hatorah of that speaker beggars belief. He can get a job writing in the Forward.
DeleteWhy doesn't he ask chabad to open a kollel there? Because the chabad system of going out to teach at the expense of one's own Torah growth, has failed. But yet he wants BMG to do the same.
DeleteThe speaker is complaining that we have large centers of Torah and people shteiging themselves, without thinking about the rest of the world. He is claiming that yungeleit should be sent to towns all across America to build communities and Kollelim that will uplift every single one of those towns. He claims that Torah that is not shared is not Torah.
Delete1. If he would be talking about teaching Torah to others, encouraging it and explaining its benefits, that would be one thing. As soon as he says that Torah without spreading to others (read: Kiruv) is worthless, he has passed over the line. Calling Torah worthless is hatred.
2. The idea that kiruv is the only way to spread Torah is another mistake. A Yeshiva man who learns with someone in his Shul, who acts as an example of someone who lives an elevated life in Lakewood, Monsey, Boro Park and Williamsburg. He doesn't have to move to Orem, Utah for that.
3. Zilzul in Torah Lishmah is literally the topic of the Nefesh Hachaim. Chalila to be mezalzel in it.
4. This complaint is not a new one. In Reb Aaron's days, well-meaning, and otherwise, BaaleiBatim would complain about this to him. But he knew that without a strong core, there is no real Harbotzas Torah.
5. The Chazon Ish would say, "The Chafetz Chaim could have begun his public work in his youth. But he he stayed in the Beis Hamedrash till his old age. Then he could change the world in a short amount of time." A Yungerman who goes out to 'change the world' at a tender age will never accomplish too much. If he has spent time learning and teaching himself that the only thing that is important is a Tosfos, it will be easier for him to teach that lesson to others when he is older. Sending people out at a young age is a false economy, like buying half a tank of gas.
Poor. All those mentioned HAD ta'anos on others for NOT being more active in klal!

Where are the Shiurim on gemera b'iyun? Case closed.
So bachurim who are not from wealthy or meyuchas families are not ay to be our future marbitzai Torah?
ReplyDeleteThe wealthy people support the Yeshiva. Why is he not justified in taking in their children first? I don't get this sense of entitlement.
ReplyDeleteSorry, you're so wrong. I think that you should challenge the idea that he only, or primarily takes bochurim from wealthy backgrounds. I have not been in the haaq in recent years, but it certainly wasn't this way. He took many bochurim who didn't have money and rejected many from wealthy families.
DeleteHowever, a yeshiva is absolutely not a personal business. It's a responsibility to Hashem. It has to be treated that way.
הִזָּהֲרוּ בִּבְנֵי עֲנִיִּים שֶׁמֵּהֶם תֵּצֵא תּוֹרָה
The whole Brisk shtick is way over rated
ReplyDeletePeople that have nothing to do with yeshivos and kollelim are preaching their daios telling the roshei yeshiva how to run their business. This is going on since the beginning of time it just shows itself and hides in different ways with excuses of ahidduch crisis or kollel guys have to go out and teach bla bla..
ReplyDeleteAccept the truth. Period. I could probably say, that not one hocker that left a comment her has a sister an older single. Because even he would want to argue with the writer. His heart would not let him
ReplyDeleteSorry but you don't get to control the narrative. Your way of dealing with the shidduch crisis does not mean it is the only way and anyone else who does not agree is heartless.
DeleteThere are others who cry and daven and are active redding shidduchim and don't necessarily agree with the shidduch crisis campaign and bully tactics. Accept the truth there's differences of opinion not everyone is jumping on your bandwagon
What happened to nix the pix campaign? Mothers are choosing girls based on pictures that they like. Theyre airbrushed and photoshopped. When the boy picks her up hes confused how this is the same girl as in the pic. We are not allowing the boys to choose what they find attractive!!
ReplyDeleteIn Brisk they prefer 36 26 36
ReplyDeleteWhat other thing was done to stop the shiduch crisis???. There is no other work done, not public and not in private
ReplyDeleteNobody has any solutions. What they do know is the age gap is not the issue, and trying to change the so-called age gap is not a solution.
DeleteSeeking a heter for the cherem derabeinu Gershom instead of attacking the yeshivos
DeleteA heter for the cherem would expose the uncomfortable truth, that it's not the boys who are solely at fault....
