We are living in a different tekufah but even in today's generation youngeleit are being מוסר נפש there are ניסיונות of entrepreneurisiklm and yet the youngeleit say NO לברית הבט ואל תפן ליצר I want to learn נשים נזיקין.these are the millionaires and billionaires of the אדירי התורה ז(Crowd applauds)

How appropriate that we came to be מחזק ourselves to honor the bnei Torah who barely resisting everything to learn.

He conclude with a message to the families of the bnei Torah to recognize אשריך בעולם הזה וטוב לך בעולם הבא

And to the מחזיקי התורה the zevuluns who are giving away from million and exorbitant amounts from themselves I'm order to have a connection with the yissochor the bnei Torah.

When Rav Aaron Kotler needed help there was a small group of balei batim who stepped up to help. Today we don't have a Yissochor like Rav Aaron ztl but Rav Shneur ztl said that a צבור of bnei Torah are like a gadol hador.. That is what you find in Lakewood yeshiva today is it a wonder that the Zevuluns want to connect with  them?
