Deletere: Rav Schlesinger's letter:
ReplyDeleteAll yeshivot not connected to the principals of the American fundraising, i.e., the Slabodka RYs are not getting much if any funding.
There is absolutely NO transparency, no one know where the money is going and for what purposes and whom in whatever yeshivot are getting.
The exact amounts disbursed to each institution have been reported on many times, e.g. here: https://www.emess.co.il/radio/1727795. On the contrary, it looks to me like the problem kvetchy eitzniks and certain corrupt chassiduses have is that the fund is being run with *too* much integrity and isn't giving to double dippers and made up "yeshivas" where bochurim attend in name only.

ReplyDeleteA cursory review implies the numbers are based on size (Slabodka included), However it only totals ~30,000,000$/35,000,000$ a small portion of the ~ 80,000,000$ actually collected.
(The remaining pledges never came in after rumors of infighting among the Rosh Yeshivas over the split, lead to pledges falling through)
