you kalt’e litvak what you are! Whats wrong with chasidishe havora??!! Dont you know by now that varemkait is with the chassidim? Looks like the yeshiva is realizing that too! But there are still some farbisen’e narrow-minded people like you who missed the boat!

The best pr ever done by a moisad, r aron is the king of pr. If others would learn then they wouldn’t be struggling so much.

attention #1 R” Abish Brodt (alumin BMG) always sings for the yeshiva especial on the first night of purim and he also has a chasidishe havora. Harav Dovid Shustals faimly comes from a chasideshe background.

is a disgrace you call yourself a BEN Toira. your worthless. and you casue shame on the tru bnei torah of BMG,

If you have any menshlichkit left in you you should ask Michela B”rabim for the sinas chinom youhave caused to the entire Lakewood . We dont need this in klal Yisroel. YOu shoudl be ashamed. Drech Eretz Kodma Latorah. We have enough tzoroz ? STOP IT NOW!!!!!

This Hachnosas sefer torah was a symbolic occasion. that yeshiva moved into that building is a dream come true!! WE MUST HAVE HAKOROS HATOV TO REB ELLY AND BROCHIE KLEINMAN FOR MAKING THIS POSSIBLE AND WHAT A ZCHUS HOTORAH FOR THEM

So what, it still makes it historic. Why is everything a put-down?!?!?!?

Maybe historic because it is the end of an era for the conservative movement in lakewood ihr hatorah. Imagine the yeshiva is now learning in a new beis medrash that just a short few months ago was occupied by jews of the conservative movement. May the torah being learned there have a hashpaa on the whold world and may all conservative yiddin see the true light so that we shall all be zocheh to be mekabel moshiach tzidkeinu bimheira.

The spelling needs improvement. In Kelm they taught english for a reason. It’s a bezyoines for a ben torah to write like that.

I’m really sorry to say- What happened to plain old hakaros hatov? it was a beautiful event and so much money and time went into it. If you didn’t enjoy, or have some negative comment, keep it to yourself

The Kleins have now joined the elite of the elite tomchei torah (i.e. Bunim, Klein, Glick, Beren, Schron, Safra, etc. Families) and should be feted as those who are tomech torah on this level should be.
Major kudos to Reb Aaron Shlita who has created the sense that partnering with BMG is success!!!

to all those with your anti chasidudh comments, keep it to yourself, Lakewood is an ir hatorah and just like to Yam Suf was split into 12 with that ability to see each side so to you should learn to be beachdus and see others in a favorable way inclduing chasidim.

i dont want to bust you bubble but even Harav Malkiel Kotler has chassidush relatives via Rav Dessler.

if you dont like chassdim, sefardim or anyone not like you, please leave town. Remeber why the talmidim of Rav Akiva were punished. We dont need further tzoros. Please change your ways or leave town.

what a waste of yiddish gelt . there are hundreds of mishpachos here in laKEWOOD who cant provide bread for thier kids, this affair could have been accomplished with outall that lavishness. i guess its easy to spend someone elses money.

It’s so simple why they were singing with a Chasidisha Havarah Mr. Klienman was wearing a Gartel.
