welcome right behind me is the famous
world yeshiva
base meadows devoyah
lakewood bmg
bash gacha pratis i'm a lakewood this
morning and i thought i would take a few
minutes to take a little clip
of where this great yeshiva started
back in
1943-44 with
aaron
ravarin cutlass
who brought together students
i believe 12 to 13 students first they
were in white plains new york
he came to new york
was saved
through japan san francisco
in 1941
basic time he came to new york and then
he opened the yeshiva here in 4344.
probably one can say hundreds of
thousands of talbidim came out of this
fine institution which goes from there
the corner entire block so over there
their new building being over there
you see it over there the new building
based magic before the israel harry
barron hall
but
the amazing thing of
this yeshiva is
how
it brings together
the greatness of jewish scholarship of
europe
together with modern america in a way
that created literally in this city
over a hundred thousand orthodox from
jews torah jews benedito jews
recently in the last probably ten
fifteen twenty years or so there's been
an influx of hasidim
belgium kleisenberg
in the
outlying neighborhoods
jackson
toms river
lakewood
and i think it's important
to give credit where credit is due
myself truth be said as a student
i wouldn't go anywhere near
lakewood
the issues that
i wrote about
and it's been spoken about the
differences between the previous
yitzhak of lubavitch and byron cutler
led to
an uncomfortable
feeling
by both students of both yeshivas and
both movements
but now
70 plus years later
it's all over
it's finished
and
one needs to realize
the opportunity that god gave
to the world of tita
to be able to
put up an institution
which was just a fledgling institution
in 1943-44
44 when baron started this institution
and now has become
a bastion
of jewish scholarship and leadership
worldwide
is it a is is a feat that needs to be
recognized and is tremendous
anyone who denies that is a fool or a
liar
one more point
the purpose of any yeshiva
and any movement
torah movement
is to
plant tata
for the future
and
amongst the teachers
of bmg
were some that were very
mushy oriented
and it's interesting you know you you
would think that
the focus here was taylor taylor tater
you know meshiach okay
will come when he comes
but nevertheless in the basement while
the couplers robbie cutler and set up
schneider the next receiver
she was the couplers and the staff
was an individual leftover
not to help them for legal forget his
name now
who
emphasized
mashiach
so let's not forget that
when mashiach comes and is coming right
away this entire beautiful
building a structure an institution
takes up a block
and is a symbol of world learning of
theta
will go to irish lion
we need to yearn for this we need to
dive in for this we need to do mice and
to even behold him
and we need to reach out to another year
to learn another word of taylor to do
another mitzvah
that helped another year to abbasis
so i just wanted to share
a summer
day
the 13th of others today
2022. no one's around
yeshiva isn't paying us money as they
call vacation time if there is such a
thing as vacation
it reminds me of a story of nissan
mangal
the baba shirov and talmud
author of swarm
was sent by the rebbe here
hala might took his 1957 or 58
to go in and and
talk to to the bahamas or whatever and
basically the basement was empty
i think was a shot at abanki told me
this
and there were only two people in the
basement there shabarin and
they were learning with each other
a sight to be seen like all night
you know so
the point is that
it's important to recognize and give
credit where credit's due
and for every year to know
that
we need to help another yeat
in learning and diverting and everything
may i help you be serious
