October 29, 2010 4:37 pm

one problem that i had wen i was stil in the system was that the only ones that hav any idea wats rong with a skewl is the bochrim and noone ever listened to wat we say. every time they say ”bochrim will complain werever they are”.

another prob is wen the person in charge of accepting teachers and boys is not living in the same realm as teens are now:(
p.s. wen u hav a mashgiach who has major mood swings(i had that in 2 of the yeshivas i was in) u are asking for big trouble

#78 cant expect the new rov to take on schools over issues that arent very clear in the first place

oh please!
October 27, 2010 9:55 pm

no one is kicked out cuz they cant learn- ONLY WHEN THEY BEGIN PERVERTING OTHER STUDENTS AND DAMAGING THEM is the hanhala forced to so- and we are thankful for that!! also- the schools here are for LUBAVITCHERS, chabad is a way of life- not a genetic inheritance someone who lives in crown heights, or was born to a lubavitch family but has no regard for tznius or the lubavitch lifestyle should not be accepted- u are not lubavitch if you dont act it just because your parents were or you live here-

to #77 you got a tall order...
October 27, 2010 7:13 pm

if the vaad and the rabbonim were on top of chinuch that would ease #61’s concerns

but can Rav Braun stand up to the hanhola of yeshivas?

Answer to # 14
October 27, 2010 7:06 pm

According to the Alter Rebbe’s Hilchos Talmud Torah, the responsibility of Chinuch is on the entire community. This means that it’s the Halachic Obligation of the Vaad Hakohol of C.H. to take make sure that no student is thrown out of school for any reason, regardless if the reasoning is lack of financial ability by the parents to be able to pay or if the problem is that the child is “not so bright” or has learning difficulty or learning disabilities, or even if he or she is lacking in Yiras Shomayim or in other appropriate behavior. This is Halacha!… Read more »

it seems you yourself would rely on spell-check 😉

#61 has a point
October 27, 2010 5:06 pm

#61 is right!

when will there be a central leadership looking over the hanhola’s shoulder?

or else they are excused from being responsible to anyone

but #64 took it way out to left field,
a website?
are you asking for trouble?

maybe #64’s idea of responsibility is 75 anonymous comments and complaints.

You cannot compare sending a bochur on shlichus to accepting a bochur to a yeshiva. Of course the rebbe picked the elite to be shluchim, because it was their duty to have hashpoo on other bochurim, just like we cannot accept any unemployed yong man to become a melamed.
And please do not compare the Frierdiker Rebbe’s handeling the Yeshiva to the Rebbe’s view on the matter 50 years later. Compare apples to apples.

October 26, 2010 11:33 pm

First of all most of the people who run our yeshivas are clueless about chinuch. Also, with the amount of time the boys spend in school they should all be Talmidei Chachamim and they are far from it. Our schools are not being realistic about what our kids are doing and have to face up to it. Wearing chassidishe livush is only an outer garment and sometimes only hides what is really going on inside… Also I was told by a professional that signs of going off the path of Yiddishkeit begin as early as 4th grade so elementary schools… Read more »

You are not going to be able to convince anyone that these are the only reasons. In fact, you are portraying yourself in a poor light, R”L, by your claims here. If that were truly all there were to the story, i.e., that your attitude was truly one of consistent innocent ehrlichkeit, and that these 2 “events” were truly one-time happenings, and that you did not know better, then why are you still eating your heart out over what happened?

1. Most Buchrim know what’s going on in their yeshiva and what the hanhala is doing wrong the point is that someone who wants to go to the Yeshiva should know where he’s going too 2. The point of the website is that Buchrim should shear how they fill about the Yeshiva and that other Buchrim should know if the Yeshiva fits their needs 3.

There should be a website that publises the good thing yeshiva’s do and the bad

if yeshivas only accept the best bochurim, why don’t we see yeshivas packed with excellent bochurim? Because they don’t exist! Yeshivas try to be picky so they end up with mediocre bochurim instead of terrible ones.
And to all parents out there: maybe your son isn’t such a tzaddik’l?

At the very least...
October 26, 2010 6:07 pm

this rabbi is questioning the yeshiva hanhola, something that no rabbi here would do publicly.

its scandalous that in lubavitch the hanhola have no public figures looking at what they’re doing, and addressing the public about it

#20, this is for you.
October 26, 2010 3:50 pm

The educational system has problems that are beyond what I think Rabbi Krausz is talking about. His remarks are not meant to address the problem of there being not enough good programs for TRULY behavior-disorder, ADD, ADHD, emotionally disturbed, PDD, dyslexia, and other special educational issues. (I’m not talking about mis-labeled kids here, of which there are some, R”L.) #20 claims that Cheder Ohr Menachem is guilty of “kicking out more kids than the other three”. I’d like to know where he got his statistics; is he a professional statistician who did a survey of the expulsion patterns of all… Read more »

Cheder is one thing; Mesivta/Zal is quite another
October 26, 2010 3:46 pm

B”H

No CHEDER ever threw out a child because (as Rabbi Krausz gives as an example):
“because they don’t know a p’shat or a deep Rashba”

In this case, Rabbi Krausz appears to be talking more about higher levels of education than the cheder level.

It sounds like he’s talking more about mesivta-and-up programs that toss out boys for parents not paying, and for being mediocre learners. This is truly an outrage, of course!

Oholey Torah Lubavitcher Yeshiva and probably the rest of yeshivas in CH are wonderfull. I happen to have Children in OT and LY in Crown street. I think Poster #51 hit the nail on the head. Whats more you have 2,3,4 classes to a grade and I am sure today if a child and a melamed don’t click or you feel clearly that your son will do better in another class your request will be taken seriously.

A parent - swallowed my pride and my son is happier than ever.
October 26, 2010 12:41 pm

Yes I got off my high horse and became realistic…We sent our son to a school that doesn’t cater to top bochurim, but our son is happier and is learning more than he ever did in mesivta- the staff and shluchim care about him and his progress. and BTW the students are good chassidishe boys…so he has good freinds….We made the best choice….Rabbi Schmukler Thanks for opening JETS

Amazing how people just make things up!
October 26, 2010 11:24 am

Comment 1 and others who decded the Rebbe never allowed a bochur to be kicked out and that this is the only thing the Rebbe fought hanahal for…and other such boich svaros.. open igros and look at the clear letter where the Rebbe wriotes that in halacha we go after rov(majority) and if theis bochur will negatively affect the others around, you MUST kick him out. Yers its painful for a parent. Yes its easy to blame yeshivas and the wicked hanhala But that doesnt change the fact, it takes only one bad bochur with a litle chutzpah or charisma… Read more »

When a boy is “asked to leave” he often becomes an untouchable, no other decent Yeshiva wants him. Today there are, BH, some alternative Yeshivas. Years ago there were none, so a boy was thrown into the streets. One Rosh who tossed my son, gleefully extended Shabbos invites when he was off the derech. Another Mashpia who gave my son trouble, now runs after my husband to give my son regards. Another Rosh has asked my son mechela. Why couldn’t they have seen what a great bocher my son was while they had a chance to work with him and… Read more »

thats when trouble starts

Lets look at ourselfs a bit
October 26, 2010 9:06 am

This Rabbi is 100% correct.
But we parents are not of the hook
if every parent would do the homework every day with their child give him a chayos in learning it would do wonders and your child would grow up a metzuyon.
There is a famous Yom Yom Just like there is a mitzvah to put on tefilin likewise there is a mitzvah to think about your child every night for a 1/2 hour.

Number 13 - keren Menachem
October 26, 2010 8:51 am

Yes! Keren Menachem is a tremendous cause. I myself benefitted from it during my Yeshiva years. It has really enabled many boys to be in yeshiva (and girls in sem – Keren Chana).
It is a very worthy cause and I urge all to donate.
A big Yasher Koach Keren Menachem!

October 26, 2010 8:15 am

if a bochur is not such a big masmid so its hard for him to comw on time 5 times a day so o.y. set up this college system with points then the bochur missws his point s so he does not go on so called slichus where should he go? this period alot of bochrim get discusted and look for other places hashem yerachem. shalicus became a very negitive idea .atleast o.t. does not have any more rabbi p. which has a major place in churbon of bochrim.

Get it right.
October 26, 2010 5:41 am

Not every bochur is suitable for every Yeshivah. However DO NOT throw him out and reject him. REPLACE him. Tell him that it is his interest that you think that he should move to another Yeshivah. Find him the Yeshivah and don’t stop until you have had him accepted in the right Yeshivah. Then he will not feel that he has been rejected.

What you said is utterly ridiculous, the yeshivot don’t reach the smartest kids anyways, so they may as well catch all of the others. The smart kids do one of two things: a) go off the derech, or b) decide to learn on their own because their teachers/yeshivot aren’t teaching them anything. We know – we were two of the smart kids, who chose option b. Special yeshivot should be made for gifted kids, or special programs. But what we have today is mediocre, so rejecting someone who doesn’t have protektzia or meet the “standards” of the yeshiva is just… Read more »

Wrong. The yeshiva system is not one of academic advancement. The goal of the cheder/yeshiva system these days is to keep the kids safe and help them to come out as frum, G-d fearing Jews. Therefore, any school should be able to cater to and accommodate all types of kids. Any which way that you categorize your school, be it an academic school, a vocational school or in between institution, any type of kid should be able to blend into your school if the goal is to keep the kids in a safe environment. With this goal in mind, grades,… Read more »

I said there is a range of yeshivas which cater to a range of bochurim. That range isn’t purely based on chasidishkeit, rather it includes an academic range too! A chasidishe bochur who isn’t very academic should be in Brunoy, where he would thrive without unrealistic academic pressure he can’t handle. At the same time, an academic who can’t handle as chasidishly rigorous lifestyle should be in LA. My over generalizations aren’t intended to offend, the point is there is a yeshiva for every personality represented and parents should choose carefully the right yeshiva for their children based on their… Read more »

Want standards? Pay for it with your own money
October 25, 2010 9:56 pm

Every student deserves to be in Yeshiva if he wants to. The community has an obligation to support ONLY those Yeshivot, or groups of Yeshivot, which accept everyone. Those who want exclusive high standards are welcome to pay for these standards with their own money. In the secular world, a student who wants to learn at Harvard or MIT pays for it. The donors who give money to Yeshivot have to make it very clear that they want everyone to have a Yeshiva education, not just the Metzuyanim. Those who give the money make the rules, not those who receive… Read more »

Are you saying that a Chassidishe, responsible bochur who isn’t as academic shouldn’t be in a top Yeshiva? Where would you dump him? Public school? A Yeshiva for boys who are severely LD or who have behavioral issues?

A bochur’s needs aren’t just academic. They are social as well.

I am glad my sons (all finished with Yeshiva, B”H) didn’t have YOU as a Rebbe. You are incredibly narrow-minded & out of touch.

October 25, 2010 8:25 pm

I have to respectfully disagree with your comment that negatively targets the so called “elite yeshivas.” I personally transferred to such a yeshiva when I was a student some years ago. Were it not for the higher “elite” standards of learning at Chicago, I think that people such as myself would be undeserved by the lubavitch yeshiva system. Thanks to Chicago, I was able to realize my own potential in learning. For a different student, Pittsburgh, Ohlei Torah, or Toronto may provide the environment that challenges them to succeed.

October 25, 2010 8:06 pm

Yeshivos today are babysitting programs, in the old days yeshiva was just for learning, if you weren’t able to learn you went to work. In todays day that’s not an option, today yeshiva gives less learning but it’s also the place where you get your yiras shomaim etc. Even if a bocher is a gimmel gimmel his place is yeshiva.

Based on what I heared from Rabbi K. From brunoy.

I’m writing today as a shaliach in a Lubavitcher yeshiva. In Lubavitch we seem to have a tremendous range of yeshivas which cater to a tremendous range of bochurim. This range is healthy, what is unhealthy is parents who force their children to be in yeshivas which are not geared for them, creating pain for the child, putting him in a very depressing state. Accurately gauge your sons needs, and find the yeshiva most suitable for him.

The Rebbeim on Chabad and Standards
October 25, 2010 6:45 pm

One of the biggest problems facing Chabad today is that many Lubavitchers think that because Chabad is open, caring, and does not judge people, therefore we cannot have any standards, and we have to accept everything and everyone. What lunacy! Where does this mindset come from? We DO have standards! Of course we do! Remember the story of the Frediker Rebbe throwing a bochur out of Tomchei Tmimim simply because his yarmulka fell off while sleeping? He was a good bochur, but his yarmulka falling off was an indication of his yiras shamayim not being 1000%, and he was dismissed.… Read more »

Wrong
October 25, 2010 6:30 pm

Yeshivos are academic institutions, not glorified babysitting centers for young adults. The hanholo of each Yeshiva are the people which have dedicated their entire lives to building that Yeshiva, and have a right to set whatever standard they so wish, the same way universities are allowed to set their own entry criteria.

Don’t like it? Go ahead and open your own yeshiva, no one is stopping you.

Mesivta
October 25, 2010 5:57 pm

A Mesivta here in Crown Heights has been kicking out kids left and right for the past 15 years.

Anyone care to remind me what level of metzuyan the Alter Rebbe required for addmission? There is a place for metzuyanim and a place for average or below average standards. To say that a Yeshiva is “one size fits all” is to disconnect from reality. Didn’t the wisest of all men say, “Chanoch l’na’ar al pi darcko” – each child has his individual needs and chinuch methods. A yeshiva cannot cater to ALL students, since a yeshiva that so called caters to all students, in truth, caters to none of the students. So yes there is a place for Chachmei… Read more »

As soon as any issues arise, they don’t want to deal with you anymore….chas v’sholom some effort should be put into the boys (are you listening Chicago? New Haven?)!!

Wrong!

While there must be Yeshivos for everybody, there must also be for those who are a bit more intelligent, so that they can learn at their level and not get bored because of the other students.
There must be Yeshivos that accept everybody and people must give them money as well but if you neglect our smart students and put them together with slower ones THEY will drop out, and there will be no one left to lead future generation Yeshivos.

Brilliant!

It’s about time someone speaks about this. We can’t continue with the system as it is. It’s obvious that it’s not working with today’s children.

2 cents

I think he is refering to boys who are not so smart.
But with regards to boys whom are a bad influence.
If i remember correctly there is an answer from the rebbe to only kick out a bochur if keeping him will be a bad effect upon the other bochurim.

bravo
