You are not dreaming: Reb Yoel Kahn is assisting a crowd-funding campaign to raise funds for the central Chabad Lubavitch Yeshiva at 770 Eastern Parkway.
The legendary Chabad scholar, who has merited to transcribe the Rebbe’s teachings and raised generations of chassidim, appears in a video clip asking for the public’s financial support.
The all-or-nothing Charidy campaign is aimed to support the Central Yeshivas Tomchei Tmimim Lubavitch which operates out of 770 Eastern Parkway, also home to Lubavitch World Headquarters.
For a 24-hour period, beginning on Thursday, May 21, at noon Eastern Time, every dollar given will be matched by generous benefactors to reach the $300,000 fundraising goal.
“Yeshivas Tomchei Tmimim – you learned there, your children will learn there, and your grandchildren, too,” is the campaign’s slogan reminding alumni of the institution’s 75 years of education.
Matching donors are Israeli-Georgian billionaire Yitzchak Mirilashvili, Brooklyn real estate mogel and philanthropist Sholom Ber Drizin and the charitable Rabbi Yitzchak Michaan of Brazil.
In addition to Reb Yoel, other faculty members who were filmed for the promo video are the Rosh Yeshiva Rabbi Zalman Labkowski, Mashpiim Rabbi Shlomo Zarchi and Rabbi Yekusiel Feldman and administrator R’ Moshe Meir Gluckowsky.
Beginning at 12 Noon

YESHIVA TTL HA MERKOZIS!
Heres a 1 time chance to give the Rebbe SUCH NACHAS & you all the Brochos
Grab the zechus & the BROCHOS!!! ,dont let anything deter you!! THIS IS THR REBBES MOISAD! Your moisad!!
770 is the REBBES house period! are YOU doing something to improve the look of your Rebbe`s home?? if not then at least donate so that thousands of TMIMIM could continue to DAVVEN & LEARN there. And remember “IM HACHREISH TACHREESHEE BA`ES HAZOS REVACH VHATZOLOH YAAMOD MEMAKOM ACHER”..But will YOU have the zchus ??
I don’t think that is the approach the Rebbe would have taken.
There is no question that it can be done!!
As a graduate, the solicitation call I just received really upset me.
I declined and explained to the young Bochur that they are putting a band-aid on a broken system, both in structure as well as in personnel.
It’s a sad day that our so called flagship institution cannot even pay basic salaries. YU, Satmar, Harvard, etc. would never stoop to this level.
I say let it close and then it should reopen under new leadership with proper direction.

all the money goes straight to food for the bochrim.

The Rashag Z”L would say, “there are Rabbis who talk about Torah, Torah Torah and they mean Gelt Gelt Gelt. However, I talk about Gelt Gelt Gelt and I mean Torah Torah Torah!”

The word is chariTy not chariDy.
