Which are the Yeshivos that think this way?

In total agreement

Having ourselves been in the field of chinuch for many decades, we also realize that certain changes, such as those mentioned by Rabbi Feigelstock, are much needed and should be implemented. Rabbi Yeheskel and Pearl Lebovic

A real Chossid

Rabbi Feigelstock is a real Chossid and an Ish Emes. Few like him.
Remember learning by him in after noon on 5265 Park Ave in his office on the 2nd floor. Also remember learning by him in his house,, 4905 Clark St, It was great and heartwarming.

A pleasure to read this. One thing though- There are natural teachers who don’t need a lot of training- these are the exceptional teachers we want for our children. On the other hand, there are many who were pressured into a teaching job, out of wanting to stay in klei kodesh or because it was the thing everyone did, or because most other things require a degree- who are not naturally talented in teaching and dealing with kids, and even if they go through training, their classroom management and delivery of the material is severely lacking.

February 13, 2017 8:47 am

and notice how he he practises what he preaches, in his article, he doesnt finger oint or critisize, just makes observations and brings mashalim and examples from his past!!! and he is so humble, im in awe, he qoutes people, gives others credit,this is really amazing to me, beacuse as a 8th grader i was kicked out of the yeshiva system, and its still hard for me to face this comunity. but then i see ppl like this rabbi that are willing to admit they maybe were wrong and are trying to fix things, its amazing!! i loved that article,… Read more »

we have a true hidden treasure in our midst. i say hidden bec the young community here is a new generation who do not know Rabbi Feigelstock. A man of royalty!!

Wow!

As we were growing up in Montreal, RF was our beloved principal, always fair and proper. He also taught a small group of in in the afternoon. He made A 3D model of the 3 cases of the Aron on parshas Teruma, and encouraged and mentored my building of a whole model ,Mishkan, by his Talmid Yisroel Rubin in Albany

In 1967, i was a student in the Yeshiva. Being a New-Yorker, i want very much to return home for shavuos. disregarding strict orders of Rabbi Feigelstock, i packed my bags and headed for the Bus-station. My relief and thrill of escaping didn’t last long. while in the bus station, Rabbi Feigelstock finds me and insists that i return to yeshiva. he drove me back. here come my punch-line.
