Not enough facts to deserve comment.

Shocking!!
December 18, 2017 12:49 am

I was shocked to find out from a friend that people were bashing this yeshiva, and calling it a Tzfat training camp on this website. Whoever these people are, I can assure you that they have an agenda against their opinion, and don’t even care what goes on in that yeshiva. They just comment away from their comfortable living room couch. The reason why I am leaving a comment is because people don’t realize that this is an actual Yeshiva!! You can’t just go around parading that it should close down! No matter what your political opinion is! I’m a… Read more »

Learned in the collel in the yeshiva of tzfat

Amazing place where with amazing energy and staff
Very dedicated good people run the yeshiva with a deep connection to rebbe.
That’s it , iy”h there will be a yeshua very soon.
Loved every minute I learned there.

nothing to get excited about
December 17, 2017 1:35 pm

now they will come to 770 for mesivtah…

my son
December 17, 2017 12:50 am

my son from CH went there and loved it. He said they truly care about the bochurim and he’s frum and chasidish today thanks to ‘that’ Yeshiva.

As far as putting up a fight against police, not a good idea at all!!! I hope Hanhala will forbid any clashes and find a safe place for the boys to go learn

Two of my sons also learned there for 3 of their years of Yeshiva.Today they are both good husbands/fathers and earn a respectable living outside of the Yeshiva life.Obviously both have smicha, one is a lawyer and one is a dayan.People have no idea of the life there.PLease don’t tar every student with the same brush because a few bochurim misbehave.

This not the FULL STORY
December 15, 2017 12:50 pm

as the caption claims on bottom of this page.
When we know the details we can start debating it.

While you were commenting...
December 15, 2017 10:57 am

The bochurim who learn there and learned there in the past were busy on mivtzoim.
Keep hating losers.

To all the haters
December 14, 2017 7:51 pm

Any feeling for other jews? And fellow lubavitchers!!! Just btw I know too many people that went there that no other yeshiva worked for them and literally slowly falling off the path, and then they went to this yeshiva and they are still now very chassidish bochurim (and not fanatics either!) Lubavitch is still alive and pumping only because of these people, even though I dont agree in everything they do they definitely give a massive push and emphasis on ‘Rebbe’ which is needed by every person, even more now then ever before!

No, it's not the yeshiva that started the flag, and so what if it is?!
December 14, 2017 7:00 pm

They’re your brothers, our family. How dare you think of yourself as a separate entity from H’ and these too!! It is despicable to promote division amongst Jews! Achdut is what brings Moshiach. Together we can win. United we can succeed. Divided we fall. Sorry that such a thing as a Haman has to be the thing that causes unity. Why should you have to be scared to death before you observe the halachot of v’ahavta l’reacha k’mocha?

bochur in yeahiva
December 14, 2017 6:48 pm

I am a bochur who lives in ch and I now learn in tzfas, I can tell you from my personal experience that this yeshiva brings out the chossid in all the bochurim which includes going to mikve every day, waking up for chassidus ect. There are many great rabbi with different type of shiurim on all different levels… You can come see for yourself!!! (It’s just sad to see some people who think they know everything and start calling people thugs ect.) ~yechi hamelech

To # 1 and all the rest of haters:
December 14, 2017 6:47 pm

You have no right saying any of the such. I’m an American Bochur that lives on shlichus in Florida under merkoz.my family doesn’t wave flags, And as shocking as this sounds to you, I learned there for my 3 years of Zal. It’s not extreme or radical like you think it is. It’s a very good yeshiva, that has great Mashpiim, and produces many chassidishe bochurim. I can go on and on, but I won’t. You don’t deserve my time . If you consider yourself a chossid of the Rebbe, dont bash or disregard. Rather, do like me: daven, learn… Read more »

Famous story
December 14, 2017 6:46 pm

This building was falling off the cliff & the rebbe instructed chabad of tzfas to buy it. And it stopped falling …..

Terrible
December 14, 2017 6:31 pm

Excuse me but anyone who is satisfied or uncaring is cruel. Children are there from crown heights. Telling Kids to not obey is wrong and unsafe. Someone care about Lubavitch for a change even if we don’t agree. We are all family.

Meir
December 14, 2017 6:27 pm

BS”D You mean to say 1,2,4 &7 that the Bochurim do not learn Torah in the building all day but sleep late loaf around smoking cigarettes (sort of like pre Yechi in 749), etc. If that’s the case then maybe a bldg is not needed !!!???

We have to Care for All
December 14, 2017 6:11 pm

How can we not feel empathy for them, regardless of any difference of opinion.
Especially, when they are so devoted to cause over pleasure, klal yisroel over their individual self.

Torah learned in a stolen building is worthless
December 14, 2017 6:07 pm

It’s just like shaking a stolen lulav. If they choose to stay past the eviction deadline they should not claim that it’s the Rebbe’s yeshivah. The Rebbe is not ch”v a thief.

Dont be so sure. There is nothing fair or just about the Bagatz court.

In the light of Chanukah
December 14, 2017 5:41 pm

Ahavas Yisroel, please.

December 14, 2017 5:31 pm

That place should be condemned.
It’s worse than a church.

Send all the students to the army.
Let them run around the army base and help
Delay moshiach bro love maamesh.

Rabbi w should go with them of course.
Maybe he can force the army (with force of course)
To put a yellow flag on each tank.

Ma Rabbi
December 14, 2017 5:29 pm

Its a big problem in Israel with the leftist judges.

ירידה לצורך עליה
December 14, 2017 5:18 pm

surely very soon they will have a very beautiful yeshiva and dorm building. I would be very happy to sponsor a campus for one of the flagship schools in Lubavitch?

CAN WE FORGET ABOUT FORGET ABOUT THE POLITICS FOR A MINUTE?
December 14, 2017 4:48 pm

CAN WE FORGET ABOUT POLITICS FOR A MINUTE? (SEEMS TO ME THAT BOTH SIDES ARE SO FANATIC IN THEIR THINKING THAT THEIR FEELINGS JUST CANCEL EACH OTHER OUT.) THE QUESTION HERE IS: WHO OWNS/OWNED THIS BUILDING? IF IT WAS INCONTROVERTIBLY DONATED TO THE YESHIVAH AND THE YESHIVAH WAS NOT PARTY TO ANYTHING RESEMBLING SALE OF THIS BUILDING, THEN HOW IN HEAVEN’S NAME DID IT GET “SOLD”? ON THE OTHER HAND, IF IT ACTUALLY BELONGED TO A PRIVATE PARTY WHO CHOSE TO SELL IT, THEN THE SCHOOL WILL HAVE TO ACCEPT THAT IT NEEDS TO FIND OTHER QUARTERS. THAT’S THE LONG… Read more »

SUCH HATE!!!
December 14, 2017 4:45 pm

WOW!! SUCH HATE!!! I don’t believe these comments are coming from Lubavitchers or people who have the interest of Lubavitch in mind. just very sad to see how 500 bochurim might be evicted and people talk like this. not matter what you think about them!!!

Chanuka miracle. Hopefully we will see the end of the yellow pin terrorist training camp

Do they have a go fund me page?
December 14, 2017 4:39 pm

Or Charidy?
It seems like students interviewed? Where is the administration?

yellow flags
December 14, 2017 4:32 pm

who cares .. coz we have no thugs in other yeshivas !
live and let live .. BOTH SIDES!

if our brothers in Israel are gojng thru a difficulty now it’s time to sympathize and not bring politics into this!

Wow, Pure hate going on here.
December 14, 2017 4:31 pm

you can hate opinions, even actions but not people specially fellow chassidim. Honestly, I don’t agree with a lot of their opinions but I don’t see the hate by them like its displayed here.

6 feeling bad
December 14, 2017 4:19 pm

I feel bad that the yeshiva that the Rebbe established now has nothing to do with what the Rebbe stood for

I feel shocked at most of these comments.
December 14, 2017 4:16 pm

Agree with # 6, are these chassidim of the Rebbe or something new & different. I don’t know all the details but these responses lack positive, healthy concern.

to #6
December 14, 2017 4:04 pm

You ask why we don’t feel bad that a yeshiva of the Rebbe will be demolished? What about what the talmidim of that yeshiva did to the Rebbe’s own shul? That did not bother you? Shualim holchim bo and you’re not troubled?

He who is compassionate when he should be cruel will come to be cruel when he should be compassionate.

Chossid
December 14, 2017 3:53 pm

If there is proof of ownership I am sure the court would have sided with them.

#2, oh please no.

Unbelievable
December 14, 2017 3:32 pm

The building should be demolished. Some rooms have no windows, it’s a dump. But yes, these fanatics have the place covered in flags & the bochurim there wear pins on their jackets, hats , yarmulkes & probably other pieces of clothing as well. It’s also the breeding ground for the thugs who terrorize other students when they come here on kvutza. Perhaps a nice new building will give them a sense of pride & order. Perhaps.

Wow
December 14, 2017 3:03 pm

Instead of felling bad that a Yeshuva that the Rebbe established over 40 years ago! (in 5737) is facing such hardships….you start making fun of the Rebbe’s bigest Yeshiva i thought there was more Achdus within Chabad…

To #3
December 14, 2017 2:30 pm

Yes I agree, i can’t believe that for the past 20 years the Yeshivah has been renting the dorm building, it just doesn’t make sense, if the dorm belongs to the Yeshivah how could it have been sold, who ownes the building, yes there are more details that have been omitted, could someone please explain the missing details

Finally?
December 14, 2017 2:10 pm

I think think itג€™s twenty years too late. Though I fully agree with comment number one.

The rest of the story?
December 14, 2017 1:58 pm

It seems that there are some details missing. Who is the actual owner of the building and how did the ownership come into question?

749 will take them
December 14, 2017 1:49 pm

Send them there

ummm... is it just me?
December 14, 2017 1:45 pm

Or is this the yeshiva that generated the yellow flag movement? I hate to sound harsh but it’s very difficult to work up any compassion for their current plight.
