At last night’s dinner of Yeshiva Darchei Torah at The Aviator in Brooklyn, NY, R’ Shlomo Yehuda Rechnitz, legendary baal tzedakah from Los Angeles, stepped up to the plate once again in his hachzokas Torah efforts.
The dinner paid tribute to HaRav Yaakov Bender, rosh hayeshiva of Yeshiva Darchei Torah of Far Rockaway and one of the chinuch legends of our time, in whose honor thousands turned out.
The dinner brought together admirers and supporters of Darchei Torah, who wished to generously contribute to the yeshiva so that Rav Bender and his staff can continue educating and inspiring youth as they have been for years.
A goal of raising $4 million was announced. During his remarks, Reb Shlomo Yehuda, who is renowned for his unparalleled philanthropy and generosity, declared that if supporters of the yeshiva will raise $3 million by this Wednesday evening, the night of his daughter’s wedding, he will contribute the last million dollars.
A gasp could be heard throughout the crowd, who then broke out in spontaneous applause in appreciation of Reb Shlomo Yehuda’s willingness to open his heart in support of this most outstanding Torah institution.
Now, the onus is on Yidden from New York and beyond to come together and raise the $3 million so that Reb Shlomo Yehuda will follow through on his pledge of $1 million.

I DO NOT SEE THE RIGHT SHLOMO YEHUDA HAS TO TELL OTHER PEOPLE HOW MUCH TO GIVE THIS IS NOT A JEWISH WAY
HE HAS TO THANK G-D THAT HE HAS MADE HIM RICH,SO HE CAN GIVE AS MUCH AS HE WANTS, BUT THAT DOES MAKE HIM AN AUTHORITY TO TELL OTHERS HOW MUCH TO GIVE.
BUT THE U.S.A. IS THE COUNTRY WERE EVERYTHING IS MONEY, THAT IS HOW THEY VOTE A PRESIDENT AND THAT IS THE ONLY THING THAT MATTERS, BUT IT IS NOT SO IN THE JEWISH WORLD.

I agree with you.
It is always important to see the good in what an individual is doing.
You say that money is not everything in the Jewish world. However, money IS everything in the charedi world unfortunately.
CHAIM FELDMAN
I AM TIRED OF YOU BEHAVING LIKE A FUCKING JEWISH SNOB EVERYTHING WE DO IS GOOD, WE ARE THE CHOSEN PEOPLE.
UNFORTUNATELY MONEY IS EVERYTHING IN THE WHOLE JEWISH WORLD, WE GO MAD FOR MONEY AND JEWISH PEOPLE NEVER GET FULL THEY HAVE A MILLION THEY WANT TWO.
THE GUINESS TRUST BUILT FLATS FOR POOR PEOPLE AT A VERY SMALL RENT, THE JEWISH PEOPLE BUILT FLATS THE AGUDA ETC,ETC, THE RENT IS AT ENORMOUS PRICE THE JEWISH VERY RICH DO NOTHING FOR THE JEWISH POOR
THE SAME IS IN SCHOOLS, AND WITH FOOD I KNOW LOTS OF JEWISH ( FRUM ) WHO DO NOT BUY KOSHER
THE RICH PEOPLES AIM IS NOT TO THANK HASHEM THAT THEY BECAME RICH,AND HELP THE POOR, BUT TO BECOME RICHER.
ALL THE JEWISH DO GOODERS WORRY ABOUT IS TO BURY THE DEAD QUICKLY.ETC,ETC,
Ha ha, the money and the power!
