GATESHEAD YESHIVA

IN THE JEWISH TRIBUNE 21 JULY 2011

THE GATESHEAD YESHIVA WAS STARTED BY A SMALL GROUP OF IDEALISTIC JEWS.

BUT THIS DID NOT STAY LIKE THAT.

AS SOON AS RAV MATTISYOHU SALOMON LEFT AND THE DISTINCT IMPRINT,

OF RABBI MATTISYOHU SALOMON.
GENERATION OF GATESHEAD GRADUATES WENT, HIS NAME SYNONYMOUSLY WITH THE YESHIVA
AND THE HUNDREDS OF BNEI TORAH WHO CAME UNDER HIS INFLUENCE,INCULDING MY SON.

THE UNIQUE FACTS OF GATESHEAD YESHIVA IS IT'S ACCEPTANCE POLICY OF ANY SERIOUS TALMID

REGARDLESS OF HIS BACKGROUND.
HERE IN ONE SINGLE BEIS HAMEDRASH ONE CAN FIND YIDDISH-SPEAKING CHASSIDIM,
FRENCH SPEAKING SEPHARDIM.
AS WELL AS THE MAJORITY ENGLISH BOCHURIM .

THIS ALL CHANGED WHEN THE CHASSIDIM HATING MONEY LOVING RAV YOSEF ARON OPPENHEIMER

RID THE YESHIVA OF ALL THE CHASDISHER BOCHERIM UNLESS YOU HAD MONEY
BUT THE CHASIDISHER YESHIVAS ARE THE SAME.

YOU HAVE NO PLACE UNLESS YOU HAVE MONEY.

SADLY IT IS THE SAME IN GIRLS SCHOOLS AND CHADORIM.
PLEASE DON'T BOTHER ME ANY MORE WITH DROP-OUTS.

Gateshead

I WAS IN GATESHEAD BOARDING SCHOOL IN 1955-1956.
IT WAS A TERRIBLE PLACE.
THEY DID NOT KNOW HOW TO GIVE LOVE ONLY DISCIPLINE.
THAT'S ALL THAT MATTERED.

RABBI BAMBURGER AND THE STAFF SHOULD NEVER HAVE BEEN IN EDUCATION.
WHEN YOU LOOK HOW THEY BEHAVED TO US,
I CAN UNDERSTAND THE CRUELTY OF THE NAZIS.

MY SON LEARNED WITH REB AVROHOM GURWICZ .ASK TOTTEY LEBRECHT.
AT THAT TIME WHAT WAS RESPECTED IN GATESHEAD YESHIVA WAS HOW YOU LEARNED. NOT IF YOU WERE CHASSIDH OR A LITVISHER .
TO-DAY IT IS ALL POLITICS OR MONEY, THE SAME CORRUPTION AS BY THE CHASSIDISHE YESHIVOT.

ALL A BIG SHOW.
MAKE THE MOST OF REB AVROHOM GURWICZ.
AS WHEN HE GOES YOU WILL HAVE NOTHING TO REPLACE HIM.
