GAW: “You haven’t said anything new. The Golden Rule states he who has the Gold makes the Rules. Although some grandchildren/in-law ended up with the title rosh yeshiva, only one person runs the yeshiva. Hence the head of the Yeshiva is HaRav HaGaon Aaron Kotler Shilitah, whether he gives a shiur or not.”
This is quite cynical, and frankly I feel it is denigrating to the actual roshei yeshiva of Lakewood. Those “grandchildren/in-law who ended up with the title rosh yeshiva” got those titles years before R’ Aharon joined the administration to bail the yeshiva out of its financial crisis. And giving inappropriate accolades to the one who runs the business without even bothering to mention the Roshei Yeshiva by name is even more insulting to Kovod haTorah. For the record, and to rectify this insult, the Rosh Yeshiva of Lakewood are R’ Malkiel Kotler, son of the previous R”Y, Rav Shneur; and R’ Dovid Shustal, R’ Yerucham Olshin and R’ Yisroel Friedman, all married to granddaughters of R Aharon. I have purposely left off the fancy titles since they are bandied about too often these days and say nothing about whether a person is a talmid chochom/gadol.
