WinnieThePooh – You think in the real world the head of the company makes any of these decisions? You think that the Rosh Yeshiva in a yeshiva where he is in charge decides on each bochur accepted and how much they pay?
He sets out his strategy and has others (a menahel, Moshgiach, etc.) fulfill his vision.
P.S. I doubt anyone there is “responsible for the spiritual growth of 6000 talmidim”. Perhaps Rav Salomon, but it is well known that there is a lack of Hadracha for Bochrim in BMG. And after 120, the Kotler Family will decide as a whole who will be the next titular Roshei Yeshiva. I can’t speak for who will be the power/head in the family at that time.
Unfortunately, despite all efforts to the contrary, many of the not so favorable features and values of the outside world have penetrated our ihr haTorah.
As an area that is “in town” what did you expect? The only question is now that your town is over run by materialism, what do you plan on doing about it? Maybe sell (property values are up) and move somewhere more to your liking?
Some in Lakewood, Jackson and Toms River would call it “just deserts”. 🙁
Can you prove this?
