I think that this post is extremely important. BMG is a very large yeshiva…and frankly, some talmidim get lost. Rav Kanarek zt”l was right on the mark. Learning torah alone without the “mesorah” from a Rebbe is not a proper “Derech Hachaim”. There are too many cases where bnei torah when they encounter difficulties in life don’t feel that they have a need to consult with a Godol…because they never had a kesher with anyone. What ever happened to the idea that a talmud should attend the yeshiva where is is able to accomplish the most. When I learned in Mir (NY)35-40 years ago, everyone remained. No one thought of going anyone else. Fortunately, my roshe yeshiva, Rav Shmuel Berenbaum zt”l, was also my son’s Rebbe. Why is there an artificial (not sanctioned by gedolim)idea that an advanced talmid must leave the yeshiva where he has been successful (and has a kesher with his Rebbe)and attend the ONLY large yeshiva with 3000 talmidim? Isn’t the only point of learning to accomplish and gain hadracha?
