Reply To: To accept all children

I once heard from Rabbi Rabinowitz zl who was the controller of Yeshiva Torah Vodaas that yeshivos don’t close because there’s no money. They close because they don’t have students. That in turn causes a lack of funds. Nobody will donate to a dying yeshiva or a yeshiva known not to accept children because they don’t have money to pay tuition. Of course the yeshiva can’t normally have too many such non-payers. But yet this seems to be only in non-chasidish yeshivos. Almost all the chasidish yeshivos and bais yakovs accept every child from their sect, with or without funds. And make up the difference from the rich members of the chasidic sect.
