DaMoshe -“I heard that the yeshiva there had some difficulties after R’ Altusky left to go to Darchei Torah in Far Rockaway. He was very popular, and some guys from the yeshiva followed him there. Afterwards, some people who would have gone to Montreal went to Darchei Torah instead.”
The Yeshiva was started by R’ Baron zt’l. It was taken over by R’ Glustein. They brought in R’ Weinberg zt’l from NY. He was an attraction for out-of-town Bochurim. His son-in-law took over after him. It was and still is R’ Glustein’s Yeshiva. I don’t think he is the type that is interested in having or at least interested in going out of his way to have out-of town Bochurim.
Btw, I knew/met all these people.
