as an SY from the community i must say rebdoniel is completely off. yes in the past we needed to import rabbonim but now? in the past five to ten years there has been a huge push in prioritizing learning there are numerous programs for full time learners and hundreds of baalebatim learning every morning from as early as five o’clock am before they run off to work and many young people finishing up kollel are now returning and taking positions in the community. the reason why we don’t have so many doctors and lawyers is because syrians didn’t need to go run after these professions in order to make money they went into businesses and were very successful without the need for years of college and please don’t “poster boy” our community with this rabbis four was kicked out a long time ago, ask any competent person their thoughts on “r” shammah, and rabbi abadie has no bearing on the community except for his seemingly lenient passover list
