What type of place is it today? Is it still what it used to be??
It is the same top notch Yeshiva it has always been.
Very Yeshivish right ring. Very good people and very serious about their learning, hasmadah etc. I would consider it as the like most Yeshivish side of BMG Lakewood.
I asked my WhatsApp AI and this is what it told me (probably from Wikipedia)
Yeshiva Gedolah Zichron Moshe, also known as Yeshiva of South Fallsburg, is a private Orthodox rabbinical college located in South Fallsburg, New York. Established in 1944 by Rabbi Yerucham Gorelick, it’s considered one of the leading beit midrash programs in the United States, with a steady enrollment of around 200 students.
*Key Facts:*
– *Enrollment*: Approximately 200 students, all male
– *Focus*: Talmudic studies and Orthodox rabbinical education
– *Degrees*: Bachelor’s degree and first professional certification
– *Accreditation*: Association of Advanced Rabbinical and Talmudic Schools
– *Rosh Yeshiva*: Rabbi Elya Ber Wachtfogel*Community and Campus:*
The yeshiva has a strong presence in the community, with many families affiliated with the kollel or working in the schools or administrative offices. The campus includes facilities for both the yeshiva and the affiliated Bnos Devorah Raizel Elementary School for girls.
*Challenges and Support:*
In 2023, the Bnos Devorah Raizel school faced a significant setback when a fire destroyed its new building. However, the community rallied together, and a donor pledged to match donations up to $250,000 to support the rebuilding efforts ¹ ².
Hope that helps
Fun fact: Both my brother and I attended Zichron Moshe when it was still located at 1350 Morris Avenue in the Bronx. My brother went there up until the middle of second grade and I was there for 6 months of kindergarten. We left the yeshiva in December of 1969 because the neighborhood had gotten really bad and we were moving to Kew Gardens Hills. The yeshiva itself closed and moved in 1973.
Wasn’t Rabbi Yerucham Gorelick a Rebbi in REITS? How could they continue such a yeshiva? ;o)
