A need to read YWM to find out what is happening “in town”. Frankly, finding this OOT references a little snobby form people who strictly speaking live on islands off the American continent. Well before Lakewood, Torah often lived “OOT”, far away from Berlin, Paris, Mehoza, Alexandria, Rome, Bavel …

October 7, 2021 8:37 am at 8:37 am #2013194mb10ParticipantIs this the latest trend by chassidim to go to OOT Kollelim?
(Chicago ×2!! Baltimore LA Toronto Detroit Arizona.)
What the incentive?October 7, 2021 5:22 pm at 5:22 pm #2013393benignumanParticipantMontreal has a large Chasidish community. Almost every chasidus has a shul in Montreal.
October 7, 2021 9:33 pm at 9:33 pm #2013462mb10ParticipantObviously these kollelim are paying very well that someone looking to continue learning can do so comfortably.
(I heard that the closer ones/ e.g. Baltimore pays in the 1500 range plus covered rent, and the farther ones/chicago in the 2000 range plus rent.
Also from what I heard, in Chicago they help significantly those who choose to buy a house.)The question is that is this really their only option to stay in learning (without their wives working like a chicken without a head.) , or is there some other reason so many chassidishe yungerleit are doing this?
October 7, 2021 10:00 pm at 10:00 pm #2013473ujmParticipantbenignuman: How do you like Montreal?
October 7, 2021 10:45 pm at 10:45 pm #2013481mb10ParticipantBetween all these kollelim there must be around 100+ chassidishe yungerleit doing this.
Sounds a little crazy!
Is in town so broke in providing for chassidishe bnei Torah that so many people are doing this? -
