Due to the success of the fundraising dinner held in the United States on behalf of Mir Yeshiva, marking 200 years since its foundation, many avreichim are smiling ahead of Pesach. It is reported the dinner raised millions of dollars for the yeshiva.
Many avreichim have reportedly received NIS 3,000-3,500 NIS each ahead a Yomtov, a handsome some to put it mildly, significantly more than expected.
Their salaries were distributed along with an additional NIS 1,000 as per a promise made by R’ Shlomo Rechnitz coupled with the dinner and the hard work of the Rosh Yeshiva who worked tirelessly to get the bonus ahead of Yomtov.

Bli Ayin Hara. I hope they enjoy it and have a wonderful chag. They are the Guardians of Klal Yisroel.
“a handsome SOME to put it mildly..”
Brilliant YWN, brilliant. You have SUM articulation!
Of course they are happy for sitting and learning. They make me jealous.
Its nice that they got a bonus for pesach.
#3 Jealous? בדרך שאדם רוצה לילך מוליכין אותו
If you really want to sit and learn you can do it even if you are the soul breadwinner. Plenty of men work 8 hours a day and learn between 6-8 hours.
#4 oops… sole breadwinner
#3, you should be jealous of the zechusim. The Zionists goal is to take these avreichim away from the gemara into their atheist army, ironically those soldiers wont be getting any bonuses for Pesach. The mishna says those dedicated to learning will not worry about kemach.
