The big question is
February 15, 2025 9:35 pm

Where is the yeshiva in all of this, starting from having safe places from bachurim to stay, and taking full responsibility for the safety and well being of all those affected by this tragedy.

Great question

If you were to believe the articles that they were in yeshiva, you have a very valid question.
This wasn’t a yeshiva dorm.
They were lubavitch young men living in ch privately renting from a private person.

I’m quite surprised at the comments. These are young frum bachurim from our community who just went through a tragedy. Imagine the tables were turned and this was your child crying for help. If you can help great. If not , then at least perhaps consider saying a perek Tehilim for another Jew that is in a Tzara.

These Bochrim are currently not part of the Yeshiva. Maybe they used to be in the past. They are all working Bochrim who rented an apt. Nothing to do with 770. They all need help now,

Many are students of 770

On Friday night, I had a bochur come over for the meal that he lived in the basement of this house.
All his belongings BH were not burned, but everything is smelling fire. Hope he can get rid of the smell at least. Imagine the other bochurim who had everything burned down. Hashem Yishmor.

if the bochurim need financial assistance, it would help by clarifying if the homeowner has insurance, and if it covers temporary replacement accommodations, and belongings replacements, if the yeshiva ensures that bochurim have health insurance and coverage and who is creating this charidy campaign and specifically for who and what. when’s there’s a tragedy, simply popping up a charidy page without deep background is counterproductive

Then don’t give. Anyone who feels inclined to will give and anyone who doesn’t won’t. Simple

Not the homeowners problem, They were not part

Home owners insurance does not cover personal property of others, That is why everyone should buy renters insurance it’s cheap, And this is exactly the situation that it covers.
Is not the school’s problem they had nothing to do with 770 yeshiva!

I’m
Not related to any of the boys . I’m just quite shocked at the coldness being displayed. We run to help not frum ppl. A bachur that needs winter clothes and Tefillin we ask a million questions. They are not affiliated with the yeshiva they are graduates if the yeshiva. The owner will not share with his tenants his pay out. Right now they need help. Maybe consider not buying one morning coffee and help a fellow Jew in need.

First of all, refuah shelaima, and their other needs taken care of. Now, PREVENTION! Roughly 3,300 home fires are caused by extension cords each year, resulting in 50 deaths and 270 injuries.  Extension Cord Safety employers and employees need to consider an important element of electrical safety in the workplace — the safe use of extension cords. The most important thing to remember is that extension cords are for temporary use only (up to 90 days in General Industry workplaces).
