Rabbi YY Jacobson, spiritual leader of congregation Bais Shmuel and one of the most sought after speakers in the Jewish world, presents the Rebbe’s talk on why only a Kohen was allowed to deem the leper impure and applies it to our modern age.
“We have here a blue print of how to criticize our spouses, our children, our friends,” he says in the class. “We have here a clear guideline of how and when we are permitted to expel a student from school.”
Rabbi Jacobson shares a fascinating story from one of the most famous Litvishe Gedolim, who declared that expelling a student from yeshiva is sometimes akin to a spiritual death sentence.
The weekly class by Rabbi Jacobson is presented Mondays 8:30 PM EST on TheYeshiva.net and on COLLive.

In Lubavitch you got expelled if your Yarmalka fell off while you were sleeping.It showed a lack of Yiras Shomayim.
I’m surprised that he mentions the story with the Chazon Ish without mentioning a very similar story with the Freideker Rebbe and the Rebbe Rashab. The Freideker Rebbe was the Menahel Poel of the Lubavitcher Yeshiva established by his father the Rebbe Rashab. In a very similar story where the Freideker Rebbe wanted to expel someone and the Rebbe Rashab told him not to, the Friedeker Rebbe said to the Rebbe Rashab the identical thing which the Chazon Ish’s Rosh Yeshiva said. The Freideker Rebbe told the Rebbe Rashab that if the Rebbe Rashab will over-ride his expulsion of the… Read more »
