bochurim shluchim
August 31, 2010 1:39 pm

Bochurim shluchim is a very good thing and a kinus to guide them and encourage is also a very good thing. My question is: Are there any bochurim who don’t get to go on bochurim shlichus because of a lack of places for them? and if there are such bochurim, are they a korban tzibur for the rest of us, or is there a way to help these bochurim find their place and their worth, even if they are not chosen to go on bochurim shlichus????

lets clarify a few points 1) no one is saying (or should say) this was a a bad thing or a useless thing to do, aderabah v’aderabah, a big yasher coach to the duchmans for putting in such thoght and care into such a program 2) there was justs something strange that only 15 bochurim (not jus misivta shluchim btw) who were invited. if this truely is for “unzar kinder” then include all of the yeshiva shluchim

There was probably a better way
August 31, 2010 10:45 am

When you do a pilot program and pick and choose a handful of bochurim, it definitely creates a feeling of elitism and snobbery. Why not announce the program within all the Yeshivos and say it is a pilot, we are accepting only 30 bochurim on a first come-first served basis? Then, the most motivated boys will be the ones who attend, not just the most well connected. I know of at least one phenomenal group of boys going to a mesivta where there are shluchim’s children who knew nothing about this. One of them is a relative of mine and… Read more »

Stop complaining! Such negative people. Be proactive and ask to be involved. It’s easier to sit back and write nasty comnments about an innovative pilot pogram.

ummmmm.....
August 31, 2010 2:52 am

just so you know mrs. duchman worked months and months AND MONTHS on this program – which im yirtza hashem will grow to include all those bochurim who werent able to attend! and she didnt get paid in the slightest!! she is just looking out for those mesivta bochurim, and realized the effect the shluchim in each yeshiva can have on the mesivta boys!! they actually had the bochurim that were going to yeshivas which participated and backed this program up! not just chose random guys…… you should be thanking them!! and p.s. the bochurim who are complaining they werent… Read more »

# 25 u really have nerve
August 31, 2010 1:36 am

telling people to keep their mouth shut it is obvious that u had
an in in it, and didn’t bother letting many other shluchim ÜNZERER”know.

August 30, 2010 10:55 pm

you obviously dont know what your talking about because 1)there are many many more shluchim who are going to misivtas who were not invited 2)shluchims kids attend mant yeshivas zals as well 3) there were bochurim there who are not going to misivtas which shluchims kids attend (wahtever that means im just using your logic)

To all those kvetcheirim out there
August 30, 2010 10:05 pm

this is a first time program, and programs MUST start off small, those that jump in too quickly fall equally fast.
And I echo the words of #13: WHY MUST WE CRITICIZE EVERY TIME SOMEONE TRIES TO DO SOMETHING GOOD?? RIBOINOI SHEL OILOM!

hello?!!
August 30, 2010 9:20 pm

it was for the shluchim mainly going to MESIVTAs that SHLUCHIMs children attend, so that excludes lots of bochurim-shluchim! why don’t you keep your mouth shut till you find out first

Speak up!

A....Bochur who was there....
August 30, 2010 8:29 pm

when the program opened up, Reb Mendel welcomed us, and informed us that this kinnus is a.. “pilot program”….just for max 2 dozen bochurim and that there will be another large one right after tishray…….and btw…there was no charge….just the opposite they had transportation back and forth from c.h…….they served a large catered lunch (i believe donated by -HOUSE OF GLATT)..refreshments throughout the day….we even got a “welcoming pack-ate” with seforim and supplies…… so bottom line we thank you to all those who had a hand in this specail kinnus- i left with alot more chayois when i boarded my… Read more »

Not enough pictures of Rabbi Markowitz….!

Looks Nice!
August 30, 2010 7:51 pm

I think you could have tapped into more resources. The Vaad Tamidei Hatmimim has done something like this in the past, besides having access to many of the Bochurim today.

because its new?

only 15
August 30, 2010 5:27 pm

why not include everyone? seems elitist

call a spade a spade
August 30, 2010 5:20 pm

all talmidei shluchim benefit unzere kinder and have been doing so way before this grassroots group!!! although you say that you will not be political it is telling that you only invited a small group when there are so many talmidei shluchim. so many that could have been invited and so many that have not yet left on their shlichus. interesting!!!!

Shadchan
August 30, 2010 5:15 pm

Parents take a close look at these bochrim. They are focused and ready to take responsibility. Good shidach material.

Rabbi Duchman you are the best !

We are proud of you.

It looks like very successful event, and organization. I think if you would team up with Vaad Talmidei Hatmimim, it would only make more successful.
