interesting comments (aren’t there other staff members as well? Or are Rabbis Winner and Rabbi Labkowski the only ones?!?!?!)…Good luck Rabbi Blau!
Chovevei has the finest staff and with Rabbi Blau as menahel it is bound to become the top institution in Crown Heights, and possibly Lubavitch.
Chovevei Torah is going to be one of the best Yeshivos in Lubavitch.
yet another menahel in the blau family, very nice! You people are power-houses, yashr koach!
My sentiments exactly. While the staff at Chovevei is very good, Rabbi Paltiel is amazing. Excellent role model AND knows whats going on in todays world to meet the needs of todays bochurim.
Thank you Rabbi Paltiel from a very appreciative parent!
I cannot believe the comments left out Rabbi Paltiel! Rabbi Paltiel is an unbeleilvable maggid shiur who has a very close connection with the bochurim. Thank you for all you do!
Rabbi Labkowski is the real thing.
Hey #29, I was in your class this year, and you were a great friend, and R. Blau an amazing teacher
P.S. Did you hear of the new 3D phone? : )
I agree 100% to commentator 28.
He was my teacher this year and he was amazing. I had a very good year, and a lot is thanks to him. He’s so dedicated, and his main objective is for everyone to succeed!
I wish him much success in all that he does for many more year’s!
is one of the hidden treasures of Crown Heights
he was my magis shiur 5 years ago he is amazing knowing exactly what where and when etc. no words how to thank him for what he did for me in the past and now in the prestnt
reb mendel alot of hatzlacha in your new shlichus alot of sucsses
We had a very positive experience with Rabbi Weinfeld as Menahel when our son was in Chovevei Torah. We wish him much Hatzlacha for all future endeavors.
Rabbis Labkowski and Winners have an unbelievable amount of devotion and dedication to raising strong Chassidishe bochurim with Yiras Shamayim. They are constantly looking for ways to improve and strengthen the Yeshiva. Yasher Koach for all you have done!
go rebbi… we will miss i hope this means we can still come over!!!!!!!
Boruch Hashem for this new developement! Rabbis Labkowski and Winner work tirelessly for the good of the bochurim . They are held in high esteem by alumni shluchim AND baleibatim all over the world. Hatzlocha to Rabbi Blau!
Wish him Hatzlocha in his new Position Hope he stays with it.When he stopped giving Ashiur in Gemara Baitzah to the Baal Habatim in the Lefferts shul It ultimately led to the cessation of what was a successful well attended & liked shiur
Yes, Rabbi Blau has been an incredible teacher and Oholei Torah will miss him sorely. However, those who know him well have seen someone with deep scope, unsurpassed understanding and true leadership qualities. Was always sure he’d be opening his own Yeshiva soon – BH he chose to share his talents with CH by accepting this position, our community is very fortunate!
As a former proud Talmid of chovevei Torah, I want to congratulate the tireless staff for this great news.
Alei veHatzlach
Chovevei Torah is definitally going in the right direction, with the appointment of the new menahel. Rabbi Labkowski and Rabbi Winner are always doing the best for the yeshivah they trully care for each and every bochur both B’gashmius and B’ruchnius and I’m positive that the new menahel will really help the yeshiva to continue to grow. WISHING THEM ALL HATZLACHA RABA AND A HUGE YASHER KOACH FOR ALL THAT YOU HAVE DONE FOR SO MANY OF OUR BOYS WHO ARE NOW SHLUCHIM OF THE REBBE ALL OVER THE WORLD!
Chovevei Torah really made a wonderful move in adding such a talented yungerman like Rabbi Blau. With his dedication, I see Chovevei Torah moving in the right direction being a Yeshiva that will cater to each talmid with individual attention. Much hatzlacha!
we lOVE you!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Rabbi Blau’s understand and insight with bochurim is rare and unusual wishing him tremendous hatzlacha
We greatly appreciate Rabbi Winner and Rabbi Labkovski getting involved and working tirelessly that Chovevei should march forward. They kept the Yeshiva going and will make it reach new heights with the addition of Rabbi Blau. Yasher Kayach.
Agree with #13 absolutely
Chovevei Torah has added a new jewel in the crown of Torah that it has been providing for so many years. The outstanding learning of the Roshe Hayeshiva – Rabbi Zushe Winner and Rabbi Yisroerl Labkovski is incomparable. The dedication of the Yeshiva to the students and individualized attention has a long history. With this new development it wil iy”h be the best Yeshiva in Lubavitch.
he is one of the best ppl i have ever met in my life. this is a big loss to OT……oh well
Mazel Tov and best wishes for Hatzlocho Rabba U’miflago to Rabbi Mendy Blau on his new position. We have every faith in you. Your fan club upstairs
With the great Hanhala, this Yeshiva will flourish
rabbi mendy blau!! my best teacher!
he will do a wasome job
Best wishes from your fan club in Montreal!
Chovevei Torah is a school of the highest caliber and constantly keeping up with the needs of bochurim nowadays. The individualized attention of Rabbis Labkowski and Winner is very unique and I look forward to much success under the leadership of Rabbi Blau.
Rabbi Blau is leaving oholei torah??? He was my sons teacher, and my son really liked him, i wish him much success in his new position.
What for sure is that Chovevei Torah lost a great Menahel and Oholei Torah lost a great teacher, what the future holds only time will tell.
That Rabbi Weifeld is leaving Chinuch is definitely not a good thing (and its important to know why he’s leaving…..), and that a great teacher becomes a Menahel is a gamble. Lets hope for the best.
Rabbi Weinfeld did a wonderful job for many years. Where is he going? I am sure the new menahel will also do a good job but talented people like Rabbi Weinfeld are very rare and should be kept at all cost.
what a lose for oholei torah!
he was such a awesome magid shiur!
Ish hanochan bemakom hanochan. You were the best Maggid Shiur ever. You showed a personal interest in each student and your shiurim were the most interesting. Oholei Torah will miss you.
