this article above is so important and true!!
It truly describes the pure power of Torah and Ahavas Yisroel of the original intention of our Rebeyim.
Very few places like this yeshiva!
Anyone who wants to invest in Tomchei Tmimim and appreciates our Holy Rebeyim should definitely send tzedaka to support this remarkable yeshiva with the amazing hanhala.

This article rings true on many levels. I gained so much from my time there.

As for why it became less popular –

I had a group of young bochurim in my house last year. Our of curiosity, I asked if any of them were considering Montreal for Zal.

They all said no.

I asked why, and they said because nobody goes there.

So it turns out that nobody goes because nobody goes. Not because the hanhala is no good, or the gashmius is no good, or any other identifiable reason. I guess if a sefer Torah needs mazel, a yeshiva does too.

But something as silly as that can turn around in one year, when a few somebodies decide to go and suddenly, people go because people go.
Whoever goes will be happy that they did, and parents can relax knowing that their son is not a lab mouse being experimented upon by inexperienced purists, but rather is in the hands of calm and supportive veteran hanhala who have seen it all.

Boruch Hashem I grew tremendously from the years I spent there, specifically from the real and the amazing hanahala there, true role models! Highly recommended!
