Bureaucracy Changes Yeshiva Plans

By COLlive reporter

Tzemach Aronov wanted to relive the special atmosphere he remembered from learning in the now closed Yeshiva Tomchei Temimim in Rostov-on-Don, Russia, which was originally founded by the Rebbe Rashab.

So he and some friends announced the opening of a Yeshivas Kayitz there for summer 2011.

But Russia has its own rules and regulations. “The bureaucracy of the good-old Russian government has delayed the necessary visa permits and approval,” he says.

Instead, not giving up on the dream, Aronov set out to run the summer program in Coral Springs, Florida, using a new building recently made available for the Chabad Yeshiva there.

“Since the required approval and documents will not be ready on time, we have decided to relocate to a newly acquired building in Coral Springs,” he notified.

The summer Yeshiva for young bochurim ages 14-16 will be offering individualized attention, farbrengens, an environment of “Chassidishe Lachluchis,” Mivtzoyim, sports and trips.

A total of 22 bochurim will be accepted to this program. Most that have registered so far are from New York and other states, with 2 coming from London, England.

Applications for the remaining 6 spots at Yeshivas Kayitz (Rostov) Florida will be processed on a first come first serve basis only.
