With a record number of students enrolled at the Central Tomchei Tmimim in 770, it has been arranged for the Kingston ladies’ section to be open for learning during the week.
As Lubavitch grows from year to year, and with a record number of students currently enrolled at the Central Tomchei Tmimim Yeshiva in 770, it has been arranged for the Kingston ladies section to be open and accessible for learning throughout the week.
The Kingston ladies’ section was until now only open and in use for women on Shabbos. Recently, renovations have begun to accommodate the growing number of bochurim enrolled in the Central Lubavitcher Yeshiva to be able to learn there throughout the week.
The regular Kingston entrance will be closed during the week, with the entrance for the bochurim being through the Tashlich area at the back of 770.
All seats were immediately reserved and filled with bochurim learning there on the first day of its opening, plans are to continue with the renovation and to expand its capacity and provide comfortable chavrusa learning seats for close to a hundred bochurim.
Baruch HaShem!!!!
Not respectful to the women
Not fair
Let them learn in union shul
Why? The Kingston shul was anyhow closed during the week, and there is more than plenty of room in the main shul for anyone who comes to daven during the week. I think this is amazing for our bochurim who spend the entire day in 770 to be able to have a little space to breathe!
The Kingston Shul was always open during the week, always. To the people who always daven there this place is life, while the bochurim have plenty of room downstairs and in the Union Street shul. Its very wrong! In the main shul there are several
Shiurim going on which take up lots of space. And plenty of noise distracting those who are davening.
I think one thing we all can agree on is that unfortunately there isn’t enough space in 770 for anybody, not the women, bochurim, shluchim etc. If expansion was needed 30+ years ago, it is an absolute necessity today! It’s time we put our differences aside and get our act together!!
The kingston shul was NOT ‘anyway closed during the week’. Women and girls who wanted a quieter option away from the goings on in the eastern parkway women’s shul used it every day. If it is necessary and there’s really no other option for the learning that is one thing, but please realize that the kingston shul was indeed regularly used and that this is a sacrifice. A little hakaras hatov please.
Exactly!!! If the issue is about space let them use the Union Shul.
It was a big not nice trick for the ladies who Dovening regularly in Kingston. They said they will renovate for a short time , we were waiting to come there to Kingston side .
The men could learn in union if they want.
The ladies need the Kingston Shul .
The people who daven in the Kingston Shul want OUR SHUL BACK!!!
We don’t want to wait!!!
And the women are ok with this…?
This is really not nice.
There are lots of ladies who daven and learn in the Kingston shul. It is closer to the chazzan than the regular ladies section and easier to hear and see. As it is was, even with the Kingston shul there is never near enough total space for the ladies. Now there will be even less.
And to think that we thought the taslich side exit to the Kingston shul was being built to make the Kingston shul safer and more accessible for the ladies!!
Absolutely not! Whoever thought of doing this for whatever reason does not realize what this shul means to many women and girls.
Watch. This area will remain for the men’s learning and nothing will be made for the women.
We will not allow it to happen. There is plenty of room downstairs and in the Union Street Shul!
AND MAKE EVRYBODY HAPPY!!
How dare anyone take it from us the ladies?
I like only to doven there and learn with my friends.
We want it back
Me and all the rest paid a lot for the seats in Kingston shul
WE WANT IT BACK TO THE LADIES
WE WANT OUR SHUL BACK NOW!!!
Instead of the ladies section being 99% empty most of the time during the week, it is finally coming to full use 24/7!!!
The ladies Kingston shul is life for so many women girls and children.
They have the right to use this shul whenever they come. Obviously you are clueless to needs of those who daven here. WE WANT OUR KINGSTON SHUL BACK NOW!!!
how much of us actually use the shul during the week? Im glad that my son finally can learn with his freinds in 770 and not shlep to yagdil torah
The Union Shul is available for those who want.
You don’t use the Kingston shul or you would know what it means to many women and girls.
For bochurim
Meanwhile / or renovate the collel house in union st (a project that started in 1990’s remember??)
The Kingston shul is always open during the week and Boruch Hashem used by
many women and girls. How don’t you know that the shul is always open during the week. WE WANT OUR BELOVED KINGSTON SHUL BACK NOW!!!
The boys can learn in the “Ateres Skanim” yeshiva
Which is already for men .
Let the women have their Kingston Shul back
Will the Kingston Ave. shul be open for women=closed to bachurim, on Shabbos Kodesh?? This is implied with the phrase ‘during the week’s, but not explicitly stated. Women need and deserve that space on Shabbos! (A few times during the year, the women go downstairs to the main 770 while the bachurim leave) So, there is precedent of sharing spaces with scheduling: Ahavas Yisroel and all that. Sadly, there is also a precedent of frum anash women being taken advantage of or being ‘robbed’ of their needs. What will happen on Shabbos???
Wow ! never knew how so many ladies are passionate to have a place to learn and daven the entire day! If that’s the case it’s time to open a “yagdil torah” for women!
The Kingson Shul is our “Yagdil Torah”. There are definitely other options for the expansion of the Yeshiva without the Ezras Nashim.
Hopefully, the right people will found a way soon!
