Keep that in mind the next time he comes to town fundraising to “save” the Olam Hatorah!
Definitely the first Litvish Rebbe.
I think there's a huge difference between that and this...
I have to say, that is actually stunning! We might as well build a beis hamikdash for this price; let him be the fundraiser...
But yes, people do need to see this before giving another dime. We need to have our priorities straight.
