The strengths of "Out Of Town Kollelim" V Lakewood's "BMG", according to Rav Shach, Z"L
Rav Shach was asked whether Yungerleit should go to an out-of-Town kolel or remain in
Lakewood with a much larger group learning in the Bais Medrash Govoha’ s kolel.
Rav
Shach's clear opinion was, that a yungerman can shteig the most by going to an out-of-town
kolel within three to four months after their wedding. Some of the reasoning
was that by remaining in Lakewood, they must attend various Simchas from both
sides, visit the in-laws on a pretty steady basis, and the in-laws or other
family members exchange Shabbos etc. , it does take away a considerable amount of time from
learning. The Masmid will always outdo all others in success in shteiging and
learning. Also, not getting enough rest is an area of concern.
Rav Shach said that going to an out of town Kolel, Is incredibly beneficial for Sholom Bayis overall.
Out
of Town kolel, one would have to be on time for Davening, and all Sedorim must
be attended. In an out-of-Town kolel, each looks for the other to get them
comfortably acclimated, the wives get friends much faster, etc. In addition, the
wives will be able to get jobs as teachers in the local schools, which will impact
the curriculum and the children learning in the schools.
Eventually,
some of the yungerleit will become Rebbeim in the Schools, giving a different "Ruach"
to the Schools.
The
amount of time spent learning will be much more productive in an an-out-of-Town
kolel. Rav Shach said it would save the Yah'hadus of America by having so many
out-of-Town-Kolelim.
Rav
Shach said that certain Gevirim, Roshei Yeshiva, etc. would insist that their
children should remain in Lakewood and eventually become Roshei Chaburah, get a
position as a Rosh Yeshiva, etc., so there has to be Roshei Yeshiva that will
be able to make those decisions for the benefit of the yungerleit and the
Yeshiva.
Next step, we spoke to some of the older Talmidim of Reb Ahron Kotler, who already had their own Yeshiva, to talk to the Lakewood Roshei Yeshiva to implement the program. They tried talking to them but were unsuccessful in convincing them of the program's benefits. Reb Elya, Z"L said ver fun zei hubben dem gushpanka tzu zugen du bleib, und du zulst gein; keiner nisht!
Update: Rav Breitowitz was asked to propose this initiative at an Agudah convention, He said the Balei Batim loved the Idea, but there was push back from BMG.

Rabbinate Warns: Popular "RABANUT" Paraguay Beef Cuts Sold for Two Years Found Non-Kosher-
Rabbinate Warns: Paraguay Beef Cuts Sold for Two Years Found Non-Kosher
Israel’s Chief Rabbinate issued an urgent kashrut warning after inspectors found a major failure in nikkur (deveining) on frozen beef imported from Paraguay, leaving prohibited fats (cheilev) in commonly sold asado products.
The concern spans multiple slaughter/production seasons over roughly two years, meaning significant quantities may already be in home freezers, butcher shops, and institutional kitchens.
Two specific products:
a premium frozen beef “asado” cut with bone under the Super Beef brand, and an asado-with-bone product marketed by Of Yerushalayim, produced in Paraguay. Consumers and retailers are instructed not to use the meat unless it is immediately corrected by a qualified menakker under kosher supervision, and to return affected product to the point of sale or through kashrut supervisors for reprocessing.
This is a halachic/kashrut compliance issue—not a food safety recall—but the Rabbinate is treating it as an urgent “stumbling block” and says distributors and mashgichim have been directed to pull and fix inventory fast.

Which Bais Din should one go to?
I have been A Toen in Botei-Din for Numerous years, I retired after seeing first hand the behind the scene of just about all of them.
In the past year, I had a Choshen Mishpat Din Torah, I only agreed to go to the Bais Din of America.
I lost at the Din-Torah, yet I still recommend to everyone, that the Bais-Din to go to, is the Bais-Din of America.
