Lakewood Alerts previously reported that Beth Medrash Govoha has been planning to raise Kollel checks by 5%. The raise was first announced by Rav Malkiel Kotler at the Adirei Hatorah event in June.
BMG CEO Rabbi Yosef Heinemann has now made the raise official.
“With profound appreciation of being one of the Adirei Hatorah of Beth Medrash Govoha, we are pleased to inform you that the monthly Kollel check as of September will be raised 5% to $1,050 monthly,” a letter to Kollel yungerleit reads.
“When the Rosh Yeshiva announced a raise to the monthly Kollel check at the recent Adirei HaTorah even, he reflected upno the extra ahavas hatorah and kavod hatorah that is manifest through this new initiative. It is truly our zechus to provide this for the Talmidei HaYeshiva and their families, whose mesirus nefesh for limud hatorah and kavod hatorah uphold the world,” the letter adds.
I feel that they should first make sure that everyone in bmg that is married gets it before they raise it. I still didn’t get the check
