@eitan770 I am still hoping you could come back with any questions and answers via igros throughout this "project". In the meantime, I listened to a meeting of Hanholas Hayeshiva with the bochurim. I was wondering what anyone who plays down what ANY bochurim did has to say in response to what R' Labkowski said at the meeting.
Well, I'm no longer a 770 bochur, so I wasn't present at the Asifah, but my understanding from multiple guys who were there is that nothing much was said at all.
- Shlomo Zarchi said that the bochurim should cry at the Ohel all night and then go to golus (and verify whether Philadelphia is far enough). I'm sure they'll get right on that.
- Labkowsky said that the bochurim were like the Chashmonaim, who had good intentions, but took a job that wasn't theirs.
- Gedalia Bluming said that anyone who does something like this already "took himself out of Yeshiva."
- Shmuli Avtzon came and asked what the Hanholah is going to do to punish the bochurim, and they basically told him to have a nice day.
