Sounds about right. I still have nightmare of him pounding on my door yelling "KIRAS SHMA"!!
Was he calling gym's a "Beis Zonos" in your day too?

Somehow his name makes sense...

excuse my ignorance, but what does the word 'zal' stand for/mean?

Guys, don't give everyone the impression that Chabad is not makpid on Lashon hara, whatever you think of the guy ...

ZAL also stands for Zeirei Aguda - Lubavich   ::)

A Zal is where you go for 3 years after about 3 years of mesivta.
As you can see most places are called by their city except:
Oholei Torah and Chovivei Torah which are on Eastern Parkway in CH.
YOEC=Yeshiva Ohr Elchonon Chabad in LA, which was given by R' Simcha Wasserman to R' Ezra Schochet, a gaon who went through the litvisher system and then became chabad.
Toras Emes=J'lem.
Motown=Morristown, NJ.
Brunoy is near Paris.
Save your time, I don't answer PM. Post it in the forum and a dedicated DDF'er will get back to you as soon as possible.

Sorry, you're right.
I had skimmed through the thread and there was a discussion about Smicha, so I thought you were including Smicha too.

  • Location: The value of a forum such as this one is not in that one can post a question and receive an answer, but in that the question has most likely been asked before, and the answer is available to him that will but only use the search function.
  • Programs: 1. Search on google. 2. Search in the right board of DDF with a general word or two. 3. Read the wiki. 4. Read the thread. 5. Ask away.

It's post zal/yeshiva-gdola. In fact many of the Kvutza guys from this year ('72) are post-smicha too.
