Lakewood has BMG as a backup for growing families from single boys to marriage & kollel many years after marriage.

what can YOU provide for the Brooklyn community (as much as the fact that its much larger then Lakewood or monsey etc…) that will make it a town for growth from start to finish (not only for working or older families)

ever heard the line “when a bochur comes back from Israel he heads straight to Lakewood”? cause there is no place in Brooklyn (as big as Brooklyn is) for bochrim to grow & head towards marriage.

BOTTOM LINE: Lakewood can cover you from birth to retirement etc… but Brooklyn is missing a few steps of that journey. so when a person reaches one of those steps, he needs to move to a town that has that step.

1)can you open up a BMG type yeshiva in Brooklyn for boys coming back from Israel until they get married & join a kollel?

2)can you make housing more affordable for a simple couple that the husband is learning? (Lakewood needs cheaper also but they are at least now cheaper then Brooklyn)
