The zal is no longer the only forum in which Lubavitch teens are educated

Schneur Zalman of NY commenting to Chabakuk Elisha - a snapshot of his Chabad Shule:

In fact Horav Schneur Zalman Schneerson of Flatbush - Paris a close associate of the 6th Lubavitcher Rebbe opened up the sort of institute I suggested in the 1960s in Brooklyn. It was called Shevet Yehuda institute of Technology (SYRIT). It was designed to train sub -academic engineers and technicians as well as other skilled para professionals. It also had a full morning limude kodesh program. It obviously failed as no group supported Rav Schneerson. I am not talking college with football, co-eds, frats etc. I am talking of a serious Orthodox technical school designed to train bachurim to make a good living . May I also note that the world changes, it does not remain static. The 6th Lubavitcher Rebbe and his father the Rashab were rabid anti Zionists, the 7th Rebbe was not. The Zemach Zedek was a posek the other Rebbes were not. The Rebbe was opposed to college. On the other hand the Rebbe, his brother, his nephew, etc. all went to college and to grad schools in many instances.

Here at YU we have employees who are Satmarer, Lubavitch (Alter Metzger), Skver, Yeshivish (Rav Aron Kahan) Charedi (Rav Yosef Weiss), Hirschian (Rav Fulda). No one here forces anyone to abide by any narrow hashkafic framework. There are clearly many Lubavitcher students here (YU) there are others at Touro and Stern. Still more in Hunter College, vechuli. This is the reality. The zal is no longer the only forum in which Lubavitch teens are educated.
