Rav Sholom Ber Sorotzkin has now acquired the old building of Telshe Yeshiva in Telshe, Lithuania. According to reports he is going to use the building for a yeshiva he will be opening there
Honestly, from a nostalgia perspective this is nice. Beyond that I dont see any reason for this. Who is going to learn there and why? It seems like a big waste of money and resources. Rav Sorotzkin is a descendant of Roshei Yeshiva from Telshe. In the past he has taken rocks and bricks, along with the original doors, from this old building and brought them to Israel to be placed in his yeshivas here in Israel (he mentions it in this publicity video he made several years back, which I have posted here in the past). I wonder if he will ship the original doors back and install the, back on the original building for his new yeshiva.
