My undersanding is that this post is about BMG – Lakewood. I think that there needs to be a little bit of an explanation given. Most bochurim coming to learn in Lakewood, are coming to BMG when they are at least 22-23. They have spent numerous years learning in other Yeshivos – both in the US & in E”Y – prior to coming to BMG. So, they already have a Rebbi or R”Y to whom they feel close. Most Bochurim are blessed to have a warm, personal relationship with a Rebbi or R”Y. So, although BMG is so large and many Bochurim aren’t zoche to have a close kesher with the R”Y, at least they have a Rebbi or R”Y from their previous Yeshiva.
