At a special event that took place in Kiryas Yoel, the Satmar Rebbe, Rav Aharon Teitelbaum, distributed a total of one million dollars in cash to kollel yungeleit who had successfully completed rigorous exams on the entirety of Shulchan Aruch.
The initiative was generously funded by philanthropist Reb Yossi Brach, who personally took part in the distribution alongside the Rebbe.
The event, held in the main beis medrash of the kollelim in Kiryas Yoel, was attended by hundreds of yungeleit who had participated in the learning program and undergone the comprehensive tests. Each one was handed $6,000 in cash as a token of recognition and chizuk.
Among the recipients were forty yungeleit from Eretz Yisroel — from Yerushalayim and Bnei Brak — who had traveled to the United States to take part in the event and receive their stipends directly.
Stacks of dollar bills were seen piled high on the Rebbe’s table, visual testimony to the value the Rebbe and his chassidus place on limud haTorah and the support of lomdei Torah.
