Good news for thousands of Abrahimi kollel: The Ateret Shlomo and Yishkhar Bahalich kollel chains, as well as the Ponivez kollel, managed to raise the amount required to distribute delayed salaries to the avrechim - even before Passover.
As revealed in Haredim 10 about a week ago, some of the networks, where thousands of students study, have been unable to pay the students' scholarships in recent months.
Today, happily, a bank transfer was made to the Abrechs of the 'Ateret Shlomo' kollel - Safed to Netivot - in the amount of four scholarships for four months that had not been paid. Although the Abrechs have not yet received salaries, they received large discounts on matzah, clothing and even eyeglasses in honor of the holiday.

According to the network's managers, within a week, Rabbi Sorotzkin managed to obtain $8 million.
The Yishkhar Be'alich kollel network also announced today that the head of the network, Rabbi Elchanan Weisbord, managed to raise millions of shekels, and the money will be transferred to the kollel's accounts tomorrow, on the eve of Passover.
Even at the Ponivez Kollel of the Gra Kahaneman, where the last two months' salaries were not transferred, the accounts of the avrechims were credited today, and the money will appear in the bank accounts tomorrow.
A kollel abbot said in a conversation with Haredim10: "This is a real gift, because, thank God, I was able to finish shopping for the holiday without needing a scholarship, which I almost gave up on, because of the difficult situation for kollel abbots. Now that the money has come in, we will repay debts that we didn't think to repay before the holiday. Although the money hasn't yet appeared in the bank account, the good news also helps us enter the holiday with joy.".
