The yeshiva was also in the news when a fire in a nearby home caused the evacuation of the yeshiva, and three students, along with their teacher, Rabbi Yigal Abramchik, saved the lives of a woman and her child.
In 2010, after lifting a controversial blanket internet ban that had been in place for several years, the yeshiva was the first in Brooklyn to demand that parents monitor their sons' internet activity by purchasing software and signing up for the Web Chaver monitoring service.

Famous quotes containing the words news and/or events:
“Charles Foster Kane: Look, Mr. Carter. Here is a three-column headline in the Chronicle. Why hasn’t the Inquirer a three-column headline?
Carter: News wasn’t big enough.
Charles Foster Kane: Mr. Carter, if the headline is big enough, it makes the news big enough.”

“Reporters are not paid to operate in retrospect. Because when news begins to solidify into current events and finally harden into history, it is the stories we didn’t write, the questions we didn’t ask that prove far, far more damaging than the ones we did.”
—Anna Quindlen (b. 1952)
