50 roshei kollel in the Gerrer community in Israel, have signed a statement calling for the shortening of bein hazemanim after Sukkos.
The letter calls for the zeman in Gerer yeshivos at the end of the months of Tishrei and Av to begin earlier, not waiting for the start of the following month, as doing so, it says, “has no validity.” By starting the zeman earlier, the talmidim will not lose “precious days of learning.”
This year, in particular, the letter calls for the winter zeman to start on Sunday, 28 Tishrei, October 30, not waiting for Rosh Chodesh on Tuesday or Wednesday of that week.

What about the Rebbe? Doesn’t he make those decisions?
Beautiful! If only all yeshivos will follow suit. We need extra protection during bein hazmanim. last year during bein hazmanim all the stabbings started r’l.
They started on Yom Tov or Erev Yom Tov, when yeshivah is off anyways, BUT it is still a wonderful idea.
This doesn’t seem like a call to end bein H’Zmanim earlier. It is a pledge to keep an earlier takono about doing so
Yeshivat Har Etzion always starts choref zman a couple of days before rosh chodesh cheshvan. It also ends choref zman about 4 days after rosh chodesh nissan and starts kayitz zman on 26 nissan approximately
