ReplyDeleteWhy doesn't any Rov speak out against this Mordy Shtieble???
ReplyDeleteWhat's wrong with it? The boys there are shteiging
DeleteTell me your name so I can speak against you
DeleteWhy go name less
If you think your right stand up and say something
The whole shteible was worth it a million times over. A boy who happens to be name less but he is the son of rabbi.... and his father told me that his son hasn't put on teffilin or davened in 2 years and he got introduced to rabbi weinreb the rov of the shteible and he starting hoping there and today he davens 3 times a day and you won't believe it he even learns there first seder in the Koller before he goes to work after mincha.
DeleteUnfortunately, YOU are the Nebach! Your Zaides would drool, as they listened to the Leviim in the Bais Hamikdosh sing while they Davened! We don't know how to connect with Hashem like that! But many Neshamos CAN"T deal with the way WE Daven. By the way, Reb Shmuel Kamenetzky Sh'lita, he should have a refua sh'laima, did speak out against Musical S'lichos as that is not supposed to be sung! He doesn't let any singing Yom Kippur night as those few pieces are S'lichos! But Davening, it may not be your way or the Yeshivasha Mehalech, but if that's how they connect to Hashem, let them be! Finally, would you rather your kids be OTD, or Davening Singers? Count your blessings!
DeleteYou're right if every shul would be as welcoming and not judgemental as the shtible then we wouldn't need it. But as things stand today this is a huge chizuk and need for many. Just as when rabbi trenk moved to Lakewood from adelphia the Rosh yeshiva said he's afraid it will bring problematic youths to Lakewood. And R dovid responded, no these are Your boys......
ReplyDeleteThe same happened with lutzk, which has become a thriving makon Torah, especially for Westgate which has limited facilities and matzav...
Due to kinah, sinah, gaivah & kavod.
DeleteThis canard that shuls are 'judgmental' needs to be stopped.
ReplyDeleteNo shul expels people for wearing shorts, colored yarmulkes or long hair. If you are chatting at the back disturbing davening, you may blame the black looks on your dress. But that is not the real reason.
Anyone who wishes to daven is welcome in every Shul. Nobody is expelled in Lakewood from a Shul.
The idea that Mordy's Shtiebel is revolutionary in that respect, is Hotza'as SHem Ra on the entire town
Of course no shul expels anybody, everyone is welcome to attend. The question is are they made to feel welcomed and part of the shul, or sit on the sidelines as an outcast. Does the rov know the names of these bachurim, or try to connect and befriend them, or they are just ignored. Will they get a kibud or Aliyah? of course not, so that's why they look for more friendly territory.
DeleteIn westgate it’s people who expel Shuls not Shuls that expel people!
DeleteFor every one otd who is chozer by the Shtieble, another 10 ho off!!
ReplyDeleteThat's a complete lie, no one is going off from any of these places. And I personally went to see for myself. They all are wonderful places of learning and growth. In fact I'm a bit jealous of the comeradrie that exists in these shuls that is so lacking in my chashuv yeshivish bais medrash.
DeleteSpecial needs shuls should be just that. No need to advertise it to the general public.
ReplyDeleteR binyomen is a goan and tzsdik who befriends every yid he doesn’t feel or make you feel it but is levels beyond in Torah avodah kedushah and prishus
ReplyDeleteThe ry r Dovid shlita( who’s a kanai )is meshuga over him
ReplyDeleteIt’s hard to meet a yorai shamayim like r binyomin
