At the Woodbourne shul today in the Catskills
The Shabbos for Rabbonim was at the Armon Hotel in Stamford Connecticut.
ReplyDeleteThat's a Tziyoni hotel.
DeleteWhere's our resident NKnic?
All of a sudden, if the RY does it, it's OK lehitchaber with the Mizrachists?
What do great about davening past the zman and fressing at the Woodbourne Shul
ReplyDeleteNot the whole entire world is a Yeshiva. We have an obligation to look out for those who might be on the lower level than us in some ways. Trying to keep the whole world of Jews at the same standard is silly infantile and useless. Yeshivos of old were called yeshiva hakedosha, not the whole world is holy.
DeleteHmmm, what do great about driveling about other Yidden
DeleteIt creates a geshmak in davening. I look forward to davening at the Woodbourne shul for the chilled atmosphere and great food and also the brochos from the Rebbe of course.
DeleteThat is the minhag hamakom.
DeleteGo to any shul is Monroe or Willi, many in the Catskills, and that's what they do.
Maybe you are poretz geder by davening too early? And not drinking a glezeleh?
At least they don't fress on meat boards and kugel like you
Maybe a cold shul like a certain big yeshiva in Lakewood, where there's no mashkeh, no chazzonim. What did they serve in Connecticut to the RY and his 300 rabbonim?
No great maylah to daven like that outside
ReplyDeleteNo great yeridah to see that picture
DeleteDuring COVID, what was the heter to daven outside?
DeleteEspecially now that we know it wasn't true.
The reason the picture of the people in Woodbourne Shul are photographed from behind is that we shouldn't see the faces of the people who are doing something against halacha like davening outside.
ReplyDeleteThey are probably fine Jews who don't know this halacha, and the onus is on the Rav there to teach them.
The photos are clearly not a Bikaa.
DeleteThese are designated areas near the shul, there is no chashash of ovrim vshavim.
And for the kabalistically inclined, this is a wooded area.
If you want to take a stringency on top of a best practice you should keep it to yourself or people may realize you don't know what you're talking about.
Who says you can’t daven outside? And Is the porch called outside?
ReplyDeleteGive them bread, and they will come
