Many frum websites and blogs posted articles or op-eds by rabbonim condemning the violence in Beit Shemesh. Some of the rabbis may be known while others are just anonymous. They may be right and well intentioned. However, a response should come from a higher authority- not by self appointed spokespersons and opportunists who call themselves rabbis that are popular only online but do not have any real position of leadership.
Our Leaders are not created by websites or made popular by the many hits or like's they get on facebook. Our Gedolim are people who are looked up to by the klal; people who are true Talmidei chachomim and yirei hashem. We need to hear a condemnation from gedolim such as the Agudah response which has Gedolim sitting at its helm.

Right on. The problem is that when agudah is slow to respond others take advantage.
ReplyDeleteIt used to be that Gedoilim in Minhag Amerika were made by Trainer & Moshe Sherer. We are a doir of yesoimim, who will make a Godol?Bimokoim'she'ain-ish....
ReplyDeleteGood question. Who asked YOU for YOUR opinion?
ReplyDeletethere is a leadership vaccume and many oppurtunist and so called internet rabbis will become the spokespersons for all of klal yisrael.
ReplyDeletemany of these rabbanim were always bashing the frum, this time they may be right but are the wrong messengers to scream out.

ReplyDeleteDid you get permission from the gedolim to air your opinion on this blog? Are you not acting as a self-appointed spokesman?
