So no Rosh Yeshiva's only mashgichim and rebbes speaking?
ReplyDeleteWhy?
over time the Asifa became more of a Chasiddisher event, most of the speakers will be in yiddish and so will most of the crowd. it may have been the brainchild of the Lakewood mashgiach but has been hijacked by the Chasidisher olam as they have more clout and more demands.Rav dovid feinstein, RY MTJ is scheduled to speak in english.
ReplyDeleteIt is NOT rav dovid Feinstein from MTJ, its a different one from eretz yisrael
ReplyDeleteSatmar threattening not to show if rav don speaks.
