Last night's hachtorah was a tremendous source of chizuk, not only to Rabbi Braun, but to the Badatz as a whole. If anything, it shows that our community is hungry for the type of authoritative leadership that can only be provided through the rabbonim of the Beis Din.
With this in mind I ask all of Crown Heights - those who joined in the hachtorah, and those who did not - to strengthen halachah and rabbonus in the shechunah and pay the Mas Hakohol.
Mas Hakohol is a community fund that was instituted when the Beis Din was first established. Mas Hakohol pays the salaries and expenses associated with the Beis Din.
Mas Hakohol is only $180 for the year, and can be paid in installments of $15/month. As a community it is our shared responsibility to support the Beis Din and the rabbonim!
I wish that more COMMUNITY people were present last night.
ReplyDeleteI was disappointed that a number of speakers made reference to Rabbi Osdoba (B’rimiza) in a derogatory way. No one was Mocha!
ReplyDeleteRabbi Rosenberg might have found a loophole so that Rabbi Braun does not legally have to show Rabbi O his Smicha but for the sake of peace!?
Zaki,
pls try to convince Braun to show some effort on his part and to show Osdoba his Smicha.
