DY: My original point to Nisht discusses Rabbi Twerski’s point, and his analogy to an organ on Shabbos:
I would hope that even you would agree that the analogy is highly flawed. Why not straight out compare it to two high school girls who feel closer to Hashem by worshiping Jesus? On the other hand, one can also compare it to two girls who really want to hear Shofar on Rosh Hashana (to which it is certainly closer). Why compare it to one over the other?
And further down:
P.S. I actually (think I) have a very good analogy. A Sephardi girl who wants to make Brachos on Mitzvos Asah SheHazamn Grama.
IMHO, it is an overreach that takes away from his main point that the Remo is authoritative for Ashkinazim.
P.S. On a Yom Chol, on headphones, I would have thought there is no reason why they can’t listen.
