THINK BIG,
I love the story and it sounds just like the Satmarer rebbe zz’l. He was a real pikeach, even if I do not suscribe to his shitta.
Like you, I was appalled at “mariner”‘s words. I don’t want to be “mekatreg” on anyone but his words sound exactly like what our chachomim told us was the cause of the churban habays….and you all know what I am alluding to….no, not “all shelo borchu batorah techiloh”…but the other one….
Well, this is why I am a fervent follower of Reb Shlomo Carlebach zz’l. He had only love in his heart for Klal Yisroel. Halevai this would be what motivates everyone…
