But getting back to Heshi’s issue, the backbones of Gateshead are Yekkish & not Litvish [in addition to the current Gateshead Rov being a Yekke, as were most of his predecessrs], so my advice to you Heshi:-
How about amassing some Litvacs together, and commecing your own Kehilla. This would be a wonderful Chessed to your fellow bereft Litvacs who are ardently yearning for a Kehilla. ….. Bemokom She’Ein Ish:- Guess what? Hishtadel LiHeyos ish.
