    @AAQ “As long as you doing out of the right reasons – prudence re:Covid (*), I don’t see a problem at all”. Who are we to judge what is a good reason or a bad reason, the road to hell is paved with good intentions. So therefore the drop in memeber is a self created problem by the MO shuls its a non issue at the shuls the never closed or closed briefly,

    In a article in this weeks Ami Rabbi Moshe Taub of Young Israel of Holliswood bemoaned the fact that 30-40% of the shul members have not returned to the shul choosing instead to stay the breakway minyanim and davening byichidus.
    I guess they didnt realize that by doing a long term closure people would voted with the feet.

    @mdd1, the same chazal says asay seyug ltorah and yhay mechenecha kodosh, when someone manages to breech the seyug of our commmunity and is a mohel, an aiyd, a sofer some serious look inward is the order of the day. Would you feel the same way if a molester snuck into a school?

    @N0mesorah “Those communities that put a bigger emphasis on keeping the same ritualistic customs throughout the generations, will appear to be in steeper decline than those communities that value it less.”
    Actualy the opposite is true, the communities who emphisize minhagim are the strongest, for example upsherin, chasidisher livish etc. are alive and well, whereas YI and others with no mesorah are slowly fading away

    @ Reb E exactly my point, you are relegated to the ladies section and say the payit under your breath, not a sign of a very thriving khilla.
    @ Laymasheh 3/4 of Vien and 3/4 of Nitra davens nusach sefard and the rav wears a stramil in both

    @Reb E, the only difference in the current Debrictener mihagim and mainsteam chasidus is the yotzros [ they dont bruk, they wear chasidisher livish etc.] the typical chasam sofer with his crack hit short jacket and gartel and small beard is history and I for one think its a shame

    @AAQ, IDK, the whole gist of this thread is the yikkish way of life are slowing disappearing.
    Reb E, interesting most of the Oberlander khillos changed since WWII, Vien now davens sefard and rebbeh feers tish unheard of in the days of Rav Y Steif, Sopron had a yikkisher rav and tzelem as well.
    Mattesdorf [chasan sofer] was one of the shivah khillos and now is a chasidus complete with a Rebbah, same is true Erloh and Droger

    Sen. Ted Cruz also visited Israel Sunday and posted images of a bombed-out home following Israel’s 11-day war with Hamas.

    ‘Heartbreaking,’ Cruz wrote, in a comment he attached to a picture of the bombed out vestiges of a home where he said the caregiver to an elderly woman was killed by a Hamas rocket attack.

    ‘Countless times, I’ve seen a Mezuzah hanging on a door frame. This is the first time I’ve seen one on a home bombed by terrorists. A Hamas rocket killed the caretaker of the elderly lady who lived here in Ashkelon, in southern Israel. This is all that remains,’ Cruz wrote.

    ‘Here’s her walker,’ Cruz wrote in a subsequent post, which showed a walker and a fan atop a pile of rubble.

    Give me friends like Cruz any day of the week.

    The fact is that quite a number of misorahs have either dwindled or morph [ and in my opinion its sad]
    Beside the yekkish minhagim such as wimple etc that are slowing stopping, the majority of MO shuls are turning right or slowing petering out.
    Adas Yerim Vien has morph from Rav Yonoson Steif to Huthouser Rav to the present Rav, a huge gulf

    @yesrbius123, we took chockas hagoy from whatever land we lived in, the pinklishkiet and officialdom from the German, the elaborate cooking from Hungary, the stingness from the Poles, the hard drinking from the Russians, the emounas peshuta in the North African and the Middle East.
    For example at KAJ they circle the bemah once during each hakafa on simchas torah while hakafos in Karlin or Bobov can take hours, and at a kiddiush in a yekkisher place they will drink a revish of wine and a Chabad kiddush mashkeh flows freely

    Its more then just wearing of a tallis, I asked a Yikkish guy in his mid 20 when he is going to make a wimple so he said he is not, there are no yekkish shuls near him and he wont make one, this is in Monsey were there is 2 yekkish shuls and one is basicly changing to yeshivish because no one want to keep up with minhagim and the old members are dwindling, even in the other one there are hardly any young memebers

    “I think 1980 was a much closer election then people remember”

    Reagan won the election by a landslide, taking 489 electoral votes and Carter getting 49. Reagan received the highest number of electoral votes ever won by a non-incumbent presidential candidate.
    In fact Carter conceded at 10PM EST with the results being so obvious, looks like you were not born yet in 1980 otherwise you would have remembered

    “Say ‘Free, Free Palestine’ and nothing else,” says “comedian” who blasts those fighting anti-Semitism and terrorism.

    Amer Zahr, a former campaign surrogate for pro-Palestinian Democratic Senator Bernie Sanders and an ally to anti-Semitic Rep. Rashida Tlaib, told people on social media to “stop condemning anti-Semitism.”

    “Say ‘Free, Free Palestine’ and nothing else,” says Zahr, a “comedian” who blasts those fighting anti-Semitism and terrorism, telling them, “Just stop it!”
