Rav Amnon Yitzchak will be speaking in Williamsburg. The man who has helped hundreds if not thousands of people see the beauty of their faith, will be speaking to people who have never known another way. I think it is time for us to be open-minded enough for a lesson in Emina Peshita. Yes, it is time for us to listen to these same principles that help bring people from a secular life of doing what they please, to a life under the yoke of Torah. We may be living that life already on the outside, but many of us have yet to internalize Rav Yitzchak’s basic message. No earrings will be added to the Keser Torah that night and no tichels will be given out, but we need the message all the same.
What is sad is the fact that we need him, an outsider, to give us that message. It is sad that some of the greatest concentrations of frum Jews are without leadership. It is sad that fights or disagreements at the very top are causing so much strife and Sinaas Chinam for the rest of us. It is sad that an important factor in shidduch research for some of is that “Ahroni / Zali” label. It is sad that tomorrow’s leaders are leading today’s fights.

Some of the videos available from Shofar do have English subtitles. Anyone care to report on how it was? I know the place was almost completly packed and he's always powerful. Did he tailor the speech for a Williamsburg crowd? Was anyone there who cares to report? I'll try to get the tape and write it up when I do.
Till then,
A Git Shabbos
