What Happened To Young Israel Of North Beverly Hills?

They’ve halted construction of their new building.

They’re fighting amongst themselves.

There’s talking of selling their new plot of land and partially constructed building to a Sephardic shul.

The place has fallen apart since Rabbi Sholom Tendler left.

YINBH are a bunch of rich people (40 member families) who are all used to getting their own way and they find it hard to compromise with each other.

They can’t find a new rabbi. They’re not sure what they want. Do they want a quiet teacher type such as Nahum Braverman or do they want a commanding pulpit rabbi with the remote personality and big ego that usually comes along with the rhetoric?
