Did the shul fire the new young rabbi (Todd Davidowitz) already?
Well, no. I hear “he is a young lawyer who has better employment options — was never going to be their long term option. I think they were ready to start looking for a more seasoned guy who will be the catalyst to revitalize the depleted Ashkenazi minyan that got relocated from the main shul to the social hall.”
Jeff says: So Mogen David is back to the drawing board …. Again.
I wonder what talented rabbi is going to put his career on the line for them with their track record
I wonder how many congregants will put up with this constant mess.
I’d rather pray at YICC at this point.
