I'm sitting here
in my so-called suka. I say so-called
because we don't have the we just have
four bare four bare walls.
And that's the message that I share with
you regarding the aid of controversying
in Crown Heights.
The beauty of the suka is it takes
everyone in.
In my previous message about the ad of
some people called and uh kind of
complained, intimated, you know, why am
I mixing in? And and really that's not
where I'm coming from. I don't live in
Crown Heights. I live in Burough Park.
However, I know the community of Crown
Heights from my childhood. I was born in
Crown Heights. I grew up with the people
there, most who have passed on. the reba
the secretaries and many others. So I
feel and I am an insider, not an
outsider, even though the place I sleep
usually is in Boro Park. But be that as
it may,
all I was saying is of course the
Rabonim, the rabbis of the community,
they establish the rules of the
community for the
Okay.
If the rabbis say it's forbidden to have
an AV in Crown Heights,
that's the way it is.
If you're not happy with their ruling,
take them to to other rabbis and see if
an other rabbis can overrule them. I'm
not coming from that perspective.
I'm coming from a very simple
perspective. When we have people living
in a community who are unhappy
and and want to find a way to be part of
the community, it's it behooves the
rabbis and the leadership of that
community to give them some platform to
give them recognition. That's all I'm
saying. And at the end it the ruling
might be
you know we feel for you we understand
you but we believe that Ebba didn't want
this and this is the way it is and
that's it but show them that you care
for them. These are your people. These
are our people. There is a big element
today in Crown Heights of young people
who want a nu.
They don't want to be the women don't
want to be stuck in their home. And
trust me, the first time that I saw a
woman car, you pushing a a stroller on
Shabas,
I had to control myself from going over
to her and saying, "This is not allowed
here. Stop it. Please respect our
community."
And I know some probably are thinking,
"Well, why didn't you do that?" Because
it would be worse. it wouldn't
accomplish that she should come closer.
So we have to find ways of of bringing
the message across and that's the suka
incorporates everyone. In other words,
we baba we'll take in anyone into our
suka. We'll take anyone that's not
yet religious
or has lifestyle issues that are very
antithetical to Torah. We'll take them
in. We'll embrace them.
But our own
we push aside. You know better. You went
to Brika. You went to the Babach Shiva.
You went to Alutra.
My dear friends,
the beauty of life is as you grow and as
you open your mind and you see the
larger picture,
you
try and you find ways of bringing to
people together.
The Reb clearly gave over these type of
things to the to the Rabonim, to the
community, the Vad and leaders. So it's
up to them. That's that's my point. My
point is we have an issue. We have
people who are not satisfied. We have
women who are stuck and say we don't
want this. We can't live this way. And
if indeed someone made an aid of that's
kosher from a reputable group of rabonim
or aid of raonim then somehow
deal with it and and and and explain
that although that's true but for if you
want to be a labaturer in the community
of crown heights we kits cannot accept
that.
So,
I know you're probably thinking, "What
has Rabbi Dolphin here added that's
innovative?"
I'm not here to add innovation. I'm here
to to get us to work with each other.
And I'm talking primarily to the leaders
of the community, the Vad, the Rabonim,
Rabosai.
Please listen to the child cry. There
are hundreds and thousands of people
that are are crying out and they're say
they need this. They want to celebrate
Shabas properly and Yokiper properly. So
help them somehow. How? That's your job.
May Hashem help that from our
foundation of willingness to work
together and to to really as the Reb
says in the which I'm teaching now and
encourage you to learn or listen to on
my YouTube channel.
Come from that perspective of aasis.
Don't come from a perspective ah these
are modern laburers. These are
lightweights. They don't care. They'll
do whatever they want. We've seen in the
last 1015 years a mikvah that was opened
and to begin with there was a kashai.
How can you open another mikvah? It's
for people who don't want to be a
stringent in the laws of mikvah and now
they'll have a way out. The mikvah was
accepted. The mikvah is the mikvah is is
only helping people.
The same is here with the Af. Somehow
if done right
it it'll it'll it'll bring us to a
better place to a stronger place to be
moreish
etc. Everyone should have a
good
and we should have taken
a
