I stepped outside my house yesterday and the outside mincha minyan was gathering. The one individual who refuses to daven at his steps, who was hospitalized for 2 weeks, starts yelling at me that he is not mochel me for embarrassing him b'rabim for davening at the minyan. I never embarrassed him. I asked simply how he knows he is not contagious and how he can expose others who daven at that minyan who know for a fact that they havent had the virus. I just cant deal with these people. The curses that he hurled at me were just astonishing. All in the name of frumkeit. I have not said a word to anyone of my neighbors, except n jest for the last week. I have no control over them. I'm just very disappointed that I am surrounded by selfish people.
The Gerrer Rebbe was not seen in public for 5+ weeks until he came to the window 2 days ago to give kavod achron to one of his chasidim. His many chasidim on my block insist on making quasi-porch minyanim, where some stay on their own steps but others come from around the corner and yet others stroll up and down the block all davening. I just cant understand. The chasidim are more frum than the Rebbe?
I'm sorry, am I the crazy one here?
End/rant for now...
