Rally in Washington 11/14/23

[AsherO]

Please make this happen.

@Dan coordinate with Chabad on Campus, they’be got big representation in the VIP section and will help make it happen.

[AsherO]

Sure, and Federation would have picked the trans lesbian reform convert.

First organization/group to arrange the rally gets to choose the agenda. Next time the OU/Agudah/Chabad can make it happen on their terms.

Live feed for Hallel with Beri Weber:

What was with the shofar? And the klaf tehillim for hallel - never seen that before.

Seems the lineup was contrary to what the federation originally told the Agudah, which is what led to the Agudah releasing a letter in support of the rally.

If that’s what happened I’m sure Agudah will take it up with the Federation if they so see fit.

Why not have a massive yom tefillah on the size of the siyum hashas or Adiri Hatorah event? Everyone would want to come.

Hence the late letter from some members of the Moetzes....

Chris Smith is technically representing Lakewood.....

Wrapped 8 Tefilin so far, what are you up to?

[yelped]

If he can offer a prayer, then we can have the crowd sing Ani Maamin, and say Shema/Hashem Malach. Can we get one of the two singers to do that? Would have been nice to have a coordinated event with the religious much earlier, but clearly we didn't have anyone hustling on our end. At least we can turn a political event with thankfully no anti religious parts into something special.

Aaaand we have our first public (media) complaint about a religious speaker. The Reform Union and AmericNs for Peace Now both voiced concern about John Hagee.

This is why you leave this 100% political, with zero religious involvement. People can't get along.

What's their concern?

He's a hard right evangelical who believes Israel should annex the West Bank, etc. He apparently also has a history of hateful comments (whatever that means). I didn't look into it much, just saw a brief article.

[aishel]

I'm trying to get more details, but there's a flight from Detroit that can't get to the rally because some pro Palestinian bus drivers decided to walk out on the job today.

What a dud

+100000

and have all the frum come, chassidim, modern orthodox, yeshivas.... Would be very inspirational.

Yeah. I’m on a group with someone on that flight. Waited on the tarmac for 2.5 hours and now deplaned and are taking Ubers

Listen, I totally get the issue of not wanting to appear as supporting the state of Israel and the ideals of Zionism, but I think we are mature enough at this point in Golus to understand that we can separate between what has to be done and what we feel. I'm sure we would be able to arrange for a huge section of Chassidim/Yeshivish with no Israeli flags and drashos and tehillim. BH we have the numbers, and we can make a huge difference.
