There should be a rule: if someone did something so egregious that he deserves to be called out and shamed publicly, any time he is named, you must name the rabbonim who decided he deserves it. IM(uneducated)O, if you feel strongly enough about what he did to give permission for public bashing, you should be ok with having your name on every single article or protest. If you aren't ready to have your name out there every time the guy is mentioned, maybe you shouldn't be giving permission for others to publicly shame him. The anonymous "rabbonim and askanim" is so overused and so wrong.

Nice rule, but there’s a clear double standard with “Rabbanim and Askanim” (and by extension the media that publicizes these things) having the upper hand here.

In this particular case, I'm afraid the if push comes to shove, you'd have pretty much every single respectable Lakewood Rav do exactly that.

Good. I don't have a dog in this fight. I just think it goes against everything we stand for to publicly destroy people's lives based on anonymous "Rabbonim and Askanim." If the person deserves it, let those who decided so stand up and say, "My name is Rabbi X and this person did X and needs to do X to fix it."

honestly think its crazy to protest outside of his house
keep in mind chateau park is a development
there were bochrim there way past midnight besides all the screaming and commotion there was a lot of egg throwing involved as well
police were all over the place..... it was overall extremely unpleasant to anyone in that area
and that's not including the guys wife and kids who are probably mortified and scared
i just feel like if you have a problem with him which i understand why someone would
deal with him not his neighbors and family

Seems like nothing to do with "moser" but a personal vendetta from the owner of The Voice and his cronies to try and force him to be quiet/disgrace him.

When I was in BMG I sat next to the ‘Career Counsler’ one zman. Every accredited college has one, therefore BMG has one too.

I asked what he really does being that no one has careers.

He said his job is to explain (softly) to guys leaving kollel that just because they can learn up a sugya on par with the Rosh Yeshiva does NOT mean that someone will pay them $150k a year to do a job they have no skill for.

Quotes in a signature is annoying, as it comes across as an independent post.

Terribly dishonest reporting.

The Minyan Shelanu event is not on anyone's radar. The Benny Friedman concert, however, has been widely advertised and it targets the Yeshiva community.

This is taking a page right out of CNN's playbook.

Looks like the biggest issue would be the wording of the link. There didn't seem to be any dishonest spin within the article.

The Minyan does advertise its event.
Do you want to play a board game, digitally or in Lakewood NJ? PM me. (Can be asynchronous, i.e. take turns whenever)

It's kinda weird because looking at the lag baomer organizers/sponsors and it seems to be the establishment fighting itself.
Maybe that explains why the BMG protest is missing a signature.

FWIW I’m not involved at all and this is the first time I’m hearing about it.
But that’s my 2 cents
