He paints all 50,000 residents of Lakewood with one big brush as being judgmental and elitist. He makes massive generalizations - "
nobody here (in Lakewood) gives or gets any slack", "
all have an opinion on
every single person they
ever come into contact with", "
All judging each other", "I and other people feel like we're being judged by a sanhedrin of
50,000 people in Lakewood".
Besides for the fact that he sounded like a 2 year old painting everyone with one big brush, he also possibly committed the biggest act of Lashon Hara in world history. The video has 66,000 views in 3 days!
I believe his speech is a product of 3 things.
1 - a genuine care for the children who have a hard time with schools.
2 - like CBC said already -
He blames his inferiority feelings amongst yeshiva guys on their elitist attitude.
Meh.
3 - misinformation. He is surrounded by ppl who kush his ____, and tell him what he wants to hear. And they all told him that his speech was great, and every word was true.
I hope the rumors of an apology are true.
