Brilliant. Brilliant. Couldn't agree more, particularly about the choke hold of the rabbinical establishment and how it is holding B'nei Yisroel back from the future Hashem wants for us.
grateful that my community & rabbi made a point of celebrating the meaninful observance of this miracle. if it was up to the few black hat north-easterners(U.S.) in our shul, i'm sure this wouldn't have taken place. they certainly didn't attend or participate.
