Reminds me of a friend of mine who is not particularly religious but goes to shul regularly to daven that he wont get Hagba.<BR/><BR/>BTW - the guy who ran out of shul may not have saved his lunch if Chalila the Torah had fallen, look at the Psak From Rav Lau in Modi'in on you site, he says that it was a communal tragedy and all members of the shul should take part in the Tshuva process. He even encourages members of the Sfardi shul in the same building to join them.<BR/><BR/>Bli neder I'll address this Modi'in story in my next blogpost - I just need to find time to finish the post. Stay tuned.Michael Sedleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02684514303911193073noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13539920.post-41194704231619078082008-10-28T20:15:00.000+02:002008-10-28T20:15:00.000+02:00It saddens me that this occurred [to the child] of...<I>It saddens me that this occurred [to the child] of such a serious and responsible family, and it is a difficult feeling to dismiss.</I><BR/><BR/>Of course if this had happened to the child of a less distinguished family I suspect that R. Lau would not have been nearly so saddened and would have blamed the child and his bad family.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13539920.post-47860950670109090192008-10-28T19:21:00.000+02:002008-10-28T19:21:00.000+02:00Great post, Jameel!

I also clicked through to your 'Amazing Save' link and enjoyed the tivo moment immensely. <BR/><BR/>My synagogue's Rabbi has the scroll totally unwound around the sanctuary - apparently much to the distress of some members when it was first done a few years ago. she has promised that if a mishap takes place, she will never request that the unwinding is done ever again.<BR/><BR/>So far, so good.<BR/><BR/>RachelAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
