Cyril Stein was the initiator. Objections were/are that they are divisive, lack respect for the rabbi, the haftarah etc But being an anti establishment person I always enjoyed them. I like the idea of Synagoigues as social centres but not during prayer time and stepping out seems to me to to be more respectful than talking inside!<br />JRabbi Jeremy Rosenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12723608669485173271noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6141014.post-54524043454277285322011-06-24T12:10:17.504-04:002011-06-24T12:10:17.504-04:00I wrote a letter of complaint to West Dunbartonshi...I wrote a letter of complaint to West Dunbartonshire Council because, like you, I don't care for boycotts. Their reply went something to the effect of "We don't boycott books..." - very nice of them, I'm sure. They are dolts and so am I for bothering to write to them - there is little to achieve for the effort and Wimbledon and Balvenie are much more enticing.<br /><br />Please tell me more about Kiddush Clubs. I'm not a big shikurnik but your description sounded so convivial.<br /><br />Good Shabbos, Jeremy, and have one for me.Leilanoreply@blogger.com
