  1. So.......I checked your link about 'big Aish', turns out it's on a blog by David Kelsey, a ex baal teshuva who is bitter about his experiences a good friend of Shmarya Rosenberg.
    But you''ll do anything, quote anybody as long as you can spew dirt on other 'competing' kiruv organisations.Tell me, 90% of Jews are not frum, despite Chabads long years of kiruv and I'm not denigrating Chabads work, but unfortunately there is enough work for everybody.
    I think you are a street thug, you really are a lowlife.

  2. "Street Thug?" c'mon, now. You don't really believe that, do you?

  3. From Bronya's description of Gedalia: "There wasn’t anything he didn’t know about. And he was so gentle. With all that there was to him there was no arrogance. He was so comfortable to be with."

    That's just exactly right. That really sums up what it was like to speak to him.

  4. Mr chill

    You do realize that Tzig put desperate in quotation marks. That would mean, as I see it, that he does not fully agree with that being the case. I would therefore say that you owe Tzig an apology, since he brought the link only to show how the Kvetcher sees it.

  5. No, you don't understand. The point is to excoriate Tzig. If he hadn't mentioned the Aish campaign, Mr SnagChill would have a problem with Tzig not promoting Kiruv and Torah.

  6. Davdi Kelsey is the last person I'd quote on anything even remotely related to Kiruv, pro or against. A seriously bitter fellow who will probably commit suicide if he doesn't overdose before that. I've met him a few times and I've rarely seen such a self-loathing as he projects from anyone.
    Why you'd quote him here is beyond me?
