I don’t think he had the option of staying. GW is trying to give the Agudah a new look and bring in some youth.
Although the Agudah is a great organization, Rabbi Bloom deserves much more, and will be heading into something more chashuv and forfilling.

The mission that the agudah has set forth is very important. Let’s hope that under the leadership of rabbi zwiebel it would only grow. To comment number one, what mistakes were made at the siyum hashas? It was the biggest maamad of kiddush hashem that I ever attended.

We need nore people like Rabbi Blum in Klal yisroel,

One thing I can say knowing Chaskel Benett for over 20 years. He is a person that we must stand up for to go out there and always ready to help Klal Yisroel

To further address earlier comments regarding the next generation of Agudah leadership: you have Chaskel and others representing the next generation of lay leaders and you have Yechiel Kailish leading a whole group of regional offices around the country run by capable and articulate bnai Torah all in their 30′s. That is your next “dor” and it should bez”H be a truly exciting one with the staff they have assembled.

Well said, Chaskel. Readers should know, that this, coming from a man like Chaskel Bennett who is a doer not just a speaker. A young active askan himself, Chaskel knows firsthand what the Agudah, Rabbi Bloom and askonus is about. I read this letter and I say to myself “The man is right!”… and Oh… I’ll be there too!

Rabbi Bloom isn’t that young. He has worked tirelessly for decades. Not always does politics play a part. Sometimes people make personal decisions. And to Rabbi Bloom’s credit, he never tried to fill Rabbi Sherer’s shoes, an impossible task. He wants to devote time to himself and his family. Nothing wrong with that.

With all the respect in the world, we have many problems today. what is the difference who is in or who is out, The Aguda is an organization that is only as strong as we want it to be.These days everybody is a boss and chas V’sholom the Rabonim tell us something we dont want to hear! The Aguda is doing its job- are we?
We read story after story about this issue and that crisis and most of us just move on. Some actually take the time to write a comment.
Still some more find the easy excuse to bash.
How important it is to see a problem and try to fix it. Kids at risk, Shiduchim, Parnosah the list goes on and on. We are in big trouble.
Get busy fixing. #5 Stop worrying about politics.
There is plenty to go around without your help. We are our own worst enemy.Men like R’ Bloom and R’ Zwibel should be held up high for our kids to admire.
