Recently in one of the big shuls in my neighborhood they had an election for president of the young marrieds minyan between one person who wanted decorum during davening and the incumbent who promised to allow all the schmoozing status quo…. the result incumbent 85% of the vote.. Mi Kaamch Yisrael.
Voting to allow shmoozing?…to bad the “big shul” doesn’t have a Rov to keep the members on the derech. Looks like the inmates are running the asylum.
