I might be a ‘Classic Litvak’
Definitely a Misnagid and follower of the Brisk
I find the whole idea of a Chassidic Court ridiculous, but to each its own. I may not support the system, but can admire and value the learning and institutions of many Chassidic groups.
Our family has financially supported the Laniado Hospital of the Sanzer Chassidim for decades becuase it is the right thing to do, not because we agree with their minhagim.
What I always find amusing about all these Wedding pictures is the lack of food. Thousands of Wedding guests and not a real meal to be seen. A few honored guests at the cloth covered tables get a piece of cake, fruit and a drin. Sorry, This is not what I consider a Seudas Mtizvah. Better to have 50 guests and serve a banquet than a thousand guests and serve next to nothing.
