“I’ll repost for the sake of someone with a drop of honesty and sechel hayashar….”
The problem is sometimes a “drop of seichel” isnt enough, and you need to look deeper.
“You take a peek at those clippings and you get such a feeling of nausea”
No you get a feeling of nausea, others get a feeling of wow look at the thirst so many have to draw close to the Ribono shel Olam
“How many people passed away R””L this year, how would they have liked to grab ANY opportunity to push in ONE MORE earnest Tefillah in time….”
Who are you to say this isnt earnest.?
“How would you think the Navi Yirmiyahu would react knowing that his words השיבנו written with such sorrow, such feeling, such holiness, has turned into the songbooks ”
He would be elated! Nearly 3 thousand years later, after all we have been through. People are still trying to follow his message.
” if you don’t know any better, but kindly leave US out of your urges… no need to publicize it.”
did they force you to go?
Then I agree, That’s wrong
Look the bottom line is this, not everyone is motivated by ideas of a petty being who if you don’t get real sorry he’ll get you . If you don’t cry and beg then you will be among those “people passed away R””L this year, how would they have liked to grab ANY opportunity to push in ONE MORE earnest Tefillah in time….”
now some are motivated by that, and thats great! some don’t really connect to the words so they first hear a shmooz to inspire them. (I fall in this category) Although this is also a new innovation (granted not as new as instruments, but probably newer than singing ). and thats great too!
