“There is a huge difference between frolicking at selichos and playing music at selichos.”
Yes, thank you. That’s what you, me, and several others have been repeating throughout this thread, yet they just keep going back to “what’s the big deal about a guitar? People have had music at slichos for forever.”
A lot of “millennials” are/were in Yeshiva and are probably some of the most hot-headedly opposed to Carlbachers. This isn’t really an age issue. We aren’t talking about BMG guys going off the derech if they can’t have slichos parties. These are people already into hippie Judaism and it should go without saying that it’s in the best interests of the Torah world to get them back to real Judaism. Legitimizing their charades in the name of kiruv or “adding meaning” is not going to help accomplish that.
