Reply To: Music Blasting at Philadelphia While Jewish People are at War in Israel?

Having just watched a video showing a concert recently held for IDF soldiers and reservists who were on a break from the fighting in Gaza for the purpose of providing chizuk and escape from the stress of war, I doubt very much that an asifah held to provide kavod and chizuk for lomdei torah in Lakewood (or anywhere else for that matter) would be viewed as “tone deaf”. Despite the horror of Simchas Torah and the continuing inhumanity of hostages held in Gaza, Israelis are trying to move on with their daily lives while providing as much support and comfort as humanly possible to the victims, hostages and their families.
