I know people from the modern to the Yeshivish (Lakewood) bent.
I have been trying to gage what the interest in this event it. In the more modern communities there definatly is a disdain towards this event.
However in the Yeshivish people I know, its been more of an INDIFERENCE, and they are not going either. I will be in Lakewood before the event and will be able to gage their feelings towards the event.
Notice there have not been many replies to this thread, giving the impression even here there is somewhat apathy or hostility to the event as well
