Most askanim do nice things. Most pilots land their planes safely. Most plumbers fix leaks well. It’s incompetent and plainly dishonest to brand the many who volunteer their own time for the good of Klal Yisroel as anything less than Baalei Chesed, from which you benefit as well as others. Moshe Rabbeinu gave serious mussar to Klal Yisroel (????? ??? ?? ?’ ?”?) when they said ?????? ??? ???? ????? in complaining about the ??, where he called them ????? ???? ??? ????? ????. To reject the extents of chesed done for you is a despicable trait, and there are so many askanim from whom you derive direct and indirect benefit. There are rotten apples in every barrel, and they should be held responsible for their actions. Meanwhile, those ?????? ????? ????? ?????? are recognized in public every single Shabbos, and are given accolades recognizing that they are deserving of ???, as well as ????? ??????, and ?????, for their ??????, above and beyond what they may otherwise earn from their ????? ?????.
