JUST IN: Gathering re Internet on May 20 at Shea stadium, w/space for 42,000, by Skulen Rebbe, R’ Mattisyahu Salamon, backed by all Gedolim.
Shea Stadium imploded awhile ago (and so did the team that used to play there)
shea stadium is gone but not the mets! a Jew never gives up
Go Mets (on behalf of my dad— I’m nonpartisan, but I won’t say that with HIM around)!
CitiField is the stadium you want, Getzel.
Is anyone planning to live-Tweet the event?
Hopefully they will have a better showing than the Mets, who can’t seem to get anyone to show up.
The LIRR station is open only when the Mets have a game scheduled
Is anyone planning to live-Tweet the event?
LOL
New York Water Taxi operates a free ferry to the stadium from Pier 11/Wall Street and the East 34th Street Ferry Landing before every game
There is no FREE Ferry to Citifield
So what’ll be with us CR addicts? Will the CR be banned?
for more details see http://WWW.internetisossur.org
just kidding mods, I made that up
if its free maybe some people will show otherwise it will be a flop
When do tickets go on sale? Or is it free? Or will my Siyum Shas ticket reciept be needed to gain entry?
And If I attend this event, do I still need to go to the syium?
lol @ dash…
If this is really true, how come there hasn’t been anything about it in the YWN news section? What is your source, getzel1?
And presuming it is true, who is sponsoring this? How would one obtain tickets?
I hope there will be practical suggestions as to how it is possible to function today without internet, we’ve heard the horror stories already but how many people heed the warnings?
Will the kosher hot dog stands be open?
in all seriousness, they’d better be able to sell out all or at least most of the 42,000 seats. There is nothing more embarassing than having a rally in front of an empty stadium.
In todays world if they dont sell out they will look incredbily foolish to the outside world
Will they put the quarter million dollar mechitza up?
Feif Un: Will they put the quarter million dollar mechitza up?
Nope, it will cost much more than that. They will have to put up a massive wall of fire. And we all know that the price would be exorbitant.
But any firewall mechitza would be priceless.
A woman outside America: If this is really true, how come there hasn’t been anything about it in the YWN news section? What is your source, getzel1?
YWN is an internet news website.
YWN not posting about an internet convention that’s against the internet would be the correct thing to do, at least in the business sense.
Getzel, are you sure? Something is wrong, that day is the last day of the Torah Umesorah convention. Would the cross schedule that?
When all Gedolim ban internet completly wake me up. Until then don’t waste my time with rallies and speeches that are here today and gone tomorrow and have no lasting effect at all.
I’ll try again. How about making a gathering that discusses molestation?
Mets are chush. at least well use the stadium for one good thing……………
i heard many many yeshivos will be attending
Dash why don”t u come attend?
I can’t make a decision to attend based on the limited information I found.
longarekel: I disagree about the effect of rallies and speeches. Look at the rally that Ezra made that convinced tens or hundreds of Jewish men to separate from their non-Jewish spouses, something probably not achievable any other way.
The Ban the Internet event will take place on Yom Yerushalayim and will be available for live streaming with prior registration at the sponsor’s website.
why do 42000 people have to squish into a stadium these days when you can watch it live via video-hookup on the internet in the comfort of your hom….uh…never mind!
It’s still Adar, I guess.
cherrybin: Is that serious?
Still haven’t seen a word about this outside of this thread. It’s not in this week’s Jewish Press (print edition, thank you), or the Mishpacha that arrived this morning. Haven’t checked Hamodia or Yated. Point being – is this for real? And why wouldn’t this have a 1/4 million mechatzia if the Siyum HaShas requires one?
Everyone here knows that I’m the most serious guy in the CR. By the way, who is the sponsor?
who is the sponsor?
Apple and Microsoft.
There were ads in some of the major publications.
