Too Excellent!

Flip Out Shabbos

From MOChassid-- I couldn't resist, too excellent!

"Shabbos Hagadol at my shul is a coming out party for those young men and women who are in the process of flipping out in Israel.

A lot of kids come back to the US for Pesach (BTW, I don't really get why kids would rather spend Pesach here than in Israel but that's just me. And, I digress).

Annually, on the first Friday night after the kids get home, the place is packed with kids who have never before stepped foot in the shul (some of whose parents must be horrified at the thought). The Rebbe and the shul have big followings among many of the seminaries and yeshivas in Israel so it is natural for the kids who are in the process of flipping to want to daven there.

On motsai Shabbos, when the Rebbe gives his 'motsai Shabbos Hagadol drasha' (Ed: the shul cannot fit the crowd that would come on Shabbos afternoon; so, for the past few years we have been holding the drasha on motsai Shabbos. We have video feeds into our social hall and bais medrash and are able to accomodate more than 600 people). Once again, the shul is teeming with flip-outs in training.

Aish Kodesh: The leading indicator of flip outs."
