Ha! Melamed and Torah don’t mix.
Are you saying that they don’t follow basic shulchan oruch?! Like, is the food served in shul kosher?
I wish it would be a mizrachi shul, and follow shulchan oruch. Halevay! They make Young Israel look like fanatics.

Many years ago I heard from Reb Mendel Futerfas, that lubavitch is going to be called soon, Mizrachie Lubavitch,
it’s all good, abi m’kucht zych in gute zachen.
How can a Lubavitch shul be Conservative?! What am I missing???
I didn’t know Bais Shmuel is a Conservative shul, I thought it was Modern Orthodox. When did it become Conservative?
Hey people, the correct spelling of the name of this illustrious family that hails from Toronto, is “SCHOCHET”.
Does anyone know if their ancestor was a shoichet???
Behind every great Rosh stands a greater Roshette.
Who let him go into a Conservative shul???
I would add to Kop Doktar’s comment – There are many more great Shochat Torah personalities. To name some of the newer generation:
Rav Yosef Gavriel Bechhofer – his mother was a Shochat, and he is a Rov of a Khillah and a mechaber of seforim and a marbitz Torah;
Rav Yaakov Wagner – his mother was a Shochat, a mashpiah in Morristown;
Rav Meir Wagner – his mother was a Shochat, principal of the girl’s school in Toronto;
Rav Noam Wagner – his mother was a Shochat, Rosh Yeshiva and Mashpia;
And there are others…
The entire Shochat Family members from Toronto are exceptional individuals. Asiide from The Rosh, Rav Ezra, there’s other brothers, all of whom are giants in Torah scholarship and leadership: Rav Dovid who is Chabad Rov of Toronto and a world renown poisek; Rav Immanuel who is an accomplished author, lecturer and sought after speaker; Rav Elisha who is a great talmid chochum and magid shiur; Rav Ovadia who is legendary and a popular genious in Miami; Plus this power and gift passed to many of the next generation: Rav Akiva Wagner, Rosh of Toronto Yeshiva – his mother was a… Read more »
THE ROSH IS THE BEST!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Silly – the Rosh never wrote a book. HIs brother Rabbi Immanual is the one who wrote the book on Mashiach and many other books. The whole family is ka”h talented and power and it looks like it passed into next generation. Is it genetic?
I am surprized the Rosh attended a Conservative shul.
Where is the audio? Will it be up on bais shmuel website?
The right man at the right time in the right place with the right message!
It’s become apparent that people who ‘claim’ to be involved in pushing the single campaign of Mashiach are indifferent to everything else positive. Cynical people full of criticism towards every Jew and project, judgmental of every move while claiming to be accepting, and stupid enough to voice their negative opinions in a public forum. Perhaps if you start loving every Jew the way the Rebbe showed, you’d be a little more accepting towards them. Oh but that doesn’t really matter, does it?
why the heck do you need to stare at your blackberrys all day! find a different way to make yourselves look busy! gosh!
The Rosh is awesome – he cries and cares for all of his talmidim
WHY IS THE MECHITZA SO LOW?!?
who can stop the mind from observing what is?

I know first hand that the comments made by #8 are true and factual. BTW, #8 is one of the Founding Members of Beis Shmuel who now davens elsewhere and years to come back as often as he can. He participated in last night’s farbrengen with glee.
#2 Almost the entire farbrengen last night revolved around Mashiach. Who are you kidding! The Rosh wrote the first English book on Mashiach! And Geulah – His discussion last night on the Rebbe, the 12 Pesukim… if that’s not all about Geulah to you, then maybe you need to start spending more time at Beis Shmuel.
Go Bundy!!!
whos the guy in the picture with Yossi Malamed?
Looking good with yossi

Please, please, please block the IP address of comment #2
