  • Enjoyed it

    I really enjoyed hearing Dennis Prager and Rabbi Jacobson. Top notch in their fields.

    I also didn’t like how the Shlucha spoke in a condescending manner about the university and her secret agendas. Parents are paying tuition for their children to get an education and you come to their territory only to knock it? Not classy.

    It’s great to supplement and to make sure they have Chabad on campus but to belittle it by saying “so called higher education” is not right. I’m sure many people in the audience were college graduates and it’s a spit in the face.

    When Rabbi Yosef Kantor told the story of the man who had blamed him for originally scheduling his wedding day on Yom Kippur and then in the course of the story mentioned that “he rescheduled for Simchas Torah” I really did laugh out loud. This was not the point of the story, but it was a great story. The entire discussion was terrific. What a joy to be able to watch this.
