Did Petty Fighting Lead to Posul Tekios in 770?
On the second day of Rosh Hashanah, Rabbi Sholom Tenenbaum took his place on the Bimah of 770 to blow the Rebbe’s Shofar. After the Tekios were blown, a crack was found on the Shofar’s exterior, likely rendering the Tekios heard by thousands to be insufficient for fulfillment of the Mitzvah. The question on many people’s mind was: Why wasn’t the Shofar inspected beforehand by Rabbi Avrohom Osdoba? In fact, why wasn’t he present on the Bimah during Tekios as usual?
