It makes it nearly impossible to get Shlichus unless you lekk or are related to one of the great Infallibles.<BR/><BR/>So, I've found a back door into shlichus, and even to the top of waiting list. There isn't a shliach out there that doesn't want to woe his Ballebatim with big Oxford words.<BR/><BR/>Not only that, but today's Balabos is, on average, more educated and finicky then the Ballebatim in the 70's and 80's. They're looking for rabbis who know where they're coming from. They are demanding that their shluchim are university educated.<BR/><BR/>But your average rabbi is uneducated and can barely read the Oxford words, much less pretend to pull them out of his hat when he's giving a shiur. There is a dearth of educated BT's willing to drop everything and give up their finance careers, for a life of mesirus nefesh. <BR/><BR/>But I've now got the best of both worlds: the fortitude of a shliach and the education of a gentleman.

None of the head-honcho Shluchim are Gezhe.<BR/><BR/>E: You also have to consider the geographical issues:<BR/><BR/>Gezhe and LFB people generally seem to flock to places that are seen as more chassidish than Pittsburgh, or to places more materially attractive.<BR/><BR/>The BT:LFB ratio is lower in places like Crown Heights and Montreal, Detroit, Chicago, London, because of their long-established ultra-chassidishe communities, and also in places like Miami, LA, Melbourne, for their material attractiveness. Towns like Pittsburgh, Twin Cities, Toronto (sorta), New Haven, Sydney, Johannesburg, as well as some smaller pockets of Chabad Chasidus, tend to be more BT-populated. These are the historic "out-of-town," Lubavitch populations. Of course, there are plenty of LFB's there, but they usually tend to be Shluchim, or only second generation LFB's.Nemohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08402531988433648505noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1956851062928470828.post-55721273597173796162008-11-19T15:10:00.000-06:002008-11-19T15:10:00.000-06:00TRS, WTF did that mean?
