Credit Where Credit Is Due

No Sukkos On Chanukah!

... because the Chareidi Roshei Yeshiva cancelled Shmulik Sukkot's concert too. 


IMO, this is a huge mistake on their part... one that will result in a huge decrease in respect for these rabbonim and a Torah lifestyle in general. If you take away the permissible events, some percentage just won't go, but anotther percentage will go elsewhere, where there are no self-imposed filters on content, no concern for modesty, etc. People need to have healthy normal outlets and music needs to be one of them. This is just sad.
