"I like the dreams of the future better than the history of the past". - Thomas Jefferson
The upcoming asifa at Citi Field is fraught with problems but I propose a solution that
will not only unify Klal Yisroel but might also right a historical wrong.
Ever since the first Asifa ad, the focus of this event has been very vague. We were told it was about the dangers of the Internet but no information was provided besides the slogan of “we can't live with it, we can't live without it.” The latest ad says even less about the content: “All the gedolim will be there, so why not you.” I’m unsure if all the gedolim will be there, but even if they will, most people don't feel we need an asifa for the sake of an asifa, especially since the Siyum Hashas is around the corner. The new plan of bussing in all the Yeshivos for free sounds fun, but do they really need to lose so much time in order to attend another shmooze? Is there no other venue to sell filtering products other than this live expo? With the way the media will portray us and the counter demonstrations outside Citi Field, this event, which may have had good intentions, will most likely turn out to be a chilul hashem of immense proportions. However, canceling the event is out of the question because a large fortune of money has already been spent. The stadium has been rented and the production companies have worked hard to set the event up.
