Do it yourself

Hi,

"The same is true for all mitzvot: The mitzvah is for one to do it himself, more than for one's proxy to do it."

(R' Avraham Gombiner, Magen Avraham 250:2)

Have a great day,
Mordechai

Breakaway Minyanim

Hi,

"The community may decree that no minyan pray outside the shul, because of appearances – lest the nations think that they are many [Jewish denominations]. Also, because of the individuals themselves who do not pay the taxes and pray elsewhere."

(R' Avraham Gombiner, Magen Avraham 154:23)

Have a great day,
Mordechai
