Schneier Dissing Dad?
Rabbi Marc Schneier, who runs a “wildly successful” shul in the Hamptons, intends to open a new shul on the East Side only blocks away from his father’s synagogue. The Jewish Week asks, “Is a parallel Orthodox institution 10 blocks from Rabbi Schneier the Elder’s an affront, or is imitation the sincerest form of flattery?”
Of course it’s a diss! So is the Hampton’s Synagogue…which was a back-handed way of co-opting many of Park East’s prominient members.
