Actually, I'd rather have an obnoxious Lubovitcher rabbi next door to me than to have jackbooted thugs running around the county shutting down such operations under the authority of the county zoning administrators.

If you don' t mind, that's your prerogative, but the county had a petition with 300 signatures to deal with from the rabbi's neighbors. The fact that they decided to take some action to deal with that does not make them "jack booted thugs" by any stretch of the imagination.

Whatever happened to common courtesy? Not having read all of the particulars to this story, it takes a pretty big house to hold over 100 people safely.

Yes, let's also deal with the traffic and parking issue. How many cars are needed to transport these folks? Conservatively, you're adding at least 20 cars to the neighborhood for the duration of this gathering. What about the rights of the other homeowners/taxpayers?

I'll check back after I've taken the time to read the article. But it's going to take a lot of evidence to convince me otherwise. I'm all for freedom of religion, but why not build your own church?
