Some of our leaders are
very dedicated to spreading Judaism. They really want to fill their
institutions with eager students thirsty for Torah knowledge.
The Kotzker recognizes the
nobility of such a pursuit. But he also cautions that there may an ulterior
motive that spoils the apparent altruism. The outreach world may not always be
as spiritually philanthropic as it appears.
Often the unspoken sentiment of spiritual
emissaries is that Torah institutions should be well attended as long as they
are their institutions.
He said; “You are claiming spirituality? But (like
Korach who ‘also wanted the priesthood’) you really want to be the Leaders!”
