"Kanoim" usu...Hi, sorry it took so long to respond. <BR/>"Kanoim" usually means, in this neighborhood at least, any of the shtarke groups who follow the line of the Eida HaChareidis. His cheder could be Reb Ahrele, could be Shomrei Emunim, or Zupnik, or any of what we always called "the Hungarian mentality." (I'm allowed to say it because I'm Hungarian.) Even parts of the Breslov community in Yerushalayim are considered, or consider themselves, naturally aligned with "the kanoim." To my mind and experience, it's a very straight, pure, Yiddishkeit, with absolutely no interest in anything outside. Which is empowering but can also limit one's ability to effectively communicate the Jewish message beyond one's borders. But, hey, that's the job of people like us, no? We all have our place.<BR/>Halevai I had the steadfastness and passion for avodah that I see among my Toldos Aharoner neighbors. There is a lot to learn.Yehudishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18004226633827976228noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2606399196932045640.post-28676027048107214822008-01-09T23:02:00.000-05:002008-01-09T23:02:00.000-05:00Great post.
