This Misnagid says welcome and so long in advance for your short stay.
I won�t chase you away nor encourage you extend your time in the CR.
I will relay an anecdote:
Members of the CR are aware that I have married again and moved to NY this year.
This month, this month an older brother was. niftar and I sat Shivah with minyanim in my new home.
Every shul Rabbi in town came to be Menachem Avel during the course of the week which was quite a zchus.
The Chabad shul Rabbi (who the new Mrs. Has known well for 20+ years and had a brocha under our Chupah) came on day 6. During our conversation he asked why I have yet to daven, even once, in his shul. I explained that when he removed the Melech HaMoshiach banners and pictures of the Rebbe from the Beis Knesset I would be happy to do so.
I have nothing against the Rebbe, he was a great tzaddik. I had the Zhus to meet him a few times including a private audience almost 50 years ago where I received a brocha leading to the birth of my b�chor; but davening with the portrait of any human hanging in the Beis Knesset smacks of idolatry to me.
The local Rabbi whispers to me that he�d like to remove the banners and picture and place them in the shul lobby but his funding source would dry up.
