that we believe gul is only going to happen when Klal Yisrael does tshuva.

And another one of the, that I believe that Mashiach is going to come, that means that I believe Klal Yisrael is going to do tshuva.

So instead of writing off Klal Yisrael, or half of Klal Yisrael, or some significant number of Klal Yisrael, we have to be able to say, I believe in Klal Yisrael, and I'm going to behave that way.

So ultimately, of course the Navi's right.

Of course the Rambam's right.

Of course Rav Shechter's right.

And therefore what?

And therefore, as Rav Shatzu himself pointed out, and Rav Tversky pointed out, and Rav Lopiansky pointed out, and Rav Tsi Berkowitz pointed out,

Others took a different path on this, and they're wrong.

But the people I just mentioned all pointed out, and therefore we have to do more.

We have to be better at creating that sense of Kiddushim Shemayim that will make Torah mitzvahs as appealing as it possibly can be, and to develop a certain sense of relationship.

Okay, question number...

Seven, when leading a zimon and only reciting the first bracha out loud, is it preferable not to say the subsequent brachas out loud to avoid the risk that someone mid-bracha may mistakenly answer a main and create a hafzik?

Practically, what's the ideal way to lead?

Okay, I don't think you have to worry about how people will react when you do the right thing.

You know, Shechter at his house, I was told, informs guests that the minig here is that the person leading the benching says the entire benching out loud, slowly.

And the idea is that everyone else...

says it along.

Now, even when not in a zimun, the Shulchan Aruch says that it's best to say, benching out loud, loud enough that you're able to hear it.

The Shulchan Aruch writes this in Simukov Peihei, and in fact, many of the Akronim quote from a Sefer Charedim, that if you say it so quietly that you don't even hear yourself, that you're not even Yotzei Dei Chavasso.
