[Rabbi Richard Schachet <LVRabbi...>]

What does this have to do with Shabbat-  I finally read the words and don't 
understand the discussion.  Shabbat is not mentioned at all.

    Agreed. But why have we lost our trust and faith in amcha to decide who
    should and shouldn't be doing what? Quality, whatever that is, will out.
    And
    we must accept that our individual and professional definitions of what
    quality is, and what is best for amcha, may not be the same definitions
    that
    amcha finally decides upon. That's the risk we take when we enter of
    life of
    service to Judaism. Why do we need a cabal of professionals deciding
    for
    amcha what's best?

    Do I, personally, think there's a lot of crap out there? Yes. Do I think
    there are people writing songs and making recordings who probably
    shouldn't
    be? Yes. I just don't think the solution is anything that has yet been
    proposed here, with the possible exception of Beth's that we seek to
    train
    as many as we can and raise the bar that way.

    Still gadflying away,

    -Adrian
